“That’s why Ukie strongly supports the use of robust classification systems like PEGI across all platforms, including those hosting adult or experimental content,” the statement reads. “We believe payment providers and platforms alike should have confidence in trusted age rating systems and the enforcement mechanisms behind them.”

    Collective Shout, the anti-p*rnography pressure group

    Did they seriously censor their own article, on their own website

      Likely search engine ranking. The internet is getting worse every fucking day.

        Surfing porn on Google vs. Bing is an eye opening experience.

        Google: “Fuck it all up. We don’t want to be seen as a porn engine.”

        Microsoft: “How do we beat Google in search?!”

        “Make porn pics and images easy?”

        Worked!

        But then you get weird shit. One day searching “tiny titties” gets you no NSFW results, the next it’s flooded with 9yo Russian kids. “Flat chested”? Meh, one day it’s “flats”, the shoes, the next, 9yo Russian kids again. Fuck me. I like little titties, OK?! I just want to see them on women. Preferably “asian amateur lesbian cosplay tiny titty white lingerie face sitting lesdom wedding dress” kinda women. Is that too much to ask?! I was told this was the future. :(

        Do search engines not want articles about porn or do they just don’t like the word? Because substituting one letter doesn’t do shit if you want to obscure what you’re talking about.

      Because THEY decided that THEIR opinions are better than everyone else’s, so YOU have to listen to THEM, willingly or not.

      Something something free speech and all that jazz.

      Because nobody will ban that legally, and people paying for adult stuff themselves naturally have made a decision.

      So these people (the Russian word is pidor) are trying to sneak a block someplace else.

      They probably are worried about litigation, and shareholder profits. It’s always about shareholder profits.

        Nah, neither take works for 'em. Litigation? Being neutral bypasses all threats of bias. Profits? Porn is the only reason the internet took off as a profitable venture.

        I’d bet some top dogs bowed to a little pressure for fear of bad publicity. That’s how these tiny religious groups threaten. That’s all the juice they got. And who’s going to stand up and say, “Nah. Fuck yourself. We want our porn.”

        Well, I guess we all did stand up! (Do I still need to make calls, or is this thing done?)

        Because talking is legal.

        You shouldn’t bombard those people with emails or phone calls or order pizza without toppings/cheese. Don’t harass them and make their life miserable, don’t ruin something they enjoy. Don’t use OSINT to find more about them and certainly don’t ask “where is your god now?” when they break down crying. Don’t clog their systems with trashdata. Just don’t raid them.

        Talk with them in a civilized manner. Look at human history and you will see that every conflict can be settled if you are just willing to use words and nothing else.

          An admirable sentiment, but I feel like you and I read very different history books.

          That’s obviously not true. Many people can not be reasoned with. Some people are not reasonable.

          Would Putin stop the Ukraine invasion by talking? How many people have tried?
          Would Hitler have stopped with words?
          Would Epstein have stopped raping girls with words?

          You’re living in an idealized notion of the world. Sometimes you need more than just words.

          You cannot reason with religious extremists. They believe they have the one true view of the world and nothing will convince them otherwise. They believe they are fulfilling gods wishes.

          Nah, make their lives hell within the confines of the law. They aren’t going to listen so it’s a way better use of your time to fuck with them. Make them feel uncomfortable in the world because they do not belong.

    Steam doesn’t have to, you fuckwits. Collectively shouting your beliefs across the world and forcing others to bend to your religion isn’t worth a response. Go fuck yourselves.
