Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.
-
On the one hand, oh noz, the incest games. Who will live without the low effort AI goon crap?
On the other hand, why do the payment companies get to dictate what sales are made? It's my fucking money, or my fucking store. It's not the job of the payment processors to determine if I'm buying illegal goods, just that the money goes from me to the store.

Does a diaper wearing fetish predispose someone to pedophilia? This reeks of slippery slope fallacy
They probably do wear diapers aswell.
-
It's only a matter of time before they come for furry stuff. They did it with fansly. It's apparently "simulated bestiality" and from what I've heard you aren't even allowed to reference trans puppy girls, pup play, etc without getting banned.
That's different than cub stuff right?

Some, maybe. Regardless, if two consenting adults want to pretend to be animals or even pretend to be kids while they hump I really don’t see a problem.

wrote last edited by [email protected]That's the fucking thing. It's played up to the point that kids might find it and like it.
It wouldn't be a problem if they didn't fucking have conventions celebrating it. With kids.
Or, you know. On FUCKING STEAM.

Why shouldn't the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs?
Steam could pursue other payment processing possibilities instead of acquiescing to their demands.

Sure. You like beastialty too?
Oh damn, ya got me

It’s kind of messy because I think there is a subset of the fandom where it isn’t necessarily sexualized. Like, Khajit and Argonians from Elder Scrolls are pretty much furries but they’re not explicitly sexual. Feel like I’m getting over my skis in terms of my understanding of that fandom since I’m not in that world. No idea how if at all those cons keep the kid safe stuff separate from the sex shit, if at all.

Because corporate religions are obviously more important than individual religions and beliefs. It goes against my beliefs to pay overdraft fees. Do you think that shit would hold up? They are constantly changing the rules that you have to follow and enforcing their will on everyone whether they use their service or not.
Religion is vile.
-
Good. That shit is vile.
Thank you for your contribution, it's suitably appreciated.
-
Nah nah, it's going to get banned, because the politicians dont need to pretend with virtual lolis /s/
I hate that this comment is too close to reality.
-
This might sound like a good idea. But it is not, since lets say some topic is too sensitive for the payment processor, then they have monopoly on what game can and can not be allowed on Steam.
So in the long run, this is a bad idea.
This doesn't sound like a good idea in any way. Why the fuck do banks get to say how my money is used? They can literally eat my shit.

Imagine you can't use visa or mastercard. What other fucking payment card acceptance system are you going to use for payment processing in under 30 seconds?

Because it's none of their business what I buy. If a store is a reputable business that isn't defrauding me, and are a legal entity, then whatever they sell to me or I buy from them should only matter to me and the seller.

So half the market can get nuked once the CEO decides whatever faith du jour they have disallows whatever?
-
So… why tell payment processors exactly what was purchased? Why not call it “Steam store transaction” and that’s it?
-
You aren't born as a furry, you fucking weirdo. You make that decision on your own

Oh wow. There is this strange non-sexualized offshoot that just dresses up and doesn't want to fuck Lola bunny because they couldn't understand how people works. How nice for them.
-
It does extend to others since they put animated, innocent "kid-friendly" looking porn on imageboards.
And yes it's akin to beastialty which is vile. Why else would you dress up like an animal?
- You can't see these games without being signed in
- When you create a new account, adult games are hidden by default
- You can use the Mature Content Preferences if you don't want to see them
- Steam Families + managed accounts is the way to go to curate stuff for kids
Let the adults be adults, and let the parents to their jobs. No need to grandstand on something so petty.

90000% agreeing with you, video games are for little children and should never contain any adult material!

These payment processors are businesses. They provide a service. Like valve does. It seems to me like you're making an argument for valve, but not for these other businesses which only differ in the service they provide.
If your point is "our society is too dependant on a small selection of payment processors and we need better options," that's a separate discussion and one I don't think I'd disagree with.
