Of course theres bootlicking on the porn game forums. This is one kink worth shaming. It costs you nothing to stand in solidarity with people affected by these hits. Anyways if it's not clear download everything not nailed down.

Stop bitching about wokeness you bullied child. Wokeness doesn't own Visa or Mastercard

Im thinking the same, considering he completely ignored what I said to go after easy targets (people who are just insulting him or are misinformed) when actually presented with a compelling argument he seems to ignore it entirely or completely misinterpret a word because he couldn't argue against it like he did during the steam thread :rolleyes: oh well what can you do?

Yeah practically as everyone said already, same thing with the visa and mastercard policies. Tbh the thing that hits me the most is that they went against ALL LGBTQI+ games (some of them non-pornographic), which is something I saw coming. They are not going to stop here.

The problem in itch's case is that they were already only allowing devs to upload games and either give them away for free (and do patreon funding), or devs directly selling to customers at their own risk, but no "collect payments through itch".

In other words, adult games already didn't make itch much money for the risks involved.

not true. adult devs can collect through itch. some adult devs have gotten banned from using collected by itch. that is what happened to a bunch of nsfw devs on itch in the incident a couple of years ago.

ban rape games means we lose like 80% of all games
Click to expand...
If F95 is a good indicator,
22,389 games listed on F95
4,867 are tagged with "rape"
That's 22.17%, not 80%

Also, rape games were banned by Itch since at least September 2015. They are now just becoming more diligent about it.

Everything else you typed is subjective or misinformed.

As stated two other threads - will not have any affect on this at all. It is not what you think it is, or what someone has presented it to you as.

Can you clarify this? If not this, then what is the section specifying Payment Card Networks referring to?


SEC. 5. Payment card network.

(a) Definition.—In this section, the term “payment card network” has the meaning given the term in section 921(c) of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (

).
(b) Prohibition.—No payment card network, including a subsidiary of a payment card network, may, directly or through any agent, processor, or licensed member of the network, by contract, requirement, condition, penalty, or otherwise, prohibit or inhibit the ability of any person who is in compliance with the law, including section 8 of this Act, to obtain access to services or products of the payment card network because of political or reputational risk considerations.

Can't believe even here there are retards excusing censorship.

"It's just this little fringe thing guys it's not a big deal, it's totally not gonna snowball in to other things like it always happens trust me"

The biggest problem for me is itch getting rid of it all without warning. Bending the fucking knee to fuck over the people who were still using the site for that purpose. And just because it's against ToS doesn't mean they have to complete dicks about it. A simple "we're enforcing our rules now" would go miles better than the shitshow currently happening.
This shit will just spiral. People bitching against us and siding with this brain-dead decision are gonna be embarrassed when we can't say "peepee" without getting fucking arrested.

This bill does not do what you think it does. It has no effect on the topic at hand. One of the reasons this bill was introduced was because certain financial institutions were not offering loans, etc to firearm and ammunition manufacturers due to "high risk" assessments simply because of their field, not looking at the client individually. This would not change how banks and cc companies regulate their own business regarding certain content within the adult industry.

In the US, the "right to bear arms" is constitutionallly protected. In order to show discrimination, you have to first show you are in a protected class (race, gender, religion, etc) and then to show how you are being discriminated based upon that class. This does not apply because incest and rape content for the purposes of sexual gratification has no protected status.

I already explained it.

And so did you:
financial institutions implement controls to manage relationships commensurate with these risks associated with each customer, not a strategy of total avoidance of particular industries or categories of customers"​

incest and rape content for sexual gratification is not a particular industry nor category of customer.

Also, part of legislation research is looking at the intent of a bill's introduction and support... Not just the wording of it. See:

Good luck, but you are barking up the wrong tree with thinking this bill would do anything that would have anything to do with this topic. Your attempt to connect your advocacy to this bill does not align with the bill's intent. Again, it's about categories and classes of people and businesses - not about said content. The banks and CC companies are working with the funding and game platforms. They are not denying business to those category of businesses - those which are the clients and those which something like this bill would affect.

Especially from members of the political party who sponsored (and many co-sponsored) this bill... the party which seeks to restrict access to pornographic materials either through requiring sites use better age-verification methods or other restrictive means regarding adult content.

Have a lovely day.

Telling Steam they cannot offer adult games that have elements such as hypnosis or they would not be allowed to make use of the payment processors' services is quite clearly a dynamic that would be affected by this legislation. --- No, it would not. There is no part of this legislation that would affect what you think it would. It is not cutting out categories or classes of people / businesses without taking into consideration individual characteristics. By saying "we will process payments for adult content except certain content such as incest and rape" shows they are taking into account individual characteristics.

It's not about reading the bill narrowly. Also, it is not an act. It is only a bill. Just a bill. And it is about reading the text of the bill, the intent of the bill, and the historical context of the bill. That is a major way courts uphold or dismiss cases based upon legislation written after a bill is enacted into law.

The bill does not do nor even makes steps toward what you think it does. And yes, parts of the text of a bill once enacted can be "handwaved" as being too broad or not applicable... Courts can uphold whole legislation but state one part is too broad or too burdensome or offer other legal reasoning to do so and therefore is not enforceable. The courts do this regularly - 'upheld in one part, dismissed in one part".

And yes, if the GOP ever thought that this would allow content that they considered obscene or morally reprehensible to get through the cracks - they would either drop it like a hot potato or simply amend it before attempting passage with something about "obscenity" or "religious" exemptions. And, as we have seen with SCOTUS in the recent past - "religious" exemptions are being allowed more and more often. Even for businesses.

No, this bill doesn't do what you want it to do. Even should someone find some loophole that incest and rape content could be considered - there would be action to make it not happen. But the problem is freedom of expression is limited and part of the way it is limited is through the Miller Test - if it is considered obscene through the Miller Test - it falls outside of freedom of expression. Creating content for sexual gratification that is incest-centric or rape-centric would be tough to pass the Miller Test were it to be placed before the court.

You know what, contact Congressman Andy Barr's office - Phone: (202) 225-4706 - and ask them directly if the bill he introduced would do what you think it would do.

No, it is not. Read the bill. Read the legislative history of the bill. Read the intent of the bill from the news. It won't have any affect on what people think it would. It wouldn't even be the start in the direcition.

Thinking this bill would do what people are hoping it would do is grasping at straws. As I mention in another thread - especially not from the political party of the sponsor of this bill, the same party which continues to seek to restrict access to pornography either through legislation or through legislating that on-line services use better age-verification applications for people to access adult content.

This is honestly not the droid that people are looking for.
