Dicklittles temporarily set back Steam and Itch

by fibs

Hello dreamers.

Collective Shout has successfully bullied Steam (less effectively) and Itch (more effectively) into censoring the NSFW content available on their platforms.

In the case of Steam, only a few dozen games were affected, most of them themed on incest and most of them of very low quality.

In the case of Itch, all NSFW games have temporarily been deindexed - they don't appear on searches etc. Shadowbanned, basically. They are apparently planning to vet each and every goddamn game on the platform and reindex all the ones that are not removed for specific no-nos.

Reports indicate that one of the game categories subject to removal is M/M gay content. Homophobes (who largely overlap with misogynists) think of gayness as depraved "hardcore porn" and think they're out to groom children.

Please note that virtually all antis turn out to be child predators and I don't see Collective Shout being any different.

I have a hard time believing that Collective Shout is responsible (even if they claim to be), considering that they're a small Australian group (making them a minority within a minority), and it's ultimately the credit card and payment processor companies that pulled the trigger.

Valve is also at fault bending the knee instead of fighting back. They have more than enough money to take them to court.

The thing is that they're be an investigation for this for that court case, and anything that is illegal that shows up in said investigation, in US law, has it seconded to the proper department. That's why payment processors are being cagey, they know that they're liable for any illegal activities that has them as an intermediary.

That and we're not in Kansas anymore, not with memetic warfare being so god-damned effective.

If that were true, credit card companies would be impacted by nearly every school shooting. And what "illegal activities" could there possibly be in PC games? I'm pretty sure if there were digitized cp, people would've found them already.

... for school shootings, the reality is that credit cards are less likely to be used to buy the weapons. Most weapons used in shootings are either stolen or paid via cash last I've checked.

The US currently has a bill in the works (S401) to force financial institutions to allow transactions with their service they normally wouldn't. The immediate impetus for this is to prevent them from blocking gun purchases. This implies that they are, or think they are, very much negatively affected by gun violence in general, if not school shootings specifically.
