    Great way to make people start pirating games again. Just like movies and series saw a huge rise is pirating recently. Its almost as if pissing people off has the opposite effect of what you want it.

      They don't actually care about that. Stop humoring their excuses. They're just prudes.

      True. The group pressuring the payment companies were originally a christian group. They can indeed be very prude

        Shouldn't porn games be preferred to actual porn? Less risk of women being sexually exploited when making software?

            Supposedly the organization pressuring the payment companies are actually Australian, but it's mostly a fuck hypocritical Christians moment.

              I thought I read it was both, but either way it's good not to assume it's always American. The whole world is problematic at times.

                It's really awesome when a group from a foreign country and a foreign religion gets a dictate how I as an American I'm allowed to purchase legal products in my nation.

                        Yeah it's important to note that being prudish is almost as much as a smoke screen as being feminist (*almost* I'm sure they are actually puritans as well); their actual goal is to shut down discussion of abuse against women and children. They want to end anything they might empower them to say no, or prompt the discussion that does so. Otherwise they wouldn't try to get once human pulled from steam for it's depiction of domestic abuse.

                          1) not just one country. 2) this is different because no one actually *made* anyone do that. That I know of, no company was going around threatening to cancel services if other companies didn't stop using the term, and certainly no one large and critical. A social pressure to change a word is different from a financial pressure to remove a product.

                            I don't like it either and they're from my country. I also don't like when America exports its bullshit either, mind you.

                                  You argued that real porn is bad because of exploitation of women, but there's so much porn out there where that simply isn't true. An obvious example would be gay (male) porn where no women are present. Not that I disagree that there isn't a huge problem of exploitation of women, or staggering amounts of reinforcement of bullshit gender roles, or countless other problems. But, genuinely, not all porn is bad.

                                        Christianity is inherently anti-feminist. It’s right there in the book they bash so much.

                                          I am not talking about the slavery but about the nomenclature. Only one country had a problem with its use in technology and we all had to change.
