I had a look at their website.
They have campaigned against games that normalize incest and sexual abuse. The first campaign, that led to this one, was against a game called No mercy.
The description, according to their website, is:
Following that they campaigned against other games promoting sexual violence and incest.
How is this a bad thing? Do you lot just hear anti-porn and start foaming around your mouth?
Targeting payment processors to force change within a business often leads to overreaction. That's how we got Onlyfans announcing that it was banning porn entirely. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal become quite unreasonable when these groups start gaining traction.
This same group pushed to get Detroit: Become Human pulled because it has the player controlling a victim of abuse protecting another victim. There is zero nuance to their target choices. If they get pull with payment processors, they can go "this is a child abuse simulator!" and get something like that pulled with less public support behind them.
Zero nuance is what this thread is filled with.
One does not need to agree with everything they do or did. In fact, i don't. But getting games that are clearly catering to rapist fantasies pulled off steam, is something i see as very positive.
not sure anyone thinks the problem here is that these particular games are getting taken down, the larger context and efforts of this group are concerning as it etablishes precedent for them to take the next step in their anti-trans and anti-gay agenda ...
Downthread there are some people arguing pro rape and incest games.
I am not defending the group. When (likely not even if) they go against LGBTQI+ games i will happily speak up against that. But in this case they are not wrong, and i am okay with pointing that out. Look at the level of hate in this thread. For banning incest and rape games...
When they move to anti trans stuff and we give them flak, they will rightfully say "Oh, it's those gamers again. Last time they defended rape games. No need to listen to them."
huh, scrolling through the comments I mostly see comments calling them out for being TERFs, I'm not really seeing any defense of the games themselves.
Excuse me if I'm a bit sensitive, though - I'm both gay and trans, so this group in particular is dangerous to me and I don't really care if the broken clock is right twice a day, I think it's best to call the clock broken.
We don't have any argument here, though - we agree that vile games are vile and it's good they're gone.
