This whole thing smacks of the "anyone who has a sexual proclivity I claim not to share must have all sexual proclivities I claim not to share" logic. i.e. the logic that got gay people flagged as child molesters back in the bad old days. And occasionally still today.

Such logic might actually be rooted in projection, which is a deeply disturbing thought. Deeply closeted people desperately clinging to heteronormativity and traditional gender roles because they think that if they don't they they'll do something abhorrent. Maybe even to someone who can't consent. Or they already have and they desperately want to hide away from it.

Yes, for the love of all that's holy and secular too, ban the games with apparent child sexual abuse. Children can't consent. Leave everything else the hell alone.

I don't even play video games with sexual themes, but I do play ones that contain 18+ violence. I assume those will be next on the chopping block.

Digital violence causes school shootings, don't you know? Ignore the non-American rates, they don't matter.

Thanks for saying it. What kind of fucking parent puts their kids on display in an event that will invite actual pedophiles to start actual concoctions that would cause permanent harm on them? Ah, but fictitious media that may actually help keep those urges in check needs to be removed.

And then there's the bullshit thought that a service that serves as a replacement for cash transactions can decide what I buy?

I need to get off of this fucking world.

The best part is that for the article Valve supplied a picture of Blue Scout standing speechless in front of pornographic pictures of his mom, as the punch line of one of the best "your mom" jokes of all time.

"pornography starring your mother"

I expect this group is rife with paedos.

Their co-founder literally praised Cuties, so...

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They support Cuties & Germaine Greer who wrote The beautiful boy

Tbh, its only a matter of time before the entire organization gets doxxed and the internet does what it does.

I look forward to eating popcorn when it happens.

[–] kerntucky@infosec.pub 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just saw a comment yesterday with all their names and roles in the org. I think there were email addresses too.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

My popcorn was enjoyable. I mixed in some cheez its.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Turns out some of them are probably kid diddlers

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Which ones? Spill the beans.

No hate like christian love.

Someone should check this groups computer ls and closets because they are projecting and those fuckers should have no impact on what us Americans or any other country wants to buy. This needs to be reversed Asap.

There's a few groups like this in Australia, unfortunately.

Australia didn't even have an R18+ rating for games until 2013 (R18+ is similar to AO or NC-17 in the USA). Before then, all games with a higher rating than MA15+ were illegal in Australia. Many games had an Australia-specific version with blood/gore reduced, some things edited out, etc. to reduce the rating. The original release of GTA4 in Australia was heavily censored.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oml, trying to ban Eminem and Snoop Dogg from Australia? Really? Fuck did Eminem actually do in the last 15 years? Snoop, never really listened to him, can't think of anything he did (in relation to women). They managed to stop Tyler, the Creator from touring in 2015? They're doing the dumbest shit. Going after sexualization of women isn't going to help any actual problems. Pathetic.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Judging from their description ("pro-life feminists") I bet they're using objectification as a cover to push their regressive ideals. When it comes to rap there's a disproportionate amount of hate towards it from these people, could be as simple as that.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course. I've listened to quite a bit of Eminem, more than is reasonable. There's like 5 songs that I'd say were actually that crazy, mostly about his wife, and mostly 20+ years ago. I'd say it's probably something to do with racism, actually hating rap usually does.

The amount of times I've seen Eminem counted as a black artist isn't common enough to be depressing, but it's alarmingly more than 0.

Aren't these the same people with links to Purity Ring ceremonies?

Man, what the hell did they have against Detroit: Become Human? 🤨

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It's got a kid robot in it that's abused. Not sexually afaik. But it's definitely not pornographic, it's literally the driving force of one of the plotlines and causes an android to rebel and kill it's owner - the abuser.

Let me repeat: the game is literally so anti-child-abuse - it makes the plot happen.

This whole thing is so stupid. You give these types of people an inch they take a mile.

I'd say that it's overrated and a bit mid. But I also have the ability to judge such things unlike the profligates pushing for such bans, who I would only take their opinions into account while lashing them to a cross. Just one cross mind you, I have patience and am not going to waste energy building more than one the anticipation for their crucifixions will drive despair.
