Hmm, some of those titles are suspicious because yes perverted nerds do cause some of society's problems as we learned from the whole incel movement, and there are studies showing some types of porn lowers empathy etc for others.

    It's the fucking principle.

    3rd party payment holders should not be the morale Police...what turns into morale reasons shifts to political very quickly

    Yep, it goes well beyond the principle.

    If this sticks, expect every conservative group in the US to start trying this. Pressure Visa/ MC/ PayPal not to accept charges from Planned Parenthood, or from LGBT-friendly businesses, or from book publishers they don't like, etc. This is just censorship by other means.

    Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.

    The deleted article's author question some of the feminist group's claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But don't dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.

    I don't see a good reason to censor those articles. They could be better, maybe better highlight the danger of some porn, and the need for moderating. But the articles are not that bad.
