Sociolotron

The MMORPG Sociolotron is an sexual role-playing game that allows the virtual performance of many fantasies including rape.

GamesFirst has a two part article by Shawn Rider containing a outline of the game rules and interviews with players. In a creative format authored by the construction of artificial rules, Sociolotron stands out as an important story-of-the-eye type freeform experiment in "the dogged pursuit of removing any obstacle to character actions. So actions like rape, theft, and general assault or mayhem are possible, and character's "social" interactions range from basic sit/stand positions to sexual activities ranging from intercourse to analingus." From the perspective of sexual politics I'd be interested to see research done on the long-term psychological effect virtual sex-play has on sexual offenders. Depending on the individual it could provide outlet or encouragement. However from the perspective of writing game laws as an artistic media - Sociolotron stands out as an interesting experiment in attempting to produce high quality game play by largely removing the game laws which sculpt game play challenges.
