Update from the author:
Ah, I thought it was strange for the payment processing companies to come out of nowhere.
Them being pressured by conservative prudish assholes masquerading as concerned feminists makes more sense.

Update from the author:
Well, that's new: usually when I need the archived article it's because the original was paywalled, but this time the original seems to have been deleted completely. Is Vice getting censored too now?

From Wikipedia about NCOSE
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), previously known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, is an American conservative anti-pornography organization. The group has also campaigned against sex trafficking, same-sex marriage, sex shops and sex toys, decriminalization of sex work, comprehensive sex education, and various works of literature or visual arts the organization has deemed obscene, profane or indecent. [...] The organization describes its goal as "exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation".
Doing the lords work by fucking up (lol) any discourse about sexuality.

It's weird, the link on the front page is still there, but it leads to a 404:

Why does every logo have to be called an asshole now?

wrote last edited by [email protected]The author posted three articles involving Collective Shout. The only one that didn't get removed replaces most of the detailing on Collective Shout with narration of the now-endangered benefits of "we both roleplay as giant women who consume our viewers".
Moral of the story: To avoid takedown, double down

Update from the author:
Why is there an Animal Crossing video attached to this? Also, what happened to the original article, did they delete it?

Because fucking of course they're fascists. Of course.

Update from the author:
Is Detroit: Become Human on the list of removed titles (that's where the screenshot is from).
The game does deal with themes like child and spousal abuse, and has a part with a same sex couple, so it fits these fascists' MO.
If so, ridiculous. However, I kind of hope they do go after some bigger games so people get pissed.

This is why piracy is morally correct.
I dunno, the people making the games would love to sell them but they are literally deprived of a way to take money from you. Even if you wanted to give them money. For once it's not the publisher fucking you over.

I can agree with exactly ONE thing on that list which is worth campaigning against and that's sex trafficking. However, given that this lot voted in a fucking pedo rapist as the supreme leader of their country, I doubt their conviction.

This is a shit take if I've ever seen one.

Update from the author:
I hope they fucked with wrong company. Watch Valve become the best payment processor simply out of spite. Although there is no solution for reactionaries everywhere targeting porn and sex work.

Is there no aspect of life that isn't being completely shit upon and ruined by conservatives?

Reminds me of enforcing the identification of all internet users for the sake of "protecting the children".

Let's not give them ideas.

This far into the 21st century, paying people for art should have no barriers.
