Because we, as a society, have standards on what is or is not acceptable. Would you like to see on the shelf of your local library? Would you like to see video games that glorify genocide or race wars platformed on Steam?
Of course not.

This will only work temporarily tho, but it seems X is already getting pushback from frustrated users so it will probably be a matter of time before the restrictions are removed.
They're supposed to be ironing out their age verification process right now. But if any gooners can't wait a day or more, there's the temporary solution XD

Cool, so you're on board with CSAM being available then?
Lemme know.
Oh, you are moving the Goal Posts. Cool. But ok. And please if we go there, call it Documented Child abuse.
Heavy topic and unpopular, but yes I'm actually ok with not persecuting the people taking part in such material. It might keep them from actually laying hands on a real child.
The creators of such material should be persecuted in any way shape and form. I never said that Neo Nazis should not be responsible for what they pour out. But yeah even that diatribe should be available to an educated public.

textbook example of people who cloak censorship and control in the language of feminism: right-wing – anti-sex – anti-trans – pro-censorship – pearl-clutching – fearmongering – moral panic merchant – conservative feminist – smug media pundit – obsessed with controlling women’s choices – and actively harmful.


From her :



“Spinifex Press held anti‑trans events.”
“The group attempted to have Tyler, the Creator’s Australian visa revoked and his shows canceled.”
“They later campaigned for Eminem to be banned from Australia.”
“Collective Shout led a successful campaign... as well as the removal of multiple Steam games allegedly depicting rape, incest, and child abuse.”
“The group also called on itch.io to remove various games tagged as dating sims or LGBTQ+.”
“Consume Me... commented that ‘the position of these right-wing groups is often that ANY LGBTQ+ content is ‘adult’ by default’.”
“The group had retweeted a trans‑exclusionary radical feminist who claimed that ‘pervert nerds are responsible for most of society’s ills’.”
“Collective Shout successfully pressured VICE to delete several articles related to sex work and LGBTQ+ topics.”
“She publicly praised Cuties, calling it ‘a powerful statement’ that highlights the pressures on girls to ‘sexualise’ themselves.”
Collective Shout also doubled down on defending Cuties, even while other child protection groups condemned it for exploitative content.
“She was the founding director of Women’s Forum Australia... described in Women’s Studies International Forum as an ‘anti-abortion lobby’.”
“She describes herself as ‘an advocate for women and girls’ and a ‘pro-life feminist’.”

Oh no, opinion invalidated!!!!!

Yes indeed, just like that. You people should learn how to leave the rest alone and live your lives instead of coming here to tell us what we can and can't play. Like, who are you? Who told you to teaches us what's good and what's bad in these games? And, Who sent you here? How did you got here?

Yes I would. Freedom requires shit like that to be available. In the end you either have an educated society knowing that this shit is shit. Or what we have now, Idiots with rampant conspiracy theories voting for idiots that they think will free them of whatever imaginary choke they believe in.
While i don't want to get political at this point you can ask yourself the question whether any form of media isn't telling some kind nonsense, are they telling the truth are the mixing in lies or somethings they mention outright lies.
But i don't think that's the problem here.
The problem is the increasing censorship that we are seeing everywhere right now it's the games we play but it's not just that i also here sex workers are hit by the same payments services.

And if you look a bit further for example Youtube a few years ago could use swear words but no they constantly need to worry about being demonetized and it's not just for swear words it's even normal words now i have seen videos censoring words like murder or assault one even went as for to censor the word blood.

I find this a very disturbing development this is getting out of hand and it might even get dangerous.
I also wonder how this will affect organisations that are trying to help victims of violence or sexual assaults, how are they going to reach those victims.
What about the victims themselves how are they going to speak out how are they going to recieve help?

Who the fuck is truly harmed by adult games featuring incest? I enjoy brother-sister incest themes, it does not imply that I have any desire to fuck my non-existent sister. So yes, it's just a fantasy dumbass.

Naw, homie.
My point is to illustrate that there will ALWAYS be lines on what is and is not acceptable to publish in game/literate/video/etc form. This is undeniable. All that's left is arguing over where the line is drawn. And some people drew that line at rape/incest and now some (weird) people are upset.

So let them publish their hate but also... what? Extrajudicial action? What are you implying here?

The irony is that I've been on the internet longer than you've been alive.
No Homie. You moved the goal post from Nazi speech to Child abuse.
But still.....ok. Why would you need Extrajudicial action? If the Topic is against current laws well uh persecute them on this ?
If not. Tough shit I guess.
Longer than than 40 years ? I bow to you then, does not change anything I say though.

Real talk, do you know why people are against **********? Because a child is not mature enough to make a decision that they want a sexual relationship. The act of creating that kind of porn requires victimizing an innocent person. This is the same reason why people don't like the idea of transgender operations for minors, their lack of life experience and dependency on adults makes them easily groomed into life altering decisions they wouldn't independently choose. Someone writing a book on the other hand does not cause damage to anyone. Expression of thought without criminal action backing it is protected by free speech. This is also why no one cares what happens to imaginary characters such as in eroge. There aren't real victims created in the production of a drawing. If you cannot support the speech of people you hate then you do not support free speech.

Typically speaking, the people who spend so much time harping that they are against Nazis tend to support Neo-Nazis in Ukraine, socialism (including Hitler's concepts of stimulating the economy with infrastructure projects and increased minimum wage), utilize kristallnacht style rioting tactics when their political stances become unpopular, and constantly promote increased government regulation as the solutions to problems. Ironically when people justify erasing free speech because of the possibility of nazi propaganda, they are doing EXACTLY what the nazis did, using the EXACT same arguments Hitler's regime made for why that kind of censorship was "necessary".

This correlates well with Collective Shout. For all their preaching about wanting to stop depictions of sexual exploitation of children, they made stances justifying Cuties and criticizing Trump's closed border stances. They really don't care about preventing victims, that's just their virtue signal so people will stop bashing them.

Violence is ok but sexual things aren't?
Well they're anti-violent things too. Long before they turned their eyes towards sexual content, there were already decades of global action against civilians owning weapons and limiting what is construed as self defense. In most countries around the world a person who defends themselves against a criminal will get more prison time than the criminal.

Even here in the land of cheeseburgers and guns, we had stuff like Operation Chokepoint with payment processors trying to shut down website hosters to gun stores/forums, and associated transactions.

They kind of lost that war due to CAM such as 3D printing though. 3D printed weapons are good enough that they are used in every major conflict in the world today in some form. Eroge needs to undergo a similar revolution of self sufficiency. Personally I think crypto currency is that answer. We already have a lot of options for distribution of the games, once an alternative payment is established they really can't cancel anyone that easily. F95 and similar sites are already good for indexing and finding new games. Frankly better than Itch IMO.

Who the fuck is "you people"?
That's some anti-semitic shit right there. Just as I expected, tbh.
I wish this group that arranged this was anti semitic, have you seen what happened to Kanye West after he started saying bad things about the Jewish community?
If this group was really anti semitic this thread wouldn't exist.
