Imagine Grand Theft Auto as designed by the federal government, and you’ve got the University of New Hampshire’s forthcoming game to teach young men not to rape.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that the Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice awarded nearly $600,000 to the university to develop a game “based off the university’s sexual prevention program and bystander marketing campaign, which sells posters that depict conversations about rape.”
Aren’t you excited already to “play” a game where you win by judging people?
The grant will also pay for an advisory board that includes “professionals from the behavioral sciences, victim services, prevention, public health, criminal justice, and game design fields.”
Here’s a wild guess that no defense lawyers will be consulted.
The game will look like “real life college parties” where you engage in “guy talk” to dissuade your friends from raping people.
The university posters on which the game is based refer to victimized women as “passed out,” meaning they are clearly incapacitated and unable to give consent, not simply exercising poor judgment while drunk. That’s not a common scenario in disputed sexual liaisons where an accused male claims that his partner was participating fully in the act.
