In Australia, where some links are censored by Google, a recent poll of 45,000 readers of the Sydney Morning Herald overwhelming voted against internet censorship by 96% of poll participants. Only 3% voted for internet censorship, and the remainder were indifferent. This means that 96% agreed the game should remain available by Google, and it should be up to the user what is appropriate. http://www.businessinsider.com/hate-web-censorship-so-this-rape-simulator-is-ok-with-you-2010-3
An Electronic Frontiers Australia spokesperson made the following statement in regards to the game:Those who want to will be able to get around the filter, and the content will be quickly copied from site to site. Games like this will only ever represent a tiny minority, and the proper response is largely parental, to make sure kids aren't getting their hands on them.
