Official statement on Steam being pressured to remove offensive content

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

I really want to know what drugs you take that make you this blissfully stupid.

Smart enough to know about long term consequences in encouraging such precedents.

IT'S ALREADY A PRECEDENT
THE COWS ARE OUT OF THE BARN AND HAVE IN FACT ESCAPED TO NAIROBI ABOARD EPSTEIN'S PRIVATE JET.

PAYMENT PROCESSORS CANNOT ACTUALLY GET MORE ABLE TO CONTROL WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BUY THAN THEY ALREADY ARE.

Hence why I used the word encouraging.

"Hence why" is a grammatical error. "Hence" means "from here", so it already implies "why".

This is the only part of your post I feel deserves response.

I will have zero pity when they finally go scorch earth and banned the last remnants of free speech sites. It was fun while it lasted.

It'll be right after Trump goes to war with Iran and Canada conquers America, right?

[ThulsaDoomer]

If that's your position I can see the value - only because the splash radius of more impacted groups gives more power to ultimately dismantle "the thing" that is being a gay globohomo. Like @Unhelpful Contrarian said. If Payment processors start ******* with more and more segments of the population instead of just incest coom games and kiwifarms - the chances for the government to say "ok **** this ****" and dismantling their monopoly on payment processing is more likely. Which is a win for freedom of speech and market of ideas.

What chances? Western Governments are the ones backing payment processors on their decision here, both are in alignment and have been from the start. Do you truly believe the government would step in and put an end to a monopoly now of all times? They haven't done so in decades, and allowed monopolies to only grow further in all sectors to the detriment of all. It's beyond naive given all evidence is pointing in the opposite direction.

They won't **** with the profitable segments of the population, it makes no sense for them to do so. Coomers are not keeping the economy moving, nor are most companies running ads or deals with them. I'm not going to mourn the loss of degeneracy especially when I'd argue 90% of those creating that content are libtards who would have voted in equal censorship to content they don't agree with. It's only a dire threat to freedom when it targets them, not their opponents. As you can imagine, we do not have empathy for this hypocrisy. I'm utterly tired of hedonists believing they deserve sympathy when they enabled the ideology that led to this inevitable outcome.

[UltraFan123]

These are basically the leftards gooners who can't jerk off to incest porn right now.

While we are the ones who have already been squashed.

[Rand]

You all know that they started with guns in America, right?
The payment processors started ******* with legal, legitimate gun sales. (Driving more of the market into the cash shadow realm than before.)
Commiefornian/jew CEOs think they can impose their draconian gun ******** on others in other American states this way and are slowly succeeding.

This is just the latest battleground. This war must be won and the creeps you loathe dealt with another way. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
I think you all know the "final solution" the EU/WEF/NWO wants to implement will be a CBDC+social credit system where you are rationed on what you may buy, such as flights, cruises, meat, etc... as long as you're a good goy.
(CBDC: central bank digital currency. The ULTIMATE fiat money the banksters can track and control how you spend directly.)

I just think porn is bad

I'm not convinced this is necessarily true, mostly because while porn may not be a good thing, it still functions as a driver for advancement. Pretty much every piece of technolergy remains a gimmick novelty item until someone figures out how to use it for porn.

Now take out the porn women prefer instead and we'll see how quickly they shut up.

[Shillitron]

I agree with Shillitron that all this fiasco may result in the dissolution of the monopolies that payment processors currently have.

It won't.

yea Incest rape games won't move the needle.. but the reason Payment Processors went after steam was because of the Feminist Australian group that was emailing the CEO's of payment processors.

These are the same women who want all female objectification gone in media - incest coom slop was the low hanging fruit - this group wanted GTA banned as well (and got it banned from target but couldn't go past that). They've been trying to remove games off steam for years and this is the first time they tried with payment processors.. and it worked.. so this is a drum they are gonna start banging again and I think other groups are gonna jump on the band wagon too.

Payment Processors have been that unspoken crink in the freedom of speech armor and it's being ripped open.


FYI - There's already a bill with Vance's support that wants to remove the ability for payment processors to "editorialize" transactions between consenting parties. So the wheels are "in motion".

In the House, reference bill H.R.987, the Fair Access to Banking Act. This bill, known as the Fair Access to Banking Act, aims to prevent financial institutions from discriminating against lawful businesses by denying them financial services based on political or subjective reasons. The same legislation is in the Senate, S.401.

[Tweed]

We just want to make sure that only adults access porn.
We just want to make sure that only adults access potentially misleading information.
We just want to make sure that only adults access RPGHQ.
We just want to make sure that we know exactly who is on the internet at all times of the day and everything they're doing at every moment.

Won't somebody please think of the children?!

This ISN'T fake.
They got away with the internet censorship bill in England. Spotify has been affected and is requiring age verification or account deletion. Paid accounts, even.
They are getting away with credit card companies controlling purchases and products on sites all over, not just Steam.
Look what they want next.

It's in a government database. They'll share it with whoever they want. And yes, they do know everything you look at on the internet unless you use a VPN, already.

While I can understand the point of protesting government encroachment, am I supposed to be against people going back to buying physical media and policies discouraging alcohol consumption?

****, how am I supposed to get to work now?

Can't wait for people to hack the breathalyser so that your car only starts after a certain alcohol level is detected.

[herkzter]

I understand that point except in this example the stabber is not being stabbed - it's stabbing your enemy and is also stabbing you twice as much and your ignoring that your bleeding out because "at least that ****** got stabbed too"

I will allow you to be stabbed as many times as it takes to inconvenience a libtard even slightly

“Im going to give the enemy the **** to hang me with to own the libtards.”


rusty shackleford

i get why payment services dictating what others can and cannot purchase is a bad thing - this sets a bad precedent...

... but i'm also not going to shed a single tear if vast amounts of porn games get taken off numerous platforms because of this. being porn-sick is bad and it feeds a highly predatory industry that relies on vast scores of people seeking more extreme forms of mental stimulus that eventually fries your brain.

[swbgtoc]

They're using children as a pretext to take away our freedom and we shouldn't pretend it doesn't affect us because we don't watch porn or this kind of porn. Private companies shouldn't have the power the decide what other companies sell or not, period.
And in Europe they're forcing us to link our real world identity to the internet so they can monitor what we say and think. This is the first step to a social credit score.

And people let these slide because "it's too protect le children!!!" but there are tons of solutions to protect children from the internet. Starting with basic parenting.

[Shillitron]

Sucking government robot's ****, lmao.

Lmfao.
Grown men who wanna drive their car in the UK / EU need to put a giant robo penis in their mouth first. Is there any way we could more subjugate a species. It's just comical at this point. How much will humans endure?

[Shillitron]

... but

Celebrate the outcome fine - you still need to actively fight against the mechanism.

If the only thing keeping coomer incest weeb porn games off steam is globohomo censorship driven by feminist karens in a foreign country - you lost.

This is disgusting. They should instead offer them free cold showers for a week.
Seriously, we need to expand the Comstock act to also cover internet services and any other public telecommunication services, an expand the definition of obscene materials further to make sure it covers all of the degeneracy, including any information on trannism, homo, and so on.

Could not care less than porn games are getting removed, but the fact that Jewish credit card companies get to regulate what's moral or not is ******* dystopian.
