It’s impressive how much people get riled up about not getting porn. I don’t blame them but I also don’t see this as activism, I doubt anyone really spending the time on this cares about possible future censorship that others who are not them may face, they just want to buy their porn.
~~I've never bought a porn game nor ever played one, but I just think it's stupid that such large companies fold to a lobby organization and start moderating the sale of products.~~ ~~Christian fundamentalist activists are persistent and organized, and it's effective. I think it's bad how a small minority is able to dictate the lives of other people and I like how people get riled up because I hope it will remind the people in charge of those large corporations that catering to extremists is a bad decision.~~
~~TLDR: Idgaf about the games, I just hate it when religious zealots dictate the lives of others.~~
EDIT: I might have been wrong about "Collective Shout" and didn't look into it enough before forming an opinion.
EDIT 2: Yeah, I don't think "Incest Daughters BDSM" deserves saving. They seem to be primarily targeting rape and incest games, and I can definitely understand that you want to see rape games gone from if you're an organisation like this. Article However, I still don't know how accurate their own article is, I might check out more sources/perspectives when I have time.
EDIT 3: My initial assessment seems to be correct, a large amount of games are affected and the “policies” seem to be enforced with a disregard for accuracy. The organization also seems to be more extreme.
There's a solid argument that most of the porn games are some form of sexual abuse. You could argue that adults should be allowed to commit fake sexual abuse but its still likely not a positive for those who consume it.
Its interesting noone here has argued for porn games, just against censorship.
Should they be allowed to commit fake physical abuse? There are a lot of "violent" video games out there as well.
People tried to ban video games that contained violence decades ago and were unsucessful. Interesting that banning sexual content is working.
Is it? Looks like it's getting a lot of pushback
I hope it's successful at changing things.
Probably not, there's a reason the US military has spent money funding call of duty games.
If you think people playing pretend has that strong of an effect on them you might want to avoid the Internet all together. So much stuff on here is significantly worse than Mario jumping on a turtle.
Will it change someone individually drastically? Probably not. Does it have an effect on society and how it views military action around the world? Apparently so.
The military spent funding researching astral projection. That doesn't mean it's a thing.
