Because you have allowed the social discourse to be dominated by authoritarians, and have not supported the voices of your fellows that fight against fascism, you are now being overrun by fascists.

Enjoy. You have no one to blame but yourselves.

"All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight," Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted

Ah, so this was a rational, scientific study-based campaign centered around ensuring the health and well-being of society, and not at all an emotionally-charged crusade to take material away from people you find repulsive based on content you personally object to. Got it.

Melinda speaks like she's on 4chan

There's a lot of overlap between the most terminally online "rad"""fem""s and kiwifarmers, so there's also a nonzero chance you're right.

"All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight," Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted on July 18th.

She sounds deranged.

i wonder what her own perversion is. It's likely quite disturbing - nobody has that much anger and scorn over other people's sex lives and a healthy sex life of their own.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think she just told us what her thing is, "rape my little sister incest games"

[-] WatDabney@fedia.io 30 points 1 week ago

I did think her use of a first person pronoun there was a bit odd, but I didn't put that together. You might be onto something.

"Pro life feminist"

I give my left leg if this is not another TERF group

Surprising absolutely nobody, you're spot on.

People thinking porn addiction causes all the problems in society, must be a day ending in Y.

Alright, time to research and rat these idiots out. The fact that they tried to ban Detroit: Become Human is enough for me to know that they're not gamers at all and are just cookers.

https://www.gameshub.com/news/article/australian-anti-porn-group-collective-shout-escalates-its-war-for-video-game-censorship-2736180

Collective Shout is a self-described feminist non-partisan organization, but has alleged ties with anti-trans and conservative organizations. The group has developed a reputation as a sort of puritan crusade that targets everything from Detroit: Become Human to Tyler, the Creator.

This one quote tells me what kind of people Collective Shout are. First, Collective Shout will go after the low hanging fruit and then will move to LGBT themed games.

It's a hate group and Valve is caving to them.

[-] kshade@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That would mean that they actually are responsible. I don't think that's correct, at best they complained to payment processors to make them enforce their pre-existing bullshit rules. That's where the problem lies IMO, those corporations should not be allowed to ban paying for legal goods and services, especially since they have formed a cartel.

I'm sure if you dig deep enough into the people involved you'll crawl out with a couple pedos, a few rapists, and more than likely some dudes who are into some really kinky shit.

it's always the case, always. whenever there are groups like this pushing their agenda they're secretly trying to justify themselves.

"Our (winning!) campaign calling on payment processors including Visa and Mastercard to stop processing payments for rape and incest games available on Steam and other platforms has received global media attention."

Well that is not what I was expecting to find on their site...

[-] Aussieiuszko@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago

Did no one play "Detroit Become Incestual Rapist"?

All I wanna know is how fucked up and perverted the porn that they watch is. Anyone taking this hard of a stand against something surely must be projecting.

Lowkey opening up a market for an adult game store that takes crypto for payment

Funny to see this posted by a user named "Incel migrant". 😄

EDIT: Do you guys not get a joke? Maybe it wasn't that good, but still...

I'm just happy that for once it's not one of us Americans ruining things for everyone. Still part of the anglosphere, though, so not surprised.

[-] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 week ago

This group is shooting for very easy targets and they celebrate like they've won hard battles. It's self indulgent but ultimately unimportant, nothing of value was lost here. If they keep it up long enough and choose a target people are actually willing to fight for, things might turn out differently.

Every accusation is a confession for these sex-negative types. The guy who shrieks the loudest about gender non-conforming people being abominable and vile is usually found 6 months later in Thailand smoking hash and hiring kathoey escorts.

Simple fix is to call in suspicion of child porn on their computers. Their statement look a lot like projection to me.

"Australian anti-porn group has too much power."

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 17 points 1 week ago

It'd be kind of funny if some rep from steam just came out and said, 'Wait, the Aussies wanted this? Put it all back! Add on a few more new ones even. This won't stand.'

[-] chrislowles@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

I don't know how Collective Shout aren't seen as more of a pariah group here like Westboro Baptist Church are in America.

That's a very bad and weird choice of words. Other than that, banning rape-games is not a bad idea, especially from mainstream platforms, though i guess it's not the biggest problem for women's rights right now.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago

They want things to be like public restrooms in the 60-80s again.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I had a look at their website.

They have campaigned against games that normalize incest and sexual abuse. The first campaign, that led to this one, was against a game called No mercy.

The description, according to their website, is:

In this game, you’ll either become every woman’s worst nightmare… or rather: the best dick they'll ever have. Your goal is simple: leave no pussy non-fucked, since that's the only thing they all want. Never take 'no' for an answer.

Fuck your mom, fuck your auntie, and even fuck your friend’s mom. Why not?

Take what’s yours and show No Mercy.

Following that they campaigned against other games promoting sexual violence and incest.

Following our successful campaign and 70k petition to get rape simulation game No Mercy pulled from gaming platform Steam, we discovered almost 500 other games depicting rape, incest, sexual torture and child abuse.

How is this a bad thing? Do you lot just hear anti-porn and start foaming around your mouth?

[-] eRac@lemmings.world 27 points 1 week ago

Targeting payment processors to force change within a business often leads to overreaction. That's how we got Onlyfans announcing that it was banning porn entirely. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal become quite unreasonable when these groups start gaining traction.

This same group pushed to get Detroit: Become Human pulled because it has the player controlling a victim of abuse protecting another victim. There is zero nuance to their target choices. If they get pull with payment processors, they can go "this is a child abuse simulator!" and get something like that pulled with less public support behind them.

Do you have trouble differentiating between fiction and reality?

Can I demand racing games be banned because they promote CO2 emissions?
