Television pundits and politicians may claim that videogames allow you to virtually rape women, but really, only a certain few games do that, and they remain in Japan. Come revel in the irony, then, of TV Judge Greg Mathis and his new Street Judge game, which will feature all sorts of sexy prison rape.
"The main difference between our game and Grand Theft Auto is that players will have to deal with the justice system and consequences for their actions," explains Mathis. "When you go to prison, you gain credibility when you come back on the streets. On the other hand, when you go to prison you can also be raped. So take your chances. We may see young people who make the wrong choice and go to prison and are assaulted repeatedly (in this game)."
The game will be a third-person open world shooter, much like GTA, expect with just as much punishment as reward. An interesting a noble goal. That said, I bet if Rockstar were to make the exact same game, FOX News and the rest of the moral warriors would be screaming from the rooftops about virtual orgasmic rape. Mathis here will get nothing but applause.

But what's this? You get street cred for being in jail? Does real life work that way? Do people actually get street cred for going to jail?! If that's the case, I'm surprised more people aren't more eager to go to jail to increase their street cred skillz. I bet Tookie Williams, before he kicked the bucket, had insanely high street cred and probably maxed it out.
P.S. Bonus protection for finding extra bars of soap.
Seems like Judge Mathis is working on the assumption that gamers can't differentiate real-life from video games. Even if that is the case, I seriously doubt that the kids will learn the consequences of their actions (in the game). Experiencing prison in a video game is nothing like experiencing it in real life. Can you really imagine gamers feeling regretful or any form of empathy when their playable character goes to prison and getting raped? Will this game make us see the vision of Christ on the way to Damascus? The cynic in me says no.
@michiyoyoshiku: Actually it's true rape is "rare", because a lot of people voluntarily turn gay. They expect when they come out they are instantly not gay any more. Don't ask how I know this. Also if you don't submit they just beat you repeatedly. Until you volunteer.
rape is about the most fuct up thing that they could put into a game but rape don't happen in jail, it happens in prison. i know because i've spend more than 6 months in jail. people also don't join gangs in jail because you don't have to to survive it unscathed, you just have to keep your mouth shut and don't wheel and deal trading your food.
i believe the judge knows what will cause controversy and this is just that so his game can break free from his image but i don't think the game will be released with any kind of rape or his reputation as a justice giving judge will be tainted for tying his name to something that he advertised rape to be in. it just don't make sense in the end for him after PR gets a word with him.
and in certain circles, going to prison does increase your credibility because people know you ain't a cop or did your time without dropping a dime on your people.
It's like porn, but a game. FTW.
