This is particularly because youth in our country already seem hypersexualized, and where the phenomenon of dating violence and domestic violence occurs with some regularity. The availability of these games to teenagers in America (regardless of whether they are available on store shelves or downloadable from BitTorrent or other P2P sites) is what is concerning to me. Research, though, has not proven a link here and I believe it is due to cultural constraints in Japan where shame and dishonor is used to keep youth and adults in line. As a criminologist, this is intriguing and so one wonders if the video games allow for escapism to engage in deviant acts, thereby alleviating a felt need to act out in deviant ways in the real world. To be sure, Japan has very high availability rate of violent games/movies/manga/hentai but also has a very low incidence of real-world crime and violence. As such, the argument goes, hentai games should be available as their main purpose and outcome is entertainment for the gamer. Playing such games has not affected the national murder rate (in any country), and so it is illogical to believe that sexually assaulting a girl in a subway might induce someone to do the same in real life. Some argue that players “kill” other players in so many video games (Call of Duty, Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Halo 3), and that it is commonplace and even banal. While genitalia are obscured in the depicted graphics, the scene and action leaves little to the imagination. In one scene depicted in the CNN story from a game entitled “RapeLay,” the player pursues a girl, her sister, and her mom in a subway scene and is able to stalk her, back her into corners, lift her dress, fondle her, and rape her. The major problem with these games is that they seem to promote sexual violence against women, and present it in a way that makes the “player” believe it is a game, or part of a conquest, or a way to flirt, or that girls ask for it by how they dress and behave.

Recently, though, they have been “ripped” from DVD-ROMs and made available in digital format online – for anyone to download regardless of their location and their age. Hentai generally refers to sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation, and video games of this ilk have been available for years overseas.
Recent press coverage has been focused on “hentai” video games being produced in Japan and distributed all across the world in an underground manner. Social Media, Cyberbullying, and Online Safety Glossary.Bullying and Cyberbullying Resources, Research, and Help
