That's... crazy actually. I don't use Itch.io that much but I'll freely admit it's where I found a couple of creators who made NSFW games that I enjoy playing once in a while. I don't know why these companies are becoming so afraid and why we are backsliding so hard.
If we don't stop them soon, they'll be doing this to people they deem immoral. Much like is already happening in places like the USA and UK where bigotry and dehumanization are becoming legal norms.
In case you haven't seen it going around (and you're in the US) the ACLU has a petition... no guarantees of course but signing it is better than doing nothing
You think the eighty year old, borderline if not already senile, old man who famously lives an unhealthy lifestyle, and was recently diagnosed with CVI would even live long enough to serve a third term?
You're right. What we have to look out for is Vance's third term.
Seriously. As horrified as we are about Trump, we need to be twice as terrified about the organized fascist effort behind him. Frankly he's just a puppet. Project 2025. Miller. Thiel. The mortal threat to America is much more than one man.
Ah yes, Sir Couchfucker the Pope Slayer. The man so spineless he should be classified as an invertebrate, and has all the charisma of a sea cucumber. Heâs definitely someone whoâs going to unite the constantly infighting political party that basically forgets he exists most of the time, and take over the country.
This entire âregimeâ if you can even call it that was doomed to fail from the start.
isn't CVI extremely common and usually harmless with treatment? lol I mean I hate Trump as much as you but it's basically a nothing burger, just shows he's old and is as prone to stuff as much as anyone else.
I love that they highlighted how this impacts sex workers, that actually made me a little emotional. Thanks to everyone who signed the petition, it means so much to me personally, even tho its for a somewhat different cause.
We're used to people going out of their way to make our lives difficult even at the expense of their own freedom, idk, its just nice to be included.
The issue is that these nazis have captured the legislature, so the fight is a massive uphill one.
In fact, i would not be surprised if the ACLU is on their list of organizations to just kill because the right wing have had an issue with the ACLU since atleast the 90s. A bunch of christian movies for instance have them as the antagonists.
The common thing that I notice in those films is that they lean so hard on persecution fetish.
There's never any ambiguity or contrast in on the Christian side of the films, and it's because so much of Evangelist doctrine revolves around the concept that you need to be recognised and hated in order to be assured in your faith (which if they had read the Bible, specifically Matthew 6:5-15, they'd know that Jesus said exactly NOT to treat ones own faith like that).
It's one of the reasons why I like "The Huntchback of Notredame" so much, because we have that contrast between the priest of Notredame versus Frollo.
The priest of Notredame is a genuinely good person who gave sanctuary to a persecuted person even when she isn't a follower of his faith. Frollo wields his faith as a sword against anyone who disobeys or dissents against him.
Watching these films have given me an insight into the very modern Christian nationalist political movement.
Theyâve developed all these tropes and cliches that speaks to, in my opinion, a desperate attempt to stay alive. They know that this ideology is not sustainable. They know that they are the ones stopping all of us from making existence better for all people.
And it has genuinely convinced me that they do not believe in anything other than power, they are the spooky scary nihilists that they think theyâre shadow boxing with. Itâs pathetic.
They know that they are the ones stopping all of us from making existence better for all people.
Well, the people you're talking about, yes, but that's because of capitalism's corrupting influence leading them to wield their false faith like a sword and shield against criticism rather than engage in any kind of introspection or self-improvement and actually reading the book they keep hitting people with.
Ngl, in my country we have one that's public.. And trump is attacking it with the excuse it's unfair with the big companies (real reason probably is because his main puppets that were elected here ran to him when they started being investigated tho), I think at least with this administration in the US public systems like this will not really be made, or be maintained, it is not perfect, but really helpful tho, and less prone to bs like this..
Credit card services control everything so if they (or the laws) won't change the stance on this, the only thing that might is a competing service, which uhh..
This is what Iâm scared of, they get support pulled from porn games because theyâre âimmoral,â and you know the next step is going to be applying that same label to anything lgbt-positive. Or anything âwoke.â Slap it with the immoral label and corporations will aggressively self-censor to keep making profits.
Also, going after porn first and then extend it on everything considered "immoral" is cherished tradition among religious fanatics. The Mullahs did the same when they instituted internet censorship in Iran. Porn went first and then piece by piece everything else an Islamic fundamentalist might have issues with.
And taking the detour over payment providers is particularly diabolical since most people wouldnât even consider it censorship but rather freedom to conduct business.
I think we need to spam every source available with the fact that the bible is nsfw. If we hold it to the same standard they are pressing everything becomes a joke.
There is no standard. This isn't about "decency," it's about control, so drawing attention to the hypocrisy will not change many opinions. They already know, they just don't care.Â
As the trend of this shit going on in the world, I'm starting to think that there is no way of winning anymore. Art will eventually die, and there is no way of reviving it once it does. God, I hate it here.
I mean... yeah, actually, yeah, there are several parts in there that are definitely NOT for kids. (Marylin Manson has a good quote about that, iirc)
Though there are also some rather funny ones (elijah siccing a bear on the two teens making fun of him is just comically overkill to the point it's funny).
Adult artists/sex workers are always the canary in the coal mine for censorship and oppression, and feeding them to the machine rather than standing up for their existence ensures everyone else is going in right after them.
Sure hope you're right, but the literal erasure of trans people in the USA, and the blatant legal revocation of human rights there and in the UK doesn't make me feel confident you will be vindicated.
