Mere months after a public outcry forced Amazon.com to ban a Japanese rape-simulation video game called “Rapelay” (to win, you stalk and rape women and force them to get abortions), the company is doing it again—this time, selling a video game called “Stockholm: An Exploration of True Love.” The setup is that you’ve kidnapped a woman and must make her “fall in love with you,” by poisoning her, raping her, and psychologically torturing her. Because abusing women is a game, get it?

I hate big media because they do this kind of stuff. That is why I spent so much time make an online directory of online bookstores that serve as alternatives to Amazon. This company has gotten so big that it literally controls what we can and cannot read. Same for movies and video games. All it has to do is buy the other venues/media outlets and then we are all doomed. At http://www.bookstorelistings.com, online bookstores are categorized by what category of books they carry. So you can actually find bookstores on there that specialize in books about womens rights.
