Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[dartred]

Oh yeah, something that just happened with another creator on Patreon. They are getting rid of young LOOKING. If your character is under a certain height, certain breast size, FUCKING HEAD TO BODY RATIO (actually listed), it now goes against TOS. This is new, this creator got warned on the 1st of this month.

I also find it interesting that their

You must be registered to see the links

section for "18+ creations and mature themes" puts limits on sexual content, but doesn't have limits on (non-sexual) violent content:

"However, we have zero tolerance when it comes to the glorification of sexual violence which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of creations. Patreon reserves the right to review and remove accounts that may violate this guideline.

We also do not allow other fringe sexual fetish creations, such as incest, necrophilia, or fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex."

Does that mean one could make a game full of graphic violence and gore against women, children, and animals, and that's totally fine just as long as it's not sexual? Imagine the reaction to a dog fighting game or a school shooting game.

Well Patreon is an American company so it goes without saying that the standard American hypocrisy applies, namely that most forms of violence is okay but most forms of sexual activity is not.

Blame it on the hypocrisy of Christianity and the Church.

It's not so new as you think the Creator of Shag the Hag was trying to make a sequel years ago and Patreon threatened a violation because a female character looked too "young"

the fault lies with the false moralists

I used to, back in the '90s. "Won't somebody please think of the children!"

These days it seems to come from progressive types who think we can't tell fantasy from reality.

 

[Omegablade21]

No, one character's love interest fucking another character who isn't them is the backbone of NTR.

Sometimes this happens through force or coercion, but other times it's consensual between the characters fucking. The jealous character isn't required to "consent" to who their love interest fucks.

All I'm trying to say is while people may find NTR distasteful, it's not inherently "problematic" from Patreon's point of view.

EDIT: One thing I find especially ridiculous about Patreon's TOS is they seem to take issue with characters using hypnosis or mind control powers to have sex. As if those were real things people might be inspired to do.

True however it's often through blackmail or some other means that the character cheats in the first place. Can't remember seeing that many "animes" featuring that subject where the characters aren't either forced, drugged, blackmailed, or mind controlled into cheating. about the only possible way NTR occurs where it wouldn't be a service violation is if the character was neglected by their SO and even than rarely do they actually consensual agree to cheat.

if so then they should ban various types of movie genres especially horror movies like the chainsaw massacre lol

Can't Hollywood won't let them do it Hollywood controls the Media and the Government. but doesn't stop them from targeting Video games though. Pretty sure Politicians tried banning GTA about 3 or so times.

 

[lemonfreak]

Afaik WWG already has plans for a second game and he knows that it won't break any Patreon guideline. So for him it's worth to try to bypass all the censoring. Still, I don't really see how can you change some things in the game, mainly the whole Hunter and blackmailing stuff.
Also I may be a half empty kind of guy, but I honestly see at the very minimum a month delay. Those fucks at Patreon aren't exactly know for their work discipline.

Please remember that 'Those fucks at Patreon' are also victims of the payment processors; if they didn't ban certain content then they would lose the ability to recieve payment through PayPal, itself a victim of Visa and MasterCard. Sex Positive Gaming has a video related to this which you might want to check out

You're probably right, although there are exceptions obviously, but I wonder why consenting NTR is less common/popular? Is it because it creates anger against the cheating character, when they're a willing participant instead of a helpless victim? Does it create more shame for the main character, because of feelings of inadequacy that caused them to "lose" the one they desire?

if porn games somehow made a profit for these hypocrites i doubt they would try to ban them

Well they definitely collect a percentage of the creators' revenue, but they're weighing that against the possibility of losing support from the payment processors, and deciding it's better to lose some money than most of the money.

porn game platforms are growing more and more, I doubt they can really censor more popular genres like incest

No, they're still doing it, too. It's just that they're also really busy with making sure that gay and trans people can't be gay or trans. And once that's done, they're going to come for your porn and make you father 20 children you can't afford.

I'll take the whiny libs over fundamentalists any day.

Cause the one cheating would then be considered a slut or the one being cheated on would be seen as someone who honestly doesn't care about the relationship. It's all a power game and either one of those things wouldn't do much for a power trip. I mean you take a loving innocent wife and bend her to your will either through blackmail or other means and it leaves more of an impact then bending some female who agrees to cheating or some female who's husband has neglected her for years.

Incest was the first thing Patreon cut lol, most of the games with incest content needs patch to by pass that, like Power Vacuum.

No, there were many others that were cut at the same time, such as rape, necrophelia and bestiality, but since those are very rare (especially compared to the massive giant that is incest), I can understand why you think it's only incest.

 

[jond2760]

Well, since we're all here waiting for salvation from Patreon ToS, what have you guys been playing in the meantime?

 

[dartred]

to build up hype, i've been playing some of the what ifs. mainly WI 4 and 6. From the main game I've rewatched bad end 6 a few times. It's my favorite bad end. From the vanilla, CH 8 when Ophelia allows Sterlings idea for a boobjob to get relief for both of them, killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Other then PV, i don't really play any other games. A Family Venture did have an update recently, that was a bit entertaining, but it was only a half update and the good parts come next half.
