I knew trump’s executive order sounded familiar

Republicans have begun doing this in the US as well. Once again, don't get caught up in the culture war aspect. This is straight up government surveillance lol. They're conditioning you to ID yourself to access public websites in your own home. Big brother, babyyyyyy

The fact that ~5 people from Australia can dictate what the rest of the world is allowed to see should terrify you

A band of prudes in Australia that nobody has ever heard of until last week have suddenly decided what you're allowed to spend your money on.

We should not give Mastercard/Visa a pass at all, the decision to impose these policies ultimately falls onto these corpos. They folded because a bunch of whiners phoned them 1000 times, they could've just as easily told them to f off and yet they didn't, they wanted to do this.

1. It never stops at porn 2. Giving websites your information to browse them us foolish 3. Im tired of being punished because parents refuse to Parent their children

🚨🚨🚨 Collective Shout is actively trying to censor games and other media for being “exploitative” but they love defending a movie like Cuties in which real actual children are sexualized and exploited. 🚨🚨🚨 And they Cannot. Stop. Defending. It.

I'd rather parents be held accountable. You bring a kid into the world, you should be prepared to raise it properly. Governments should focus on forcing them to do that, not treating all adults as children because a few who couldn't keep their knickers on are shitty parents.

I'm sick of these people, they're literally an Australian group and they're imposing their puritanical bs on the rest of the world. There's gotta be a lot of skeletons in this group's closet, they shouldn't have the influence and clout that they do.

Itch io situation is bleak man. People who dismiss this just "lol it just shitty indie porn game" When its fucking deeper than that. Payment Processor now DICTATE which art is legal. This shit can happen to any SFW vanilla game if they deem there's 'inappropriate' content

Protected again. You can go back to every tweet and turn off the comments, it wont stop anything. Its all archived. Your words, your beliefs, your intent, your slander, your lies, your cries, your pathetic falsehoods, your drivel…. Everyone knows. On and off private makes people more suspicious. You cannot hide from light. I have dissected you at a molecular level. Your reign of terror ends this year, it was a good 30 year run. All of it crashing down because some woman in a basement dared to ask “who are you”? Such fragility. Im feeling emotionally wounded you still refer to me as a man. I have given you so much time to correct it. Perhaps today i am feeling motivated enough to file with the Australian Human Rights Commission.

We as internet users need to unite and push back against censorship at all levels Whether youre in the US or the UK it comes for us all Censorship is a dangerous slope and we'll soon become 1984 if this continues

DO NOT STOP!! That they're hiding means they're scared and they know they are in the wrong. Don't stop calling them out for their extremist and authoritarian actions hiding behind the cudgel of religion! Keep shouting them down from the rooftops and, more importantly, contact your government representatives and senators. Let them know what these people are trying to do. Let them know how they are trying to strip your rights as an individual and a consumer away by weaponizing the payment processors. Until we have reclaimed these rights we CANNOT stop!

Itchio and steam is just the start, if Detroit become human is one of their targets you really think any game or movie or book or indie project is safe? These people are a roving band of reactionary sycophants and everyone else is turning a blind eye because its "gross"

There is now an official Change dot org petition to get more eyes/legal help against Collective Shout & the censoring of video games & more. I'll leave a link in the next comment so you can sign yourselves

Shimoneta is becoming real, the censorship becomes more and more rampant as time passes

Not just BL or Otome, either. If you have a visual novel (SFW or NSFW!) that has been affected by the recent waves of censorship- pop into our DMs. If your game's a good fit, we'd love to get you set up on the JAST Store.

It is one thing to believe porn is bad for yourself, it is another to impose your beliefs on others to force them to confirm to your ways. Once you cross that line, you become an enemy and must be stopped.

To people on the left: Anti-Porn Feminists are not your friends, they are almost always TERFs and SWERFs. To people on the right: Anti-Porn Christians are not your friends, they can and WILL go after video games and anime the first chance they get, they always loved censorship.

I’ve pledged to stand against tyranny and I’m showing up to one of *thousands of protests* across the country this Saturday – join me! secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/la…
