Absolutely disgusting. The girls who were raped were incredibly brave with speaking out and taking this pedo to court.

She said initially she thought she was to blame but now understood "none of it is my fault".

I've known rape victims and this is such a common theme with them. It is never the victims fault, but unfortunately the first thing a victim goes through is "what could I have done to avoid this?" instead of "why did this POS not respect my basic boundaries"

    Honestly that would seem like the most common sense idea that anyone would/could draw up from this, and for the most part I think this is what the gov is trying to do.

    I think there's an unstated side effect from the Online Safety Act which nobody seems to be talking about - using the new powers to effectively censor Palestinian protests online.

    I've genuinely never felt so depressed about voting in this government in my entire life. Actual gross dystopian bullshit.

    I know others are like "oh well, anyway" but I remembered playing and enjoying bf3. I've avoided the other titles because of military FPS shooter fatigue.

    Now though I'm almost desperate to have something that isn't souls like, but EA has to be EA. It's a shame, because I would've been up for paying the stupid amounts of money they normally charge to experience BF6.

    I do have a PS5, but I don't have the monthly subscription (paying for online multiplayer is a mugs game), so I just simply won't buy BF6.

    I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I've ironically exposed myself to more porn games.

    Before I wouldn't imagine playing porn games. Ever since the itch unban, I've tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I've paid for the full version on Patreon. And now I've got these games on my gog library.

    If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.

    Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?

    I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I've just never had a service go "we can't show you content. No, don't tell us your age, we'll work it out from the data we've collected from you".

    That's a whole new one for me, I must admit.
