“Pro life feminist”
A christian conservative group in drag,nothing to see here.
Yep. They drive all the decent people out of anti porn feminist spaces, like the porn is misogyny subreddit. They need to be stopped.
I’m sick of religious sex freaks forcing others to adhere to their puritan fetishes
We need to ban organized religion
Why did we get refugees from r/atheism? rolls eyes
The majority of the secular world are atheists. Don’t pretend like it is some small subsection just because you live in a bubble of whatever religion you were born into.
Bro I don’t believe in God either. To be honest sometimes I wish I did.
Regardles my problem isn’t with atheism but with specifcally Reddit Atheism
Ew, when did we get reddit’s cringy appeals to the audience talking past the original poster in an ineffectual attempt to throw shade?
People did that on forums before Reddit.
Ah, preachy and unoriginal. Noted.
Anyone want to argue why porn video games are a benefit for society, or even a single persons health?
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.
So this is basically the same as the argument that drugs shouldnt be illegal? Is this just purely based on freedom?
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
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?
If someone wants it then they should be allowed it right? Great moral system you have there. Call it the “why not?” gospel.
Nice strawman.
Should be easy to refute then but somehow you forgot to do that.
OK now I am not one to lob accusations without evidence, but for any of you kind government agents or AIs reading this, let’s say from anywhere within the Five Eyes since we’re talking about Australia:
We have another fanatical religious conservative organization here that is publicly labeling opposition groups pedos. You know how this has trended in the past. Keep an eye on these people.

projection. they want a monopoly on skeezing on the kiddos.
for some reason people will bend themselves into pretzels to give religious people a pass on buggery. here in washington state, we passed a law mandating the reporting of abused children. conservatives and religious types want to keep these children in their abuse.
Don’t be silly. Government surveillance isn’t for the protection of the people, it’s for the protection of the government.
Has the NSA ever caught a terrorist with their massively invasive privacy violating programs, spending the money on that instead of making people better to not become terrorists? Ask the NSA, they’ll tell you they haven’t stopped a single one.
Government surveillance is in service to these people, why else would they care about the privacy and consent of adults in their free time?
some people on lemmy just license their comments as anti-ai license
Which anyone with half a brain expects to be promptly ignored by web crawlers
No, no, they don’t ignore them. They train with them so that chat gpt is fully capable of acting like it doesn’t want AI models to train on its output, if you ask it to.
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
And if you step on the flower you DIE.
tbf, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild enforces those principles too.
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.
That sounds like the whatever version of engrish and I love it
It’s meant to be read like a boris skit, than it works flawlessly.
These people are loud, most gooners don’t want to be loud about it
Does that group also the same one who defending the release of “cuties” before?
Are we wagering this absurdity is built on projection?
cause I’m wagering this absurdity is built on them projecting.
It always is. These are the type of folks who have that feeling of shame wash over after they bust a nut to something they “despise.”
That literally all these types of groups are. They want us to feel the same shame, too. I wish folks could just keep their shit to themselves. Have rules for your own home, sure, but eat shit and rot if you think you should be able to tell me how I should live my life.
I draw the line at abuse, but yeah, otherwise agree.
Totally. I just mean if you don’t want porn or violence in your home more power to ya, but keep your rules to yourself. Let me live and enjoy my life.
Definitely. Always is. And I do mean always.
I like how the language is ‘claims responsibility.’ You know. Like terrorist groups do after an attack
They have suceeded
I truly don’t understand how Visa/MasterCard/etc can be pressured. They are basically infrastructure.
What’s someone going to do, stop using credit cards if they don’t stop a store that person doesn’t even patronize from selling morally hazardous goods?
I don’t get how these campaigns are even effective.
The thing is they are American corporations who care to much about their public image. I would be highly suprised if they national payment platforms would also accept this. (ideal/bankcontant/wero/etc)
Probably just worried Trump will over regulate them if they don’t fall in line with the Christian Radicals.
They pressure payment processors through reputation damage and regulatory threats - these companies are terrified of being associated with anything that could trigger banking regulations or get them labeled as “enabling” problematic content in the media, its purely a risk management desicion for them.
Debit Cards, too.
Cryptocurrency is the solution here, and unfortunately that’s an unpopular take here.
That’s because 90% of cryptocurrency marketing consists of “THINK OF THE GAAAAAAINS YOU CAN MAKE!” instead of “You can use this to buy things without government censorship”.
The entire crypto industry has based itself around being a speculative asset, not a currency.
