This content occurs in the Bible, should it also be banned from sale?

What about old plays that contain similar content?

What about art that contains it?

The point is that visa and mastercard should not be policing it, if is legal to own you should be allowed to buy it.

I'm not a fan of the games. I also know that these groups also consider certain people, like lgbt people, to be just as morally impermissable. If this is acceptable for them to do, why not censor all queer content for the same groups? Where does it stop?

so why should people have to see that on their computers in the first place?

You don't have to see anything online, (unless you are on a mind rotting infinite scroll). When you want to see something or play a game you have to actively seek it out.

This issue is that once there is a precedent set for payment processors manipulating markets they wont stop. Just like the zombies on tiktok that say "un-alive" because they thin the word "died" will have them kicked off the internet, publishers and developers will get nervous that their game may not sit well with a payment processor for some reason like religion, racial heritage, or opinions on sexual orientation and gender, and they will be unable to sell their game.

Ultimately the material you seem to have an objection to is just an artistic expression, created with the consent of all involved. It has nothing to do with an actual illegal activity. This is just a smokescreen to further the conservative agenda of some old assholes with lots of money. If left unchecked, these groups would likely move on to other things like banning sex shops or certain civil rights organizations (e.g. LGBTQIA+) from using credit cards. How far would you allow them to go with their puritanical beliefs, when you can no longer purchase a beer or watch a scary movie?

What about the 1000 rape/SA movies? Should those be removed too? I love a good revenge movie where the women come back and fuck up their attackers.

I've never played any games like the ones removed, but the principal still stands, when they decide people shouldn't buy or own something, they just block it?

What happens when they decide anything homosexual should be blocked? Or anything non Christian? Or anything regarding BLM? who the fuck are they to say ANYTHING at all?

you're missing the point.

yes, that content is despicable and probably shouldn't have been created in the first place, or at the very least stopped from publishing by valve. but that's not what we're talking about here.

if the payment processors have that much power to pull games they don't agree with, they won't stop here with rape/incest and can pull whatever they decide is "impure".

it sets a precedent where the people who handle money can grab even more power just because they feel like it. dating sims/violent shooters could be on the block next, and while it would be a much harder push for them due to the size of fanbases, would you still roll over and say "well not everyone wants to be subject to these things on their computer"?

Conservative movements are not known for their restraint and fairness. They cannot be trusted to not abuse people.

The platforms do this when found or reported already. This is the first they came for (group A) then they come for (group B) etc. I don't think they meant that rape/incest = lgbt(note the comma in their comment), it looks like they are saying that when this is successful the companies will then get "complaints" about LGBT games and they would get removed, then the violent games etc.

Because they didn't just stop there when they removed from all NSFW content from itch.io

It's not just a one-and-done thing, it will keep escalating.
