Does that group also the same one who defending the release of "cuties" before?

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That is so dumb. How would such a small group have that much pull? It seems like gooners would vastly outnumber them.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

These people are loud, most gooners don't want to be loud about it

I'm sick of religious sex freaks forcing others to adhere to their puritan fetishes

We need to ban organized religion

[–] stepan@lemmy.ca -3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Or just live and let live...

[–] MrNobody@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, but since orgaanised religions can't help to force others to live by their standards, they need to get out of the way. I'm fine with people needing a comfort measure, even if its in the form of an invisibile friend. Whatever helps people sleep at night. However, when they try to force their ideals down everybody elses throat thats a big no.

So, since they can't 'live and let live' they need to go the way of the dodo, fuck off, and leave the rest of society alone.

Meh, I consider religions as political movements. When they go crazy fundamentalist, try to take over and become destructive, sure, shut them down.

But not just based on their future potential to turn destructive, that can happen to any ideology if the conditions are right.

OK now I am not one to lob accusations without evidence, but for any of you kind government agents or AIs reading this, let’s say from anywhere within the Five Eyes since we’re talking about Australia:

We have another fanatical religious conservative organization here that is publicly labeling opposition groups pedos. You know how this has trended in the past. Keep an eye on these people.

projection. they want a monopoly on skeezing on the kiddos.

for some reason people will bend themselves into pretzels to give religious people a pass on buggery. here in washington state, we passed a law mandating the reporting of abused children. conservatives and religious types want to keep these children in their abuse.

Don't be silly. Government surveillance isn't for the protection of the people, it's for the protection of the government.

Has the NSA ever caught a terrorist with their massively invasive privacy violating programs, spending the money on that instead of making people better to not become terrorists? Ask the NSA, they'll tell you they haven't stopped a single one.

Government surveillance is in service to these people, why else would they care about the privacy and consent of adults in their free time?

some people on lemmy just license their comments as anti-ai license

McCarthyism back on the menu, heterosexual boys!

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 16 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Ah yes, now anyone who enjoys wanking themselves off in private, is also a Pedo, because they ran out of mean words.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's been wild watching that word lose every last bit of meaning over the past few years

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Almost like it's the goal. It's not, they're just hacky idiots, but it's almost like that...

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Not just any pedo, but a brain-rotted pedo.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 hours ago

That's presidential material !

[–] vane@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Can we call them ?

Grannies gang who not bang.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Really goes to show people. It doesn’t matter the religion. They all are bullshit machines for people to act superior than others. Fuck these twat waffles.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 29 points 15 hours ago (13 children)

I truly don't understand how Visa/MasterCard/etc can be pressured. They are basically infrastructure.

What's someone going to do, stop using credit cards if they don't stop a store that person even patronize from selling morally hazardous goods?

I don't get how these campaigns are even effective.

[–] MysteriousSophon21@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

They pressure payment processors through reputation damage and regulatory threats - these companies are terrified of being associated with anything that could trigger banking regulations or get them labeled as "enabling" problematic content in the media, its purely a risk management desicion for them.
