Yeah it's called The Bible.I'm pretty sure rape and incest in a novel you can buy in bookshelf is not illegal.

I agree with dartred. In that line of reasoning: murder, illicit drug use, adultery, and grand theft auto often occur in all forms of entertainment media one can possibly consume. Illegal activities of all sorts are often compelling subject matter, and they are allowed to be sold and consumed in fiction. If one doesn't like those subjects, they don't buy those products, it's really that simple.I'm pretty sure rape and incest in a novel you can buy in bookshelf is not illegal.
Right but add some pictures and it goes from legal to illegal.I'm pretty sure rape and incest in a novel you can buy in bookshelf is not illegal.
Game of thrones was full of incest and rape and that shit was on tv.Right but add some pictures and it goes from legal to illegal.
But it was a major Network so it's perfectly fine.Game of thrones was full of incest and rape and that shit was on tv.
I know its not the same but theres a couple of country who believes games/movies could make someone more violent, here in Brasil happens pretty often when they found the criminals also like to play games, i think those company its just overprotective, and who knows what you can or can not do in other countrys, i dont agree with those rules but i think that would be an excuse for them.But isn't committing something very different to telling a story story about it? I mean, with that point writing crime stories would be forbidden, too, because someone gets murdered in the story, which is also a crime.
Besides being two people without any blood relationship, in games, its just a bunch of pixels who could become anything, even two people from the same family, to be honest, i think patreon and payment companies should explain that but thats probably never going to happen.But it was a major Network so it's perfectly fine.
Maybe I'll say bullshit, but if the problem is born for what if, why WWG doesn't continue the main story on patreon, and use F95 to publish the what if series?once CH 10 gets releases, it "should" be smooth sailings. He won't be asked to fix any past chapters and he will be careful how he words going forward. So something like this shouldn't happen again. Shame too, because the what ifs can't be as dark as some of us would have wanted them, but it's better then closing up shop.
And the US is probably number 1 on the list of Countries with that mindset. it's what happens when our Law makers are old to remember when PONG first came outI know its not the same but theres a couple of country who believes games/movies could make someone more violent, here in Brasil happens pretty often when they found the criminals also like to play games, i think those company its just overprotective, and who knows what you can or can not do in other countrys, i dont agree with those rules but i think that would be an excuse for them.
One solution could be, making the what if stuff exclusive to another platform like subscribestar. There are devs that release their games on patreon and uncensored versions of the same game on subscribestar and they don't seem to have any issues.Patreon wouldn't allow that. What ifs are a tier reward and it's not allowed to break the rules even if it's handed out, outside of patreon.
also, how would be manage it? who would not get to choose and vote for which what if is being created? If voting takes place here, we'll get interference from people who aren't pledged.
If voting takes place on patreon, then it goes back to the first part about not being allowed to hand it out if it would break rules.
WWG can't be associated with it in anyway, if it breaks rules.
And here I was thinking of making a whole list of books like Lolita and Flowers In the Attic. The Bible has everything!Yeah it's called The Bible.
Not to mention that a LOT of action movie heroes are technically illegally operating vigilantes and therefore murderers. Even John McClain was outside his jurisdiction. Dude killed what, like 8 people in one night? Hell, that's nothing. The Punisher is a straight-up serial killer. I root for him every time, but I can't argue that the dude has murdered more people than every real world serial killer combined, by the roomful.I agree with dartred.

And it's not like WWG games and PV are mainstream production studios/games involved in high profile advertising campaigns. It's all make believe and part of a relatively obscure niche interest/market. Technically it is not even a matter of free speech either. One (WWG) is free to create such games/stories (in America at least), but when it comes to economic support that is a different subject. Ultimately, regardless of subject matter, these platforms (PayPal/Patreon) are companies that are free to do business with, and not do business with, whoever they wish, regardless of the content.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone was irked by WWG's success and reported the content just to illicit the "eye of censorship" from Patreon out of some jealousy or other ill-will. Hopefully it's just a paranoid thought, and ultimately it cannot be proven or disproven. Just speculation, but there are other Patreon supported games that include far more taboo, or more obviously taboo content than PV. As long as no one complains, those devs tend to do business unmolested. But once you get that eye on you then good luck.
For some time I have been practicing with DAZ and RPG maker because I too would like to start creating content that can also be shared on F95, and maybe make it more of a hobby, but honestly, seeing the work of WWG, which risked losing out due to an update of the patreon rules, it made me pass inspiration xDOne solution could be, making the what if stuff exclusive to another platform like subscribestar.

I mean you can avoid patreon completely and have your game on other platforms like subscribestar. I think for people that are starting right now, subscribestar is probably the best option because, at least for now they aren't censoring anyone.For some time I have been practicing with DAZ and RPG maker because I too would like to start creating content that can also be shared on F95, and maybe make it more of a hobby, but honestly, seeing the work of WWG, which risked losing out due to an update of the patreon rules, it made me pass inspiration xD
There wouldnt be "A song of ice and fire" (GoT) with PatreonI'm pretty sure rape and incest in a novel you can buy in bookshelf is not illegal.
