Because you have allowed the social discourse to be dominated by authoritarians, and have not supported the voices of your fellows that fight against fascism, you are now being overrun by fascists.

Enjoy. You have no one to blame but yourselves.

Collective Shout is a self-described feminist non-partisan organization, but has alleged ties with anti-trans and conservative organizations. The group has developed a reputation as a sort of puritan crusade that targets everything from Detroit: Become Human to Tyler, the Creator.

This one quote tells me what kind of people Collective Shout are. First, Collective Shout will go after the low hanging fruit and then will move to LGBT themed games.

People are blaming Collective Shout but crazy lobbying groups have always existed. Visa and Mastercard are solely responsible for acquiescing. Maybe it's time we stop caring so much what people on the political extremes have to say?

It'd be kind of funny if some rep from steam just came out and said, 'Wait, the Aussies wanted this? Put it all back! Add on a few more new ones even. This won't stand.'

All I wanna know is how fucked up and perverted the porn that they watch is. Anyone taking this hard of a stand against something surely must be projecting.

This group is shooting for very easy targets and they celebrate like they've won hard battles. It's self indulgent but ultimately unimportant, nothing of value was lost here. If they keep it up long enough and choose a target people are actually willing to fight for, things might turn out differently.

Simple fix is to call in suspicion of child porn on their computers. Their statement look a lot like projection to me.

Every accusation is a confession for these sex-negative types. The guy who shrieks the loudest about gender non-conforming people being abominable and vile is usually found 6 months later in Thailand smoking hash and hiring kathoey escorts.

"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

Ah, so this was a rational, scientific study-based campaign centered around ensuring the health and well-being of society, and not at all an emotionally-charged crusade to take material away from people you find repulsive based on content you personally object to. Got it.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/ is the group.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/our_team and https://www.collectiveshout.org/collective_shout_board_members - Ensure their names and faces haunt them for every job they go for next.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/partners - Let them know your unhappy with this group that they are supporting.

Alright, time to research and rat these idiots out. The fact that they tried to ban Detroit: Become Human is enough for me to know that they're not gamers at all and are just cookers.

She sounds deranged.

i wonder what her own perversion is. It's likely quite disturbing - nobody has that much anger and scorn over other people's sex lives and a healthy sex life of their own.

Is it projection again?

"Australian anti-porn group has too much power."

"Pro life feminist"

I give my left leg if this is not another TERF group

I'm just happy that for once it's not one of us Americans ruining things for everyone. Still part of the anglosphere, though, so not surprised.

Anti-Porn people are fascists PERIOD, oh I heard they (as in the group) like cuties.

We need to document these low-lives & make sure they never get employed ever again. (Because it's what they'd do)

Australia is also the same place where they had to switch the word "drugs" out with "chems" in Fallout, and video games have to have green blood. That whole place is ass backwards and upside down, as one would expect given its geographical location.
