Its more perverted to want to control what other people are jacking to than it is to jack it to porn games. Keep your perversions to yourselves weirdos.

Anyone want to argue why porn video games are a benefit for society, or even a single persons health?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago

It's not about porn games. It's about allowing third-party private interests to engage in censorship.

If Valve were to ban porn games from being sold on Steam because they find them distasteful, I wouldn't have a problem with this. But it wasn't Valve's decision. It was the payment processors who did it on behalf of interests that are apparently allowed to determine what is permissible on other people's platforms.

That's not okay.

I couldn't care less... I care about what will be the next thing someone unaffected by me consuming it, would ban it and deprive me of it

No, but you might want to take a step back from that ledge advice a steep much huddy hill.

Frankly I think a lot of modern games are fucked up in their portrayal of the human body, and those relationship sim dress up games are kinda gross.

But I don't think this should be too to credit card companies to unilaterally decide.

I would say they aren't as bad as alcohol and gambling, which are pervasive...some of them are just...art...some aren't :D I could ask you the same about lots of other things, from music to literature. I just don't like book burning. If someone put their effort into creating something that they thought was worth creating, why is it up to anyone to ban it for any adult that wants to see it?

"Pro life feminist"

A christian conservative group in drag,nothing to see here.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

Yep. They drive all the decent people out of anti porn feminist spaces, like the porn is misogyny subreddit. They need to be stopped.

fucking fuck fuck fuckers , if they wanted to ban then they should have contacted to steme why payment providers bruh

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Because they want to apply their rules to everyone, it's the entire point for religious assholes

Fuck all religions

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 10 hours ago

Fuck All Religions 😍

I’ll join that cult!

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, rules for thee not for me. Bunch of dildos.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 82 points 1 day ago (25 children)

I'm sick of religious sex freaks forcing others to adhere to their puritan fetishes

We need to ban organized religion

That is so dumb. How would such a small group have that much pull? It seems like gooners would vastly outnumber them.

In the 90s, in my country, a single person made a webpage stating that Microsoft minesweeper promotes war and violence, so since windows 95 if the Windows locale is set to my language, minesweeper becomes "flower field" and you have to find flowers instead of mines

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It was due to the actual active minefields in certain region of the EU. But i was always so confused by that name. 'Prato fiorito' does it mean that if I step on the flowers i explode? This is what i thought back than.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That sounds like the whatever version of engrish and I love it

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And if you step on the flower you DIE.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

tbf, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild enforces those principles too.
