Some good news, wonderful. Thanks for posting.

So I shouldn't do this because my call will be ended and I will not be able to take up 25 minutes? I mean this as a genuine question, not as a snarky "gotcha!" reply to put you down for saying that. I did actually call up before, but gave up because I could not find a complaint part of the phone tree and was considering trying again with the strategy in the post, since there is a valid place in the phone tree for that to go.

I do get the comment about "if only people reacted that much against fascism," but as someone who learned about their own queerness via the internet and got their childhood homophobia destroyed by the internet? I guarantee banning all the porn games is going to inch up to the super SFW things that talk about LGBTQ+, and I'm pretty sure that 18+ topics will be redefined to "anything fascists don't like". So discussing your love for hurting those protesting the regime in violent detail is fine, but "maybe this government is bad" is now 18+ and you have to hand over a government ID to age verify. First I was not interested in sexual kink video games, so I did not speak out… This kind of restriction is already censoring protest videos. I don't know quite enough to say if this is entirely fascist but it does fit a nasty pattern fascism does often. So yes, people are showing up both for their game porn and antifascist reasons.

"Accidentally stumbling across porn" is not directly searching for it. It's being 12 and browsing DeviantArt for some nice art of video game characters and finding Sonic inflation diaper porn that was obviously drawn by someone your age or younger, judging by the art quality.

Still didn't come out traumatized or oversexed, though I did get the asexuality cheat code for that.

My friends who watch porn have always treated me respectfully. I do wonder if there is any study backing up my idea that porn is not harmful, it's refusing to talk about what is healthy and what is not in a relationship and modeling bad interactions that is harmful. (Funnily enough, the internet taught me this one too. Thank you 2010s Tumblr, and fanfic author's notes and stuff or analysis of relationships between characters mentioning how a dynamic is unhealthy. And reading parental watchdog sites explaining all the unhealthy media models your kids shouldn't watch, ignoring them and going ahead consuming it anyways, but remembering the actual "and that's unhealthy for a relationship" statements.) Or if I'm wrong and it's a mix of things and some kids can be damaged by seeing porn—don't want to discount experiences that do not reflect my own personal bubble and social circle.

I could swear there was such an add-on that was this but non-NSFW, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Okay, everyone knows guns are literal weapons. Not everyone has the time to look into things and develop an anticorporate opinion to the point simply using a service is a loaded weapon and simply using it is cause enough for "no sympathy, sucks to be you!" when they have trouble with it. Maybe this might make them change their minds eventually, but even if it doesn't… this seems a bit more blaming the victim. Get angry at the corporation, not the person who wasn't born believing corporations bad. If I fail to lock my door, that is probably unwise of me, but everyone should be more mad at the thief for stealing from me in the first place.

Ooh, a PeerTube embed… nice to see Fediverse services getting used

I find it funny that the pufferfish blows up at its own gunshot

Also asexual.

Just consider most people really like sex, and some experience it as a very intense physical want to the point it makes sense that a bad version of it is better than none at all. Sort of similar to food. Better to have bad-tasting food and at least sate your hunger than to have nothing and starve.

Although, of course, it breaks down. The comments talk about actively harmful sex people wouldn't want as well as harmful documentation; bad sex and documentation is not actually always better than no sex or no documentation. In the analogy, this would be sex that gives you an STD, or documentation that sends you running in circles and misleads you.

I've found a lot of understanding sex comes with just understanding a lot of people really really want it and experience it as a nigh-on need. Maybe liken it to some intense desires you have, things you need to be happy that you nonetheless don't need to survive. (Of course, this is a generalization, I understand not all people with sexual desires have them this intensely. Some don't need it to be happy but would sure like it a lot. And some might even get it more mildly. But for the purpose of understanding more mainstream jokes, analogies, etc. about sex…)
