Its more perverted to want to control what other people are jacking to than it is to jack it to porn games. Keep your perversions to yourselves weirdos.

Anyone want to argue why porn video games are a benefit for society, or even a single persons health?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's not about porn games. It's about allowing third-party private interests to engage in censorship.

If Valve were to ban porn games from being sold on Steam because they find them distasteful, I wouldn't have a problem with this. But it wasn't Valve's decision. It was the payment processors who did it on behalf of interests that are apparently allowed to determine what is permissible on other people's platforms.

That's not okay.

So this is basically the same as the argument that drugs shouldnt be illegal? Is this just purely based on freedom?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

I couldn't care less... I care about what will be the next thing someone unaffected by me consuming it, would ban it and deprive me of it

No, but you might want to take a step back from that ledge advice a steep much huddy hill.

Frankly I think a lot of modern games are fucked up in their portrayal of the human body, and those relationship sim dress up games are kinda gross.

But I don't think this should be too to credit card companies to unilaterally decide.

I would say they aren't as bad as alcohol and gambling, which are pervasive...some of them are just...art...some aren't :D I could ask you the same about lots of other things, from music to literature. I just don't like book burning. If someone put their effort into creating something that they thought was worth creating, why is it up to anyone to ban it for any adult that wants to see it?

If someone wants it then they should be allowed it right? Great moral system you have there. Call it the "why not?" gospel.

Nice strawman.

"Pro life feminist"

A christian conservative group in drag,nothing to see here.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yep. They drive all the decent people out of anti porn feminist spaces, like the porn is misogyny subreddit. They need to be stopped.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Because they want to apply their rules to everyone, it's the entire point for religious assholes

Fuck all religions

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 hours ago

Fuck All Religions 😍

I’ll join that cult!

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, rules for thee not for me. Bunch of dildos.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 82 points 1 day ago (26 children)

I'm sick of religious sex freaks forcing others to adhere to their puritan fetishes

We need to ban organized religion
