Going X fictional media is offensive it should not exist is a slippery slope that leads to LGBTQ being removed entirely, it has happened it will happen and it continues to happen. Look at collective shout for example they want to remove all instances of women and children from gaming entirely and the first step was to try to make it so all adult media gets removed which payment processors easily agreed to.

Slippery slope has been reached as payment processors have stuck their hands in how Steam does game update process for early access. Adult games in early access now are nearly impossible to update if the developers want to update/add adult content to existing.

Are you cis? Just curious, because sounds to me you care about more if whether or not your fetish porn games are available than the mental health and real life affects it has on the LGBTQT+ community. Could you clarify?

It does not matter what I identify as, though I doubt you will accept that as acceptable.

Payment processors are supposed to be just that: payment processors, not becoming a publisher as well. Not opposing this invasion of Steam means the payment processors will feel comfortable to intrude into other businesses, to decide what can or not be brought. That is censorship.

This quote from Martin Niemoller is very relevant: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

The payment processors want to control what is or is not brought, not fighting it will lead to catastrophe.

And agreed, I never said they SHOULD have control what is and isn't "acceptable." I'm talking on self-policing and self-reflection, never once have I said that was the way to go. 


And actually yes, it DOES matter your identity, because if you're cis than you can't relate to the LGBTQT+ experience and mostly see us as fetish objects, I'd wager. Though bet that 'isn't a big deal' in your opinion.
