The only rape and hurt I see are inflicted by the antiporn fascists on people who have done nothing wrong. As usual, corporate scum like visa and mastercard is ready to do anything the wicked people want just so they shut up to keep their corporate reputation clean.
Everyone is under the knife. These sick fanatics (don't confuse mentally ill people with women in general) claim that pornography “exploits the concept of a woman” and thus any pornography, including that which doesn't involve real actors, must be banned. Don’t look for logic or justice here, we’re talking about a deranged cult of hatred. Stand for your freedom is what you do when the fascists try to take it away.
itch acted shamefully in this situation. They freaked out and just suddenly shut down the entire nsfw section without any warning. Even though all of these games were approved by their admins and followed the site rules. You can’t just take projects down that strictly obeyed your rules during years of development, this is nonsense. Moreover, numerous pages that don’t even have any connection to the "no mercy" case suffered as well.
And if itch is changing the rules, they should give the creators time, like a year, to prepare and move their games and fan base elsewhere, instead of just deleting the pages without warning. And to be fair, they should first warn the devs that the game doesn’t comply with the new rules and offer to edit it, instead of just deleting it. It seems itch cares more what femcels will say on anti-sex forums than protecting its users and creators from unfair and illegal attacks from porn haters.
Is there a law prohibiting porn? Is there a court decision that the game must be taken down? Are there any actual people who suffered because of the game? itch should follow the law and protect the interests of its community, not bend over to please toxic and sick anonymous, who keep launching organized hate attacks on the internet - seeing that the companies comply. The only suffered ones here are fans who supported and donated to the projects, and creators who put thousands of manhours and literally years of their lives into work.
Being a NSFW creator today feels like a never ending manhunt, with numerous sick predators constantly being after you to destroy everything you made - hating you solely for the fact you exist.
