Good, keep harassing them.

[–] Cabslock@lemmy.world 57 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not harassing, notifying them of our concerns in a cordial manner!

[–] socsa@piefed.social 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Exactly! Please stop mailing pictures of Luigi Mangione to their executive offices!

Good.

I know the whole "slippery slope" argument is often overused, but conservatives already love to conflate queer voices with pornography to try and censor them. This slope is like X=0.1, if these conservatives have their way they will be coming for LGBTQ content next. This shit needs to be shut down right away.

Atwater: Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."

Collective Shout is following this with some modifications. You can't come out an say "we want to ban LGBT content". Collective Shout starts with banning inceset and rape games cause who's going to stand against that? Then it's all about perverts (with no definition of what makes someone a pervert) and protecting children from perverts. All the way talking about what makes a women, women (Hint: Does not include trans-women).

It's why conseratives are in favor of bathroom bills, ID and birth names, and other anti-trans law.

For people like us, it's glaring obvious what Collective Shout is up too however the average person doesn't.

Leftists basically never reach beyond what they say, and in fact there’s a lot of issues that come from centrists often being the sorry excuse for true progressiveness in most places. Conservatives, though? That slope is proven, every damn day, to be slicker than a teflon slip’n’slide coated in motor oil and full-fat butter.

Why did Reddit delete the post?

For fuck sales, Reddit…. Could you try not to suck so hard all the time?

Narwhal. Axe. This.

I’m not even a gamer and I object to this censorship of consensual sexual content. I don’t support the violence aspect, but these companies are swinging the pendulum way too far. I’ll call my CC company after work to register my (cordial) complaint.

They targeted gamers. Gamers.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 4 days ago

Gamers are the most oppressed minority, after white men and Christians.

I've heard collective shout is trying to run away too; claiming that itch.io is being mean and being maliciously compliant.

Good.

Reminds me of the old cartoon where internet porn becomes illegal and the streets are on fire in the next frame.

If they remove porn from the internet...
