Collective shout seems to have expanded its scope: games like cult classic Fear And Hunger have been removed from Itch.io, while horror game VILE: Exhumed has been delisted from Steam just a week after launch.

One thing I'm hearing a lot of is that this is a Christian lobby group. I did not see obvious signs of that on their website, though some of the language felt like an intentional alternative to how I (social worker) would discuss issues of women's empowerment. Like they were holding space to later include "LGBTQ+" in their definition of problematic content. I am more than willing to believe an activist group from that demographic would lie to push their true agenda. Who has a good news source discussing their ideology?

The founder is a well-known Christian "pro-life feminist" from Australia.

She was the founding director of Women's Forum Australia, [...]  It also promotes a trans-exclusionary ideology and campaigns against transgender rights.

Right so assuming she's not Lesbian, then her being anti-LGBTQ+ is a safe bet. If she somehow is Lesbian, she's going to be anti-BTQ+ at the very least.

Pro life feminist is an oxymoron

So she's savvy with her words so people don't recognize the true anti-gay crusade. A true wolf in bitch's clothing.
