lmfao ok bud.

vap·id /ˈvapəd/ adjective offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging.

So your solution to supposed censorship is to deny steam the autonomy to decide what they host on their store?

There is no moral cause here. Y’all just know nobody gives a shit about hentai games so you’re trying to spin this into something bigger when it’s purely fiscal.

Good thing they posted it to all those other communities in case you didn’t read it here eh?

this is another fight against liberal ideas

My proletariat brother, it is always, always, always, about the money with corporations.

They don’t give 2 shits about fuck as long as they make money.

End of the day not enough people buy hentai games for them to justify keeping them. It’s literally that simple.

Exactly! Except those games bring in millions to billions of dollars more in revenue.

They’re not gonna remove them from their store and it’s asinine to conflate no-name hentai games with international IPs like GTA and Dragon Age.

ANY adult game can have pornographic

Yes but they don’t. Come on.

A movie can have a sex scene, that doesn’t make it porn. A porno can have a story and run 90 minutes, that doesn’t make it a feature length film.

Karens have been coming after GTA since before you were born I’d wager. Before that it was Dungeons and Dragons. GTA exists. DnD exists. Hentai games will still exist.

IMO if you can call them overzealous pricks and bitches… you’d better be open to me pointing out that experiencing moral outrage over hentai games is not a good look or a healthy mental exercise.

Just confirming: Did they only ban hentai games? I did some research and one of the games they got banned was literally a rpg rape simulator. (And I thought ManHunt was the goat of fucked up games).

I’m not saying hentai games are inherently immoral, or shouldn’t exist. But them getting removed from steam does make sense to me. Porn goes on pornhub, not netflix.

I feel like they actually could make their own app with blackjack and hookers.

They should hang Netanyahu on October 16th to make the message clear.

I think American progressives need to focus on repairing their democracy before expecting it to reflect their values.

For a decade I’ve seen this pattern of progressives putting the carriage before the horse. You guys get lost in the issues and forget that you need to actually win the election for any positive change to materialize.

Lots of Do Nothing Cunts in the DNC… but this backlash against AOC is both misplaced and unproductive. You guys made this mistake with Harris and now your economy is likely permanently reduced.

If Harris had won at least you guys could have protested this issue without having the president sic ICE and active military on you.

Supposedly Trump wanted to sue people for defamation until his lawyers informed him that would mean the Epstein files would have to be made public to prove it wasn’t true.

what if they just come up with something

I think that was their original plan based on how they campaigned. But now I think the GOP wants to have their cake and eat it to… meaning getting rid of Trump but keeping his base. Trump tanking USA’s economic prospects was not part of the plan.

I wouldn’t be surprised we see an independent late night media company. Stephen pointed out that the business model for late night shows isn’t really working anymore.

There was a fake news that Stephen and Rachel Maddow would start a show. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/new-show-colbert-maddow/

Now that lemmy has grown I’ve gotten a lot more liberal with the block function. Fact that it’s right next to the reply button is nifty.

As someone who grew up using telephones… the last part is the most human chat bot interaction I’ve ever seen.

Yea I noticed this as well so I just switched to blocking people instead of responding. Like I’m not here to educate. If someone refutes what I’m saying with substance that’s different. But 90% of the responses I get are vapid disagreements with a dash of gish gallop.

That’s why I’m on lemmy.ca… Trauma bonding with my fellow Canadians lmao!

It was cathartic on my end as well. Thanks my dude!

At least we’re no longer alone bro

I can’t disagree with any of that. All I’ll add is the saying, “Religion is the opiate of the masses.”

Cuz I cannot ignore the connection between evangelical/charismatic Christianity and people susceptible to MAGA bullshit.
