  They have also destroyed rent in lots of places. Here in Spain prices have more than doubled for rent since AirBnB is a thing. Landlords even tell you that they get way more money from airbnb, so supply and demand and all that.

  Sure, but I guess their point stands. Why use pedophile for the paraphilia, instead of for someone who really likes the best for kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pedo planet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bibliophile means someone who loves/likes books. I’m guessing that’s their point. That “phile” has been corrupted by sexual connotations.

  I personally do not care, I usually do not want to go into communities/places where I’m not welcome. But disceiminating basing on gender, sex, sexuality, race, ideology, etc… usually frowned upon.

  I just find that double standard quite pronounced.

  Yeah, men should go to the back of that bus right?

  I have! But in a civilized country, not the USA. I do pay your salary when I go to the restaurant, yes. You are paid by the restaurant only because people go there and eat. Your salary is literally dependant on people ordering food. It is the service you provide, you are not a fucking independent contractor that I have personally hires to serve my table lol. You are on the restaurant’s payroll, same as tech support is on whatever company’s payroll. No tips for one, no tips to the other. A techy gets paid the same whether they spend 5 hours on a ticket and licks the customer’s dick, or if they spend one hour and are complete asses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The tip is not their salary, it’s an optional gratuity. It doesn’t devalue shit. They should get paid a living wage, and that’s it. That or you better stop being a hypocrite and start tipping tech support as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you tip for the service for customer tech support or similar customer facing industries as well?

  Source?

  If you read the article, it does not say there has been a second wave or something targetting LGTBQ+ games. It is one person saying their comic was SFW and was delisted.

  We should definitely fight back regardless, don’t get me wrong, but as of yet there has not been LGBTQ+ targetting.

  The author of the SFW comic should contact itchio and ask why their game was deindexed, since itch did MASSIVE removal of all “adult” and NSFW content beyond what their payment processors asked, as to evade any issue and then reindex according to them.

  Again, we should be alert, and we should monitor their firther actions closely, but it’s not time yet to cry wolf with the LGBTQ+ targetting.
