As disturbing as this is, you can't really blame video game producers for creating it b/c there is an obvious demand for it.

As the much educated MBS's are paid to find out such "need gaps" in the market and come up with a product that has a reasonable market for it. This seems to be a similar case where there is an audience for such kind of fun play and companies will compete to monetize this opportunity without considering the log term outcome. <br>To me promoting such a game means that you are giving the audience a taste of such a low level of pleasure. Moreover its availability in the market also indicates that its a pleasure that the society is giving acceptance to by making it available freely. So this goes a long way and has repercussion that we might not be able to even see today.<br><br>I am glad that you raised this topic.

As disturbing as this is, you can't really blame video game producers for creating it b/c there is an obvious demand for it. I'm not saying this is an excuse, but for whatever reasons, the perpetual cycle of blind supply and demand seems to trump good ethics and moral reason.

If you took the time to visit their website you might learn just how effective and strong they are on issues of violence and discrimination against women and girls. No money for that fight, I can tell you that, not on an international level but Equality Now has been standing up for women and girls for a long time. If you want to make noise about education programs, then you have to go to USAID, my dear or the individual governments themselves. It is going to take a very very long time. Why not try to get rid of garbage like this? There are many Japanese women who would like to see this filth banned in their country. How do you know what the group is thinking?
