Every day I grit my teeth as I'm forced to side with people who are really annoying against people who are actively dangerous

IT DO BE LIKE THAT

Just another day in the No, you're hating on this for the WRONG REASONS mines

okay I have personal reasons to hate the shit out of detroit: become human, but even I know those things are portrayed as wrong in the game lmao

christ

Not surprised to see 'Australia', they have a really hard time separating 'a thing exists in a video game' and 'a video game is glorifying and promoting this thing'.

(By which I mean the Australian government and media, not the average Australian.)

"this piece of art portrays violence that happens in real life, ban it!!!!"

crossthesky: This group specifically, Collective Shout, is behind the recent slew of payment services pressuring game services to remove NSFW and LGBT content

Uuuugh, I thought the name looked familiar

They've personally taken credit for at least some of it

It's a group centered around the protection of women against abuse, sexual or otherwise, which. Of course I can get behind in spirit

But it seems to all be to platform mass-censorship of anything they deem "offensive"

i spittake

yeah I agree with their goal in a general sense, as a woman it's a scary problem. but going after video games that are the equivalent of an r-rated movie isn't protecting women from shit

of all the reason to take issue with this game lolol

also isn't the violence against,,, a robot/android lmao

(yes yes I know in context it is meant to reflect the Real Thing but also. lol)

I mean if the robot looks like a woman I can. almost see the logic. but it's very fucking stupid

because again the game decries it lmao

every single member of collective shout should be forced to play fear and hunger 1 on the hardest difficulty for all eternity

I can't believe they are making me defend this stupid game

same, i got a complicated relationship with david cage

it's not even the grossest david cage game.....

I'm surprised they aren't going after the new naked gun movie for having an extended scene that is just raunchy sex joke after raunchy sex joke

They're primarily focused on video games it seems

Which, I guess gives them a lot of notoriety if they try attacking Valve, for instance

they fully support the artistic integrity of cuties though

and the right of female teachers to rape their male students

not joking btw

are you fucking serious

why am I not surprised, god

also the citation on them somehow acknowledging the nuance and intent behind cuties but......video games bad

woman can't do sex crime bc men are all sex beasts

evangelists are wild

and yes they are evangelists this is a radical Christian organization

of course they are

They do realize there's a difference between depicting something and supporting it, right?

absolutely they don't

I think they, in fact, do know, and are arguing in wholly bad faith

While people who don't quite get it are easily manipulated into going easy on them

Yeah all evidence is this group is TERF centric and actively supported by neocons

I made a comment to a friend about how the main reason they're probably not up in arms about funger is because most of the potential SA victims there are male

honestly funger probably isn't big enough to get on their radar

they've already tried going after GTA

terfs and swerfs remember

because they're anti sex evangelist freaks

all of those anti sex "feminists" are right wing evangelist freaks masquerading as feminists

and yes I am aware freak is a loaded term that they use but I'm turning back on them they're the real freaks

and their flag looks like an anus booty butthole

ngl I hate this type of argument. real life women who consent to wearing revealing clothing aren't the same as pixel designs made by horny dudes

don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not a fan of what collective shout is doing, but I feel like the article rightfully criticizing their actions could have done well without this one

yeah unfortunately this is a case of "god I wish some people weren't on my side about this but desperate times"

also they really underestimate how much desexualization is also driven by evangelist interests and general obscenity censorship and think it's all feminism's fault
