  • If I call you a terrorist I guess I can expect you to be picked up tomorrow morning?

    i mean isn’t that exactly what’s happening in the US right now

    in a world that’s as hostile to survivors of SA as ours, yea i believe them when they make accusations. does this hold up in court? no of course not, of course you need proof*, but it’s worth mentioning that many times accusations can’t even make it to court because police doesn’t believe survivors either!

    * well except if you’re white and the person you’re accusing isn’t. there “justice” is waaaay more lenient about what proof is, and the police has a much easier time believing you too. but that’s more telling of the racism of the justice system than of how SA survivors just always get what they want




  • mention of sexual assault

    not OP, but for example the first game collective shout went after a few months ago (“no mercy”) was explicitly a game about raping women to make them obedient. this is bad not because its NSFW, it’s bad because it’s rape apologia, and a misogynistic hate game.

    to me, it’s not much different than “chad vs the gay nazis”, another hate game (with a pretty self-explanatory name) that was released around the same time and was also quickly delisted.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if other games that just got delisted were as bad as no mercy. but also, the blanket banning of anything NSFW (or even just kinky) sets a terrible precedent.









  • microsoft: we just fired entire studios that we bought recently. we are building a master collection of IPs to do nothing with other than passively profit off of them forever using game pass. part of this master plan is to cause large instability in the video game industry through aforementioned mass layoffs. also we are quite literally helping a genocide.

    lemmy: oh. that’s kinda shitty but I liked oblivion remastered :)

    nintendo: we made our game 80$

    lemmy: if anyone even thinks about liking some of your stuff they should be burned at the stake.

    <srs> obviously im exaggerating to make a point, and no if you ask I don’t like nintendo. fuck them. but I think the reaction here is a bit disproportionate. a company could do all the evil in the world but as long as they don’t touch the sacrosanct consumer, it’s all good in the eyes of a gamer! </srs>
