The recent Western crackdown on the legally-released-three-years-ago game Rapelay has inspired Japanese politicians swoop onto the bandwagon. Surprised?

The New Komeito Party is fingering erotic games as a negative influence on the rate of Japanese sex crimes.

As website Sankaku Complex points out, Japan has an extremely low sex crime rate:

UN Rape Rates

per 100,000

Canada: 78.08

Australia: 77.79

USA: 32.05

Sweden: 24.47

UK: 16.23

France: 14.36

S. Korea: 12.98

Germany: 9.12

Russia: 4.78

Taiwan: 4.08

Japan: 1.78

The Komeito Party is quoted as stating, “There is a very good chance that the influence of violent sex games far exceeds that of regular pornography.” The politicians provided no basis for these claims. How convenient.
