Morphine was switched to Med-X (worldwide) due to refusal for classification in Australia for Fallout 3 in 2008. Fallout has used the word “chems” in every country since the start I thought.

Are you claiming that all video games have to have green blood to be sold in Australia?

Is it projection again?

it’s dumb that that’s the reason for the change…but i honestly associate that kind of fantasy language with fallout in general.

makes it feel more like a parallel world, close but not quite like our own, and helps suspension of disbelief!

overall a good change, imho, for a very dumb reason…silver linings, i guess…

so here’s the thing:

if playing these sorts of games makes you sad and lonely, that’s a problem.

but if you are already sad and lonely, and playing these sorts of games makes you feel less so, that’s a good thing.

people that say things like what you said seriously underestimate how many people in the world have trouble forming (healthy) relationships, regardless of the games the play.

the internet and computers could disappear and those people still wouldn’t be better off; they’d just have fewer options.

and that sort of thing affects lots of different kinds of people: those suffering from mental disorders like depression, autism, various trauma, other conditions that make forming relationships difficult. those with physical handicaps, having similar issues about finding partners. and more.

I’m lucky enough to be able to have largely normal relationships (when i want to, when I’m in good enough a place to give it an honest go), but when i was in the deepest pits of depression that just wasn’t an option. and i still craved some of that…so various kinds of smut filled that need quite well, temporarily.

not a great solution long term, but it is definitely a net positive for a LOT of people!

I don’t know how Collective Shout aren’t seen as more of a pariah group here like Westboro Baptist Church are in America.

Porn is definitely unhealthy

No, it’s not. Who told you that?

https://www.collectiveshout.org/ is the group.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/our_team and https://www.collectiveshout.org/collective_shout_board_members - Ensure their names and faces haunt them for every job they go for next.

“Our (winning!) campaign calling on payment processors including Visa and Mastercard to stop processing payments for rape and incest games available on Steam and other platforms has received global media attention.”

Well that is not what I was expecting to find on their site…

Did no one play “Detroit Become Incestual Rapist”?

video games have to have green blood.

This is completely untrue.

I don’t know why you couldn’t just load money into your steam wallet.

Nah I was too busy with “epstein island adventure: the trump files”

Yup something tells me they like trump

Not really - seems like a pretty accurate description

Porn is definitely unhealthy

Look at all the countries which block / ban porn.

Now look at women’s rights in those same countries.

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

They might be referring to the 90s, post Mortal Kombat.

A lot of games got blood censorship in a lot of countries.

Even before that I know some games like Contra they replaced the infected “humans” with robots.

There was a time before the R18+ classification for video games existed that some violent games were refused classification (Left 4 Dead 2 being one of the most prominent examples; the gore and dismemberment were cut out, but the blood was still red and it was trivial to restore the gore), but that stopped being an issue about 15 years ago.

That’s way after the SNES and NES era

It seems like politics is more likely to turn someone into a rapist than video games will.

I’m just happy that for once it’s not one of us Americans ruining things for everyone. Still part of the anglosphere, though, so not surprised.
