Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there
-
Porn is definitely unhealthy so probably a good thing they got that on steam now? Though that still won’t stop people from going to other sites to get porn games. I wouldn’t go as far as calling them pedos though, porn addiction doesn’t make one a pedo. It does make them sad and lonely though.
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.

“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”?

Australia is also the same place where they had to switch the word “drugs” out with “chems” in Fallout, and video games have to have green blood. That whole place is ass backwards and upside down, as one would expect given its geographical location.
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”

Is it projection again?
Yup something tells me they like trump

The US is filled with gun crazy bigoted nut bags who love to go around bathrooms for genital inspections while crying at the sight of any rainbow flag.
See how unhelpful it is to make shitty generalisations?
Not really - seems like a pretty accurate description

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.

True, but I was a child and was not old enough to remember how strict the Australian classification rules for video games were back then.

Correlation does not equal causation. Also if you really think women undressing and doing porn for the pleasure of the men is somehow liberating of makes them free, I don’t think you actually care about women as people. So many of them end up doing this kind of thing because they need money and stuff and never wanted to do it in the first place.

Looking at porn doesn’t mean you have a porn addiction. It’s also not unhealthy. Playing a porn game also doesn’t mean you have a porn addiction. It’s only an addiction if it affects your life negatively. Porn gives one pleasure and more pleasure is objectively a good thing, unless it affects you in a bad way, like certain kinds of drugs.
It is unhealthy. Not only does it make it so people have unrealistic expectation in bed (due to watching porn and thinking it should be the same) but also there are always victims in porn and the porn industry is full of human trafficking and minors showing up in porn is not uncommon on porn sites. It’s just damaging to society and no, pleasure is not objectively a good thing. Just because something gives one pleasure doesn’t make it good or even healthy. Life is not all about hedonism.
