  Hmm, some of those titles are suspicious because yes perverted nerds do cause some of society’s problems as we learned from the whole incel movement, and there are studies showing some types of porn lowers empathy etc for others.

    It’s the fucking principle.

    3rd party payment holders should not be the morale Police…what turns into morale reasons shifts to political very quickly

      It goes well beyond the principle.

      If this sticks, expect every conservative group in the US to start trying this. Pressure Visa/ MC/ PayPal not to accept charges from Planned Parenthood, or from LGBT-friendly bars, or from book publishers they don’t like, etc. This is just censorship by other means.

      We agree, actually.

      However, someone somewhere has to moderate the things on a platform and to be fair steam famously doesn’t often.

    Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.

    The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But they’re don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.

    So I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles.

  I’ll post my content from another thread on the same subject: I have very little respect for Valens’ writing after seeing articles spreading lies and essentially striking out at a vtuber company for being rejected by them. Vice is crap, but Valens is no better.

    Not a great idea to call someone out for spreading lies but not support the claim with evidence. Also, what are your honest thoughts on Gamergate?

      I’m not going to dispute point-for-point; I exclusively post from my phone and it would be too much work. An example would be taking a clip out of context, i.e. a vtuber talking about someone else’s talking points, and portraying them as though they are the vtuber’s opinions.

      Gamergate? I don’t really care.