Which is really unfortunate. If you avoid the most popular coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc), you avoid most of the scams and speculation and end up with a decent currency that respects your privacy and has low fees.
monero?
Yup, Monero is probably the best option. I’ve heard good things about Z-cash, and Bitcoin can work on the lightning network.
Not when exchanges still govern taking money out. They are businesses like everything else and will be just as risk averse
One benefit to payment processing for crypto is that there’s little in the way of material limitations on processing payments. The blockchain for a given coin already exists, your job as a processor is primarily to convert those on-chain transactions into and out of other currencies. Only requiring intervention at the point of entering or exiting dollars to and from the system changes a lot of the dynamics.
It’s pretty easy to switch between cryptocurrencies, so they can surely find an exchange that is friendly to their business. That’s way better than the credit card situation where there are only four major processors–Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express–and only two of those actually matter.
None of what you said addresses the problem I mentioned.
Then I guess I don’t understand your problem.
Payment processors like Visa and Mastercard control a huge chunk of the market, which gives them a lot of say in what transactions are allowed. Even if you avoid credit, most debit cards go through those two companies, so they can restrict what transactions you can make.
With cryptocurrencies, there’s no restriction at the point of sale. Your problem seems to be that converting crypto to fiat could be problematic, and they’d potentially be stuck with “useless” currency. My point is that’s a much easier problem to solve:
- if their exchange stops converting a given currency, they can convert to one they do accept
- if their exchange bans their account (e.g. due to the nature of their business), they can switch exchanges
- there are ATMs that dispense cash for crypto
- if no exchange will work with them, they can make direct exchanges with regular people (i.e. “launder” the money)
- they can also spend the currency directly
There are a ton of options to convert crypto to fiat, there are far fewer to select a different fiat payment processor.
Here’s something I’ve noticed. Whenever someone describes a group, individual, activity, or anything else with more than 2 negative adjectives in a row, they’re probably saying something deeply unstable. This is one of those times.
It’s a Christian fascist org, so there’s a 100% likelihood of mental illness.
Wait is it Christian or is it Feminist? I’m hearing both
It’s very religiously affiliated. Fundie shit.
There’s nothing feminist about them, they coopted the term to try and lend themself legitimacy. They’re feminist in the same way that DPRK is democratic.
Por que no los dos?
Real
I take offense to this generalization. When I call someone an honorless gormless bitch ass motherfucker I’m relieving stress so when fists start flying I ain’t blinded by my own anger, my instability is only mildly correlated to my verbosity.
Let me sit you down when I say this… but if you’re getting into fights even after relieving stress… it either doesn’t work, or you’re behaving in an unstable manner.
Oh no fights are fun. Tis the curse of my kin, seriously damned near every man on the German side of my family treats fights like a fun time waster. Not saying it’s not instability just that my verbosity is perpetual regardless of my mood or actions, well unless I am physically exhausted then I communicate with a handful of words like a caveman.
Also just cause I’m somewhat calm going into a fight doesn’t mean that the person I hurled insults at is.
The same group who complained Detroit Become Human is bad for glorifying child abuse and women abuse. Yet supported Cuties…
It’s because they want real child abuse. Not that fake stuff
Really goes to show people. It doesn’t matter the religion. They all are bullshit machines for people to act superior than others. Fuck these twat waffles.
This whole thing smacks of the “anyone who has a sexual proclivity I claim not to share must have all sexual proclivities I claim not to share” logic. i.e. the logic that got gay people flagged as child molesters back in the bad old days. And occasionally still today.
Such logic might actually be rooted in projection, which is a deeply disturbing thought. Deeply closeted people desperately clinging to heteronormativity and traditional gender roles because they think that if they don’t they they’ll do something abhorrent. Maybe even to someone who can’t consent. Or they already have and they desperately want to hide away from it.
Yes, for the love of all that’s holy and secular too, ban the games with apparent child sexual abuse. Children can’t consent. Leave everything else the hell alone.
I don’t even play video games with sexual themes, but I do play ones that contain 18+ violence. I assume those will be next on the chopping block.
Reminder that child beauty pageants are A OK.
Digital violence causes school shootings, don’t you know? Ignore the non-American rates, they don’t matter.
Tbh, its only a matter of time before the entire organization gets doxxed and the internet does what it does.
I look forward to eating popcorn when it happens.
Turns out some of them are probably kid diddlers
No hate like christian love.
For decent, church-going women
With their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces
Thanx but No Thanx - Ministry
Someone should check this groups computer ls and closets because they are projecting and those fuckers should have no impact on what us Americans or any other country wants to buy. This needs to be reversed Asap.
