Jo, could you explain to me what in-game choices trigger that? The second dialogue box in the game, with Breite Dorfbewohnerin. http://i.imgur.com/NvqM6YF.png Second option -> game over. I'm sorry if you feel my lack of command of the German language disqualifies me to comment on the clever subtext in semen-soaked preteens. Good news is apparently an English translation is in the works!

Really? That's a thing we're doing? Fine. Sigh. Bernd And The Mystery Of Underageville is a game by, and for, a German-language 4chan-style image board, Krautchan. The users of that forum are generically referred to as "Bernds" - it's no accident that the protagonist's name is Bernd, one of the developers uses Berlin Bernd as a pseudonym, and that the "dev team" is called BerndSoft. Speaking of BerndSoft, here's devlogo.png from the game: http://i.imgur.com/6dI7Nx0.png The subtitle reads: "BerndSoft is the place where you can enjoy the beauty of eroge. We made software featuring young and petite lolis. You will definitely find these excellent games worth to be called true masterpieces." For those at the back, loli is the general term used for underage girls in manga. So what's the content, exactly? Well, I'm no domain expert on this. Fortunately this is the Internet, and there are plenty of domain experts on the content to be found. On "All The Fallen", a web forum which describes itself as "a forum for lolicon [illustrated little girl porn] and shotacon [illustrated little boy porn]. It is NOT child friendly and they do allow pedophiles so it is highly advised you avoid this site at all costs", user "l0licon" describes the game as: "You turn Bernd into a pedophile and need to save the world by having sex with lolis" He's backed up by user "Kyle8910": "It's kinda like that, yeah. At first, any loli sex is done by force as when raped by fairies (Cirno in background), but then it changes where you are standing up for those lolis who want to have sex. I mean, you find a pot smoking loli who happily does stuff with you. You earn loli power from this and it helps fight the demon bitch near the end. Really tough boss btw." Elsewhere, on all-knowing 4chan: "It's the one where Muhammad lets you fuck his child bride." Which sounds like exactly the kind of thing we desperately want in the Debian archive, clearly. Curiously, the quality of the soundtrack doesn't seem to come up much in the reviews of the game, so much as the quality of the child sex. > With the exception of violence implied by the various game overs (prison > rape, being eaten by pigs etc.), the game is not very violent.

This is a paedophile fantasy, the "she's the one who seduced *me*!" argument gets trotted out in court time after time. By definition, the game's dozen child sex scenes are of child abuse which is legally equivalent to rape in most jurisdictions in the world. Well, you could argue that the demon child Emily isn't human so isn't covered by such things, ditto the fairies, I guess. Ten scenes with twelve girls, then. >> And yes, even removing many red alerts, this strikes me as something >> that will very likely be illegal in one or more jurisdictions. We >> don't want that. > > If Debian does not distribute sex scenes that are illegal in some > jurisdictions, what would you think might bring legal difficulties? Splitting into multiple packages is not enough - the source tarball still consists of hundreds of images of child sexual abuse. FTPmaster's job isn't just to check licenses - our mirror network relies on us to make sure the content we ask them to distribute is not going to get them in trouble. You think we'd still have a single mirror left if we handed them childrape.orig.tar.gz? You think FTPmaster wants to put themselves in a legal situation where they can't even review the package because it's illegal where they are (as is the case for most of the team AFAIK)? And let's say all the artwork gets removed. Everything in seks/, portions of char/, most of det/ (oh look, bestiality, had not noticed that before) and gal/. What's left? A mostly-text game about saving the world through child abuse. Thankfully, since the Code of Conduct GR hasn't passed yet, I can say, quite happily: PLEASE fuck off. The harm you're trying to cause Debian is hard to measure. I'm not opposed to visual novels. I've played and enjoyed some. I'm not opposed to interactive fiction. I'm not opposed to games where the protagonist is not a sympathetic person. I *am* opposed to any effort wasted by serious Debian contributors to upload child rape fantasies to the archive. Again, please just fuck off elsewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
