Rape games not really banned and I hate TBS
VisualArts chairman reports on the VisualArts official BBS.
According to the Ethics Organization of Computer Software (EOCS):
1. TBS came to them to do a coverage on the Rapelay thing
2. They accepted the interviews, but TBS had edited the footage and misrepresented EOCS’s intended stance (as usual by TBS)
3. They just got another request for a 2nd interview the other day
4. They rejected the request because of what happened at point #2
5. The news report by TBS appears out of the blue
Comments from eroge industry guy on 2ch ◆tCkJGHo4HY:
For exact details wait till the meeting on the 2nd of June. The TBS news report came completely without warning even for eroge makers. Nobody has any information about this.
TBS as usual has jumped the gun and exaggerated everything. If it is really decided that rape games will be regulated we’ll definitely at least have till past July to comply. The used game market will probably still be OK. The EOCS is currently in a situation where they might lose to outside pressure so please help them!
It hasn’t been decided that rape games will be regulated, they still have to listen to the opinions of all the member companies so something like that won’t be passed that easily. But we can’t be optimistic about this.

Comments from the Abel official blog (The Abel chairman Kanno Hiroyuki is one of the directors of the EOCS):
Something that none of the actual EOCS directors even knew about is being reported on the news apparently. All the directors currently have a ? mark over them.
Apparently the root of all this was that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry had told a certain New Komeito Party representative that there will be a meeting held on the 2nd of June where the EOCS will review their PC game software regulations.
This information somehow changed after the NKP representative passed the information to a TBS reporter, which resulted in the news article.
Chinese whispers game?
We had a request from TBS for an interview yesterday, and we rejected them, but this probably doesn’t matter anymore, lets report our news properly.
Anyway, we’ll decide on the direction that we’ll take in regards to the regulations during the emergency meeting that was planning on the 2nd of June. We hope it won’t become what TBS has reported about, but tighter regulations is probably something that is unavoidable.
I’ve written about this several times before, but it’s important to accommodate and get along with society. Lets move on quietly while being careful and seeing how society feels about everything.
*the post has been deleted and this site appears to have kept a copy of the post, and a google search verifies that the post had definitely existed on the blog a few hours ago
This isn’t the first time that TBS makes up news either, somebody do something about them. I guess this explains why no other Japanese news organization has reported about this.
