Goodbye itch.io
(Thanks rastha for the link)

Steam has also started doing this.
Don't understand how these big companies are letting this dumb shit group bully them into shit.

There are literally 1000 other issues that this group could be worried about. Solving real life problems, stopping human trafficking or going after women sexualizing themselves on only fans. Yet their more worried about women being sexualized in a video game.

the funniest thing is the feminist group responsible for this censoreship are avid defenders of netflix's cuties, literal softcore **

 

[looker12]

Those aren't feminist groups, they are far right and religious groups posing as being concerned feminists et similia. The connection are well documented, that australian group is in fact connected to the authors of project 2025.

They are feminist, Christians couldn't give two fucks about consent. Jesus is literally a rapebaby.

So. Again just to clarify. I don't give two fucks who the actual group belongs to.
The issue isn't which side their from, it's what their doing. But thanks for the clarification.
Either way when it hits patreon or other platforms I have a feeling the adult game industry is fixing to take a nose dive for people who aren't doing free work.

Ah yes, those feminists that hate women, think they're inferior to men and believe they should be brood mares locked in kitchens forever. Feminists! Certain wings of feminism have problematic histories, but these "feminist" groups that work with fascists sure have a weird definition of feminism. It's a smart move to frame yourself like this because hatred of women is one of the main motivating factors in politics right now.

Here's my 2 cents:
1) Digging deeper, it does seem like the "feminism" in this Collective Shout group is just a front.
2) That said, if you need an example of an actual feminist who ruined games, look no further than the biggest one: Anita Sarkeesian. She's most of the reason why we are deep into the age of fugly female characters in video games, and why every remake is toned down for "modern audiences". Also, the social media rage from actual woke feminists every time a game launches with a sexy female character (Stellar Blade just to name one).

So excuse us for thinking those were feminists, because they've been campaigning against sexy in games, exactly like those fundamentalists.

At least now we know where the moderators stand.

Gunna gunna gunna! I keep hearing how the conservatives are gunna jump into the censorship game, but its only been feminist censorship that has had any success.

I hope nothing happens. Nothing better than coming home after a long day of work, getting high and playing the skin flute for a bit.

This radical group of activist women hate men and want to destroy male dominated hobbies and spaces, for profit of course. Who knows if they actually care about any of this, it's money, power and future jobs for their friends. Don't get distracted by the labels, look at their history and their own words. Too many people get fixating on them being feminists, or that they share some Christian views. If you want to know more about what is actually going on follow Madam Savvy on

. She has some very in depth coverage. She's like an autistic detective and has a vested interest in this group and how they are trying to ruin adult fiction for everyone.

Sending this to some peeps. The best thing to do is to bring about collective action to reject this. And basically tell payment processors that these groups were panicking over nothing and that as a consumer, what I do with my credit card is not any of your business

No they hate anything that is sex positive. They are a Puritian group that hates both men and women. As they have targeted female spaces, LGBT spaces. This affects everyone do not make it a 'male' or 'female' divide but a group of radicalism who are disguising themselves to be against child exploitation, when in reality they aren't. They have always been for censorship of speech.

 

[Adoringfan]

Not here to argue in these troubling times. If anyone wants to know more Savvy just posted a very detailed timeline. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Just for some historical context. This is not new at all. As far as i remember this started in 2007. Bestiality "Video sites" were taken offline by credit card companies. Later they moved to fictional content like Erotic eBooks

. Than a few years later individual artists also got banned on Patreon for producing animated or drawn "fringe sexual content" the reason was the same: Credit card company pressure.

To my eyes at least, this was something that was always happening. Just in the background silently. So I'm not sure if Collective Shout really is the perpetrator or the fall guy/girl in this case. In the past everything started and ended with the credit card company's decisions.

Good point. The bestiality thing was breaking the law in many places, at least stateside and later on many countries did write laws if they didn't have them already on the books, about animal abuse and stuff, but that is a good example of credit card companies asserting their power. I think many people just turn a blind eye if it's content they don't consume and it's only when it's something that they enjoy that it suddenly becomes an issue and by then it's too late. CS is the tip of the spear in this situation, even if they are the ones being used by Visa/Mastercard.
