TikTok is effectively selling the sex industry to girls. Our new report with Collective Shout

Wasn’t collective shout those annoying Christian busybodies who were trying to force Steam to take down games they didn’t like?

Yes, Collective Shout applied pressure to payment processors including PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard to implement stricter rules on video game content they would allow transactions on. This lead to Steam removing several adult games from their storefront.

Steam's rule change:

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

Christians are constantly dressing up their moralizing anti-sex, misogynistic control in faux-feminist language and selling it to liberals. They're very good at dressing it up too and using academic language, appealing pleas and dramatic claims. It keeps on working. Maybe because they were early adopters of psychology to better understand how to break people to indoctrinate them into their religion.
