About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

This video game portrays not only etreme sexism, but is centered around violence towards women. In the game, you are encouraged to abduct women, and give them a "reassuring slap" if they protest. 

Furthermore, this video game only requires that you click a button saying you're 17 or older if you are playing online. There is graphic nudity, sex toys, etc, with only a single button to stop children from playing it.

Gearbox Software, the company releasing the game, can be contacted via it's website.

Please stop the release of Duke Nukem Forever!

Greetings,

I am asking you to stop the release of Duke Nukem Forever. It's depiction of the treatment of women is horrifying. No video game EVER needs to allow the player to abduct and abuse women. Furthermore, there is only one barrier, a single mouse click, between a minor and your game.

It is detrimental to everyone that you depict the treatment of women in this way. Abducting and abusing women is not normal, or acceptable, in ANY circumstance, even in a video game. Please stop this from reaching the market. The impact this game will have on society is detrimental and far reaching.

Thank you.
