An internet game where the player must shoot gay men before they can 'rape' you has been removed from a Georgian website after pressure from gay groups.
Originally launched on the 'Uzinagaz' website in 2002, the game came under fire this week when discovered by the Gay Armenia group, which was "completely disgusted" by it, saying it promoted hatred and violence against gay people.
The game 'Watch out behind you, hunter!' involves the player becoming a hunter who moves through a forest and shoots nudists who appear out of the bushes. If the naked men reach the hunter before he shoots them, they 'rape' the hunter - an act shown in the game.
"Our games are not politically correct," the website's owner told The Observers French news service. "They're aimed at teenagers (12-18) and it's true that they're of a juvenile humour.
"I realise now that this one in particularly could be found shocking, but I believe that you should be able to make this kind of joke in the name of freedom of speech. Incidentally, not everyone in the gay community was supportive of banning the game," he commented.
However, the website has now removed the game altogether.
A video clip from the game appears below.
