Well it was pulled after the 'hot coffee' easter egg was discovered, but that's beside the point.
There's less of a reaction to GTA-type violence because it's so predominant in Hollywood entertainment. Lethal Weapon, The Godfather, Die Hard, Rambo, they all feature big guns and loud explosions, so we're used to it, and we're able to separate fantasy fiction from reality fiction, which as an unintended side effect desensitizes us from the latter.
Rapes, on the other hand is not widely portrayed in Hollywood, and when it is, it often stirs controversy.
In other words,
Sex, okay.
Violence, okay.
Sex + violence, not okay.
On a side note, based on the reviews, it sounds like your run-of-the-mill hentai game.
