Everyone hated that.

    “All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight,” Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted on July 18th.

    …so you admit your strategy was completely ineffectual?

      I wouldn’t say that. Steam is such a massive platform that I’m sure it will have some effect, whether it be new people looking for a porn game or old players who are browsing through their library. Sure it won’t die, but less people will play it now

      Unless all this hubbub makes them more popular, which is also possible

    What are the odds one of this group’s leaders gets caught with some sort of secual deviance in the next decade?

    This sort of hatred and need to control others always seems to come from a place of self-loathing and suppression. Normal, well-adjusted can’t enjoy anything because these people are obsessed with their own internal conflicts and project it out onto the world.

    This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn’t negatively affect your primary usage of a product.

      I agree completely. I’ve never bought a porn game on Steam. I can’t imagine buying a porn game on Steam. But I’ll repeat my comment from last week when this news was fresh, in another Community:

      I can’t imagine buying a porn game on Steam. And even if I did, incest holds no interest to me.

      Even so, I absolutely fucking hate this crap. Payment processors are killing off content despite the producers and consumers of the content being completely fine with it. This should be a Net Neutrality issue. But I’m not seeing anywhere near the same outrage over it that there was over ISPs doing the exact same thing.

      I was indifferent, it’s true. People who sell porn have had issues with the likes of PayPal and credit card payments for decades. I wasn’t surprised by the move, nor did I blame Valve.

      Am I bothered that it was instigated by this mob? Not particularly. If it weren’t them, it would have been some other mob. They were only pointing at something the payment companies are already pre-disposed to disassociate from.

      Taking credit for it is a bit of overreach. They pointed at Valve and said “Look! they have porn on their platform!” They didn’t actually do anything.
