Ah, I thought it was strange for the payment processing companies to come out of nowhere.

Them being pressured by conservative prudish assholes masquerading as concerned feminists makes more sense.

    HuniePop is a comedic masterpiece I will actually be upset about if it's disappeared.

    This group is nuts. Wanting to ban Detroit Become Human because it depicts child abuse is completely insane. That's like solving sex trafficking by making it illegal to mention it.

    Doubt they want to solve it. More like make it out of sight, out of mind.

    This is exactly their goal. They don't wanna solve it. They don't want to make things better. They just want it to not be talked about or discussed or thought about. It's the same as your landlord painting over a patch of black mold.

    I mean, their leader is literally under fire for saying the Epstein files never existed and people should just stop talking about it. Making it illegal to even mention sex trafficking is the next logical step to protect the Dear Leader, because lord knows tackling the real issues wouldn't end well for him.

    It's actually a more ideologically consistent position than most reactionary groups. They want to be able to keep diddling kids while everyone shuts up about it and the queers get shoved in concentration camps. Now that's a Good Traditional Christian Nation babyyyyyy

    Is there no aspect of life that isn't being completely shit upon and ruined by conservatives?

    Why does every logo have to be called an asshole now?

    Its a star shaped opening in a pink ring. Have you never seen an asshole?

    Yeah there is no way I'd think "asterisk" with that logo, especially with an organization that is anti-everything in human sexuality. Aside from the one thing I'd agree with but they don't seem to actually be interested in stopping.

    To be honest, when this story first appeared especially with Valve being the ones to announce the censorship, I thought it was sort of a nothing burger with Valve (Gave Newell having libertarian values) being pissed that someone has control over what they can sell on their store or not.

    I also personally believe in the past 5-10 years that there is so much adult content and so much gateways to adult content in non adult content spaces that I personally feel something needs to be done about it.

    But after seeing the group behind it, it's basically the opposite extreme. We should be able to talk about sex and sexuality, and have media that dives into these topics without some of the extreme fetishism that is on the internet (e.g. cuckoldry, gooning).

    While I feel conflicted about these games being on an extremely popular pc gaming store, the people who are trying to get it removed aren't helping - they are the problem by being so extreme in their views of sex and sexuality themselves.

    Is Detroit: Become Human on the list of removed titles (that's where the screenshot is from).

    The game does deal with themes like child and spousal abuse, and has a part with a same sex couple, so it fits these fascists' MO.

    If so, ridiculous. However, I kind of hope they do go after some bigger games so people get pissed.

    Well, that's new: usually when I need the archived article it's because the original was paywalled, but this time the original seems to have been deleted completely. Is Vice getting censored too now?

    The author posted three articles involving Collective Shout. The only one that didn't get removed replaces most of the detailing on Collective Shout with narration of the now-endangered benefits of "we both roleplay as giant women who consume our viewers".

    Why is there an Animal Crossing video attached to this? Also, what happened to the original article, did they delete it?
