      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.

      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.

          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.

          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.

                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?

                  Why shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process

                  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.

                  Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs?

                  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?

                        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?

                          1. You can't see these games without being signed in
                          2. When you create a new account, adult games are hidden by default
                          3. You can use the Mature Content Preferences if you don't want to see them
                          4. 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.

                              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.

                                I'm genuinely confused about what point you are trying to make.

                                Edited to add, why doesn't someone who understands the point better than I do try to elucidate? Instead of just downvoting me for stating that I didn't understand. Like what does corporate religion mean? I'm so confused.

                                        Things of questionable moral value have been available for sale for as long as money has existed. It’s not like this is new. Payment processors got into this business knowing perfectly well that some purchases may not align with their moral values. In fact, they’ve been profiting off it for decades. They don’t get to suddenly clutch their pearls now.

                                        To be clear, I won’t miss the incest games. I just don’t like the precedent this is setting.
