No oligopoly is when several companies control the market. Monopoly is when a single company controls the market.

Shouldn't have jerked off all zoom class bud.

Bro's too lazy to scan 2 things.

So which band is this a patch for? /s

looks sick dude!

drag their feet

They full on chickened out!

Last I checked the chances had been reduced by 1000%

Free market baby. If VISA decides it will lose money processing payments for hentai games it's their prerogative to not process them.

I'd wager you have crypto wallet if you the kind of person who cares about hentai games. Go support the developer directly if it matters so much.

Hentai games are not going to make the 98% of people who don't play them care about Payment Oligopolies, which is the closet thing to moral cause here.

Nothing wrong with hentai but getting worked up over it is a red flag.

none zero chance

I wager the actual chances are in the double digits.

Totally. I'm arguing that the only people with puritanical reasons are the Australian karen group.

VISA etc are acting for purely financial reasons. Like they literally have matrixes for this kind of thing. Corporations don't give 2 shits about fuck if it doesn't make them money.

End of the day they calculated that the market cap for hentai games is smaller than the potential lost revenue generated from the negative publicity.

Politik-brained Canadian here:

IIRC they didn't raid Epstein till 2019. In 2020 Democrats had a narrow majority in the house which they would lose in 2022.

Than January 6, 2021 happened, and I think everyone thought that would be the legal case that brought Trump down.

It kind of seemed inevitable that the Epstein files would get leaked or released eventually. That is until Trump officially ran again in 2023; creating the possibility that the evidence would be destroyed permanently if he won.

Pretty sure Collective Shout is Austrailian.

I think they also got Left 4 Dead 2's poster edited to remove the V fingers (cuz it's 2 in america and the finger in Aussie??)

They also got an rpg rape simulator delisted, though that probs would have happened on it's own.

An action group of Karens who in the past have succeed in getting other games (one of them an rpg rape simulator) taken off of game stores.

This recent story they convinced payment processors to pressure steam into removing most of their adult games as well as some other site that I guess has even more adult games.

IMO if a platform decides they don't want to host adult content, that is their prerogative. The people conflating this to "art destruction" or "censorship" are just another flavour of people who misunderstand what free speech is and isn't.

Well thanks for letting me know I don't need to bother with that site /s

Thank you. Was kind of discouraged at bro fixating on me using the word Hebrew like I meant anything by it. Nice to hear someone else has the same experience.

I've copied the relevant parts from that link below since I did not read anything validating those allegations.

....

The Claim: Textbooks used in UNRWA schools glorify terrorists and promote hatred of Israel.

The Facts: UNRWA uses host government textbooks, in line with UN best practice for providing quality education in refugee settings. UNRWA reviews all textbooks used in its schools to identify sections that may not be in line with UN values and UNESCO standards for teaching. UNRWA has no tolerance for hate speech and inciting discrimination, or violence. Independent analysts and international education experts have vouched for the quality and content of the education that UNRWA provides in its schools.

Using host country curriculums in refugee situations is standard for the UN around the world. It is a best practice that helps students pursue their education in host country education systems. The vast majority of UNRWA’s school system ends after grade 9, and most students transition to local schools for upper secondary, then university.

UNRWA is one of the very few entities in the region that runs a programme on human rights, conflict resolution and tolerance.

UNRWA teachers are trained to address any controversial content in the classroom, using guidance documents developed by UNRWA. The teachers are required to follow this approach and held accountable. When it comes to the Palestinian Authority textbooks, UNRWA refers systematically to UN positions on issues such as the occupation, borders, the separation barrier, and Jerusalem. UNRWA is not in a position to – nor is it mandated to – reconcile the Israeli and Palestinian narratives.

In addition, an Education Expert Advisory Group, composed of globally recognised experts representing renowned institutions like UNESCO and the World Bank, advises UNRWA on a regular basis on its education programme. Regarding the textbooks produced by the Palestinian Authority, UNRWA’s own stance on these materials closely aligns with the findings from the Georg Eckert Institute’s study commissioned by the European Commission. .

Other internationally recognised outside evaluations – including a 2021 World Bank-UNHCR study – demonstrated that UNRWA’s educational outcomes are among the best in the region and at the lowest cost per student.

The Claim: A 2019 U.S. Government Accountability Office report allegedly said that UNRWA has not always implemented measures to address problematic content in school textbooks.

The Facts: The 2019 report reaffirmed UNRWA’s unwavering commitment to UN values, and, where there was a need for better implementation, this was done – you can find our statement about this here.

UNRWA undertakes regular reviews of all textbooks and learning material used in its schools for compatibility with UN values and UNESCO standards and reinforcing tolerance and human rights.

The Claim: Rather than being part of the solution, UNRWA perpetuates the refugee problem, including by reminding Palestine Refugees of their history and telling them their home is in Israel.

The Facts: When the UN General Assembly created UNRWA by passing resolution 302 in 1949, it did not mandate the Agency to resolve the Israeli Palestinian conflict nor the Palestine Refugee issue or find durable solutions for refugees.

Rather, UNRWA was set up as temporary organisation to carry out “direct relief and works programmes” for Palestine Refugees.

UNRWA has a humanitarian and development mandate, renewed every three years by the UN General Assembly, to provide assistance and protection to Palestine Refugees pending a just and lasting solution to their plight. UNRWA delivers public services, especially basic education and healthcare.

UNRWA is still in place 75 years later due to the failure by the international community to resolve a political problem.

Palestine Refugees are like all other refugees. Under international law, refugees and their descendants may retain their status until a durable solution is found to the situation that made them refugees in the first place. As stated by the United Nations, this principle applies to all refugees and both UNRWA and UNHCR have recognised descendants as refugees on this basis.

UN General Assembly resolution 194 precedes and differs from resolution 302, which established UNRWA. The Agency does not have the mandate for durable solutions, including to return or resettle Palestine Refugees.

I don't wanna get your hopes to high.... but IMO this is easily one of the best episodes in the entire series.

It's utter bullshit but it works apparently!

boycotting

Matt & Trey laughing in 1.5Billion dollars.

Just bottom rung people looking down on the only people left categorically worse than them.

That's why "chomos" need to be protected in jail.

That's why wanna be Chris Hansen's are usually as creepy as the creeps they catch.

That's why violence posted online gets a free pass when its framed as a pedo getting btfu.

Oh man. Watched it last night twice than watched SE 4 episode 9 for good measure. (OG episode with satan and sadam they're referenceing)

The right wing youtuber cope is hilarious. It's so obvious they couldn't even sit through the whole episode.
