"Legality Is Not The Defining Factor": Steam Censorship Campaign Details It Seeks Removal Of Games Whether Legal Or Not

p*rnography

Even media sites have to do this hiding from the algorithm shit now I guess

It's hard to not despise Collective Shout. On top of the morality policing, they're unapologetically arrogant about it in the most regressive ways possible.

"it is clear many of the men defending their r*pe games perpetrate crimes of violence against women, because they are doing it to us right now."

Conservatives already tried that line in the 90s, claiming violent games cause violent children. Guess what— it's now a trillion-dollar industry.

Our objection has always been clearly stated - rpe, incst, and child sexual abuse.

"Oh, won't somebody think of the children!"

Roper stated, "If Steam and itch.io had been moderating their platforms as they should have, there would have been no need to temporarily delist games to ensure they were not in violation of their policies.

Oh, look, DARVO. Let's blame the platforms that temporarily lost their ability to take credit card payments for developers losing money, not the people bitching to Visa and Mastercard.

Collective Shite

If they really gave one third of a shit about protecting women they’d go after conservative politicians, religious leaders, CEOs, and transphobes.

Get bent, CS.

The title feels dissonant: it states a provocative claim without context

Collective Shout—a conservative Australian advocacy group—has made it clear that it targets video games based on the harm they inflict, not their legality. In a recent interview with TweakTown, campaigns manager Caitlin Roper stated: “legality is not the defining factor… it is about documented evidence of harm to women and girls” . She emphasized the group’s focus on opposing the sexual objectification and exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether the content is legal. Collective Shout accuses platforms like Steam and Itch.io of insufficient moderation and lauded its recent win—pushing these platforms, via pressure on payment processors, to delist or deindex NSFW content as its 27th victory of the year .

It could be part of a wider plot, overseen by Project 2025's leading voices, to ban p*rnography from video games and the wider internet.

Ow and they don't like gays either....

A group successfully removes 13 NSFW games from a platform. Since then there have been 132 NSFW games released on the same platform. Great success. Not.

Shockingly sane comments on that website.
