    It's all in in black and white in Project 2025.

    Ban porn > Categorize LGBT as Porn > LGBT is crime > LGBT in prison

    Religious zealots and bigots were given the reigns. This is what we get.

    Regarding payment processing specifically, they are under direct pressure from religious lobbyists and are folding like a cheap suit.

      I feel like one huge thing that’s been missed in here in all this outrage is that it wasn’t just “porn games” that were removed from sale - they were, from what I saw, extreme and sick ones like “rape simulators”, “incest simulators”, and pedophile sex games, where you seduce and rape young children……..

      As someone against censorship in all forms I disagree with what they’ve done, but as a rational person….. if there was ever something that should be censored (or made illegal more like it), it’s probably this.

        It's not hurting you.
        It's not your money.
        Who the fuck are you to say shit about what people buy.
        Should all movies be censored that you don't like? There are rape movies. There are incest movies.

          If you’ve actually been paying attention you’d see that basically the only government in the world that is NOT taking part in all this censorship and mass surveillance is the very government you’re blaming for this.

          If anything, the only hope to stop these payment processors from going even more authoritarian is the current US government. Currently all of the “progressive” and “liberal” governments worldwide are all aboard the censorship and control train. The US is the outlier.

          I’m against censorship in all forms, but geez the games that have been removed….. their creators and the people that buy and enjoy those games are 99.9% sure to be rock spiders. If a game breaks the law then ban it and prosecute, but if not then leave them alone no matter how deprave and sick they are.

          The US (more specifically Project 2025) is a huge driving force in this, they're just domestically focused on the "make America white again" stage of their plans to return to a nuclear family, but that won't stop them using their lobbying powers, or control over tech monopolies to strongarm other countries into submission.

          Project 2025 - porn ban.

          Project 2025 wants to bring back nuclear families. .

          Project 2025 proposes a comprehensive ban on pornography.

            Which side of the political spectrum are currently forcing age verification all over the internet, especially on porn sites - conservatives or “progressives”? Hint: it’s not who you’re saying it is.

            You guys need to move on from the project 2025 rubbish - no one bought it before the election, and still banging on about it only harms the democrats already in-the-toilet credibility.

            In the USA Porn isn’t banned, being gay isn’t “classified as porn” (whatever that means, it makes no sense). Still haven’t seen those concentration and death camps you’ve been yapping about for years either 🤣

            The “progressive left” are the ones on their way to criminalising porn. Have a look at what’s going on in the UK under their increasingly far left government for a glimpse at what the party you support wants.

            The conservatives introduced the online safety act. Labour enforced it, but labour haven't been a progressive party in the UK for decades.

            "Increasingly far left government", tell me you know absolutely nothing about the subject, without saying you know absolutely nothing about the subject.

              So you'd actually be OK with a christofascist dictatorship as long as people you don't like get oppressed as well? Cool.

                What is? Saying I disagree with it the games being censored and removed from sale? Or that “games” that simulate incest, pedos, and rape are disgusting?

                    Project 2025 hasn’t got anything to do with anything happening in America. The longer you guys try to pretend it is, the less support the democrats are going to have.

                      why do you think I give a shit if the democrats have support? I can point to fascism from the current gov without supporting the limp dicked opposition. Stop treating politics like a sports event, it's embarrassing.

                              You’re intentionally misrepresenting what it says, what a surprise.

                              That sentence is in reference to the “pornographic” transgender-advocate book in schools that have extremely graphic pictures and descriptions about things like “sucking girl dick” and so on. It’s not equating pornography with transgenderism at all.

                                Just because I’m curious - do you think that minors can consent to sex with adults? Do you have any issues with adults having sex with children?
