Pushing the moral limits for wealth? Consumerism was never just about buying stuff.
It was about a faith in boundless economic growth.
Tomorrow brings more goods, more choice, more shopping.
It was about binding our personal identities with the
brands we bought and the market segments we inhabited.
It was about accumulating more goods as "reward"
for enduring less satisfying work live.
It was about social and community sructures where shopping malls become centers of community,
where suburbia and home ownership were vehicles for displaying our purchases.
It was about a cult of celebrity that lionized Trump,
Brangelina (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie) and Hannah Montana.
Fame means turnig yourself successfully into a commodity on the open media market
and becoming an icon of unlimited acquisitiveness.
One of many cultural side effects of capitalism is that the act of
selling shapes, the desires of a culture. We eat the fruit of Apple Inc.
because we consider the iPhone delicious. But did we arrive at this conclusion
on our own or has the smooth talker behind the press release shaped our desires?
The genius of capitalism is that it is constantly fiding ways
to turn desire in profit, but this is also a terrifying side of capitalism.
Every desire finds a market. Take the sick and illegal desire to rape children.
In capitalism, this desire is a business opportunity, just like any
other business opportunity. And if the desire exists or if it can be created,
it will be pursued and will be shaped.
In point Amazon.com recently pulled a new Japanese rape simulation game called
RapeLay from their selves. They continue to sell other rape simulations,
but this product turns the depravity notch up a few levels by putting
the player in control of a sex maniac from a rich and powerful family,
whose goal is to sexually assault and then rape a mother
and her two young virgin daughters. The game also includes a fucked up feature
called gang rape mode with up to five computer-controlled "friends".
And if the sexual violence gets boring,
players have the option of a "movie-making" mode while forcing the victims into having abortions.
New and disturbing levels of realism have also been achieved to keep gamers enthralled,
such as tears welling up in the eyes of a young girl as you sim-rape her
Rapelay has one of the most active player communities in Japan.
There are mods (google Rapelay materials) for every facet of the game from removing the censorship,
translating the game to English, Spanish and German, new clothes, new hairstyles and even new voices.
All developed and distributed for free by adoring fans.
Rapelay’s success in the three years since its release is something of a legend.
Not only has it produced two expansions already (and even talks of a movie) but
it’s even inspired a sub-genre of Rapelay copycats.
