Developers come up with creative disclaimer to bypass rape game ban

After the Western world caught wind of Japanese rape games -- thanks to someone who posted a RapeLay item on Amazon -- Japan completely banned rape sims.

As any gamer can tell you, however, there are always ways around such rules. A certain hentai game called Shinobiryuu, released just last week, comes with a rather creative disclaimer for its rape scenes.

Perhaps inspired by live action porn, the developers included a declaration in the beginning stating that the game's characters are all specially trained and are only acting out rape scenes, not actually being raped.

This is a declaration made with the consensus of all the characters that appear in this story. All the characters appearing in this game have gone through special training and all actions carried out are done on the basis of mutual agreement. Even if you’re a inhuman person who believes that fictional characters in creative works do not have human rights, please do not ignore this. We also thank all the kind people who see a character in the story saying phrases such as “help me” and take it as a real call for help. However, even though you are worrying for the characters in the story, these are all lines spoken from a script. They are not saying all this from the bottom of their hearts. We are sorry that they have put in so much effort into their acting that some people will confuse it as something that is really happening. This game is a fictional story.

Story is fictional, characters are only acting -- lawsuit averted! Seems the makers have a sense of humor too, because in addition to the disclaimer, a couple of ninja ladies have an amusing conversation regarding their "rights" as characters in a game involving rape. Enjoy:
