Speaking of Bsky. This absolute bitch had his own thread locked because he insulted someone and saw the backfire coming -

Hey I saw that video on twitter

Cool. Why are you still on Twitter?

because people i like are still on twitter and not on bsky

Who? Like Tony Hinchcliffe?

what the FUCK does he have to do with me

Responses like this are why this will never be a serious topic on this forum.

Locked due to OP's request.

Quitting Twitter really made me realize I don't need to be a part of that kind of social media. I check Bluesky maybe once every two weeks or so.

Yet he posted this at ResetEra

Nah, people are just becoming tired of obvious troll posts like this, that barely has any thought being put into it.

Ah yes, the OP that joined the site on the first day and posted 2000 times since, waited 8 years to troll you and the rest of the Sony cult.

This sort of paranoia is what happens when "I'm not a fanboy, I have Xbox friends" Transistor is controlling the narratives.

You've gotten the numbers wrong, OP, but "the industry has matured and we don't care about exclusives anymore" or something like that.

The same argument that was used to devalue the Xbox for close to two decades in this community is suddenly beyond the pale and something only a troll would bring up when it can reasonably be used against the PlayStation brand.

It truly is a mystery why there's only a single gaming community that never felt the need to create an off-shoot board for their discussions.

And yet I bet the Gamergate/Sweet Baby Inc haters who ridicule censorship stays silent on this.

The usual chuds have been up in arms about the games being delisted from Steam, but yes, they are 100% silent so far on Ana and crew.

To them, Valens was part of the problem just for being a double faced jurno that bitched about “Vtubers supporting Trump” like being more morally bankrupt than being a pervert transwoman that openly writes fanfiction about raping women. 

Valens shouldn’t have been fired for reporting an actual news but he didn’t help himself.

[Boredfrom]

that was something that gets lost here. this is the foundation myth of the modern gop. if you were a republican supporting heinous shit, it wasn't enough to just disagree with democrats. you had to have the moral high ground. well what's a higher ground than wanting to expose a cabal of pedophiles who murder and use children for their adrenochromes or whatever. they deluded themselves into believing this is reality - and i don't know if it's because they are aware they hold shit regressive opinions and had to latch onto even the flimsiest of fabricated realities to keep moral superiority, or if they're unaware they hold shit regressive opinions and latched onto the flimsiest of fabricated realities because it actually makes sense in their worldview. but this is it. this is the thing they've been wanting for over a decade. it's part of what gets us pizzagate, info wars, gamergate, and maga.

the wild thing to me is that i think if they released anything with trump's name all over it, or gop donors/politicians or whatever, a good majority of that base would look past it and zero in on the democrats on the list, or headcanon away that trump and the republicans they like were there as part of some deep cover investigation. that instead they went the route to flatly deny the existence of any evidence connecting anyone to epstein makes me wonder if there's something there incontrovertibly damning. like shit - this made *me* into a conspiracy theorist when before july 2025, i really believed there was only a lot of smoke to reveal and that epstein really had just killed himself.

One of those things isn't like the others.

Coca-cola company is on the BDS. Forcing low income families on snap to boycott sugary drinks by not allowing them to buy it will actively hurt Coca-cola.

Y'all talking about removing small luxuries and cruelty are short sighted while the rest of us proud leftists see this as a victory for the future.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

so a feminist group trying to end the objectification of women has claimed credit for bullying payment processors into bullying steam into removing those porn games, again proving horseshoe theory true

(tweet shows up as not found on thebire? so I screenshotted it too)



https://www.collectiveshout.org/win-new-steam-policy-games-removed

A major win for women and girls!

Following our successful campaign and 70k petition to get rape simulation game No Mercy pulled from gaming platform Steam, we discovered almost 500 other games depicting rape, incest, sexual torture and child abuse.

We encouraged our supporters to email Payment Processors and call them to stop facilitating payments and profiting from these games on Steam - and 1067 did.

This week, we released an open letter signed by leading global anti-sexploitation organisations and individuals to senior executives at payment gateway companies including Mastercard, Visa and PayPal. Within just a few days, we’ve seen significant action.

As a result of our campaign, Steam has introduced a new rule to their policies and removed hundreds of rape and incest games.

Ana Valens of Vice wrote articles about this

if you know Ana Valens, you know...I think her (his) tweets have been posted in this thread numerous times, era has talked about them...there is too much to cover

this is probably what they're most famous for:

https://www.womenarehuman.com/transgender-journalist-fantasizes-about-trans-girls-violently-raping-women/

Transgender Columnist Fantasizes About ‘Trans Girls’ Violently Raping Women

US — Brooklyn, New York. On August 31, 2020, Ana Valens, Trans/Sex columnist for The Daily Dot, uploaded disturbing audio recordings, envisioning a future world with breeding facilities where: 

"you get to breed the shit out of that cis girl pussy. You can absolutely devastate that shit. You can fucking destroy it, murder it, it’s done. They have to cycle the girls out because that pussy is absolutely out of commission."

Valens, who simply goes by “Ana” on his verified Twitter account, outlines more aspects of these raping prisons, which include “breeding saunas”, “breeding book stores”, “breeding movie theatres”, “breeding adult schools”, and “breeding e-sports arenas”.

another representative Valens tweet:



loud, obnoxious, manic, hardline, insane articles and rhetoric for years now

And THIS Ana Valens...wrote Vice articles that it's concerning that a feminist group is abusing payment processors to censor steam

https://web.archive.org/web/20250719001107/https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-group-takes-responsibility-for-steams-payment-processor-censorship-policies-they-just-implied-pervert-nerds-cause-societys-problems/

Adult content creators, gamers, and concerned bystanders originally claimed the responsible party was a little-known anti-porn organization named “Collective Shout.” Now, the group is claiming responsibility for Steam’s new payment processor policies, with its co-founder calling impacted gamers “porn sick” and “brain rotted.” In one case, the organization even retweeted a notoriously anti-trans feminist who declared that “pervert nerds are responsible for most of society’s ills.” The retweeted feminist, a self-described “trans-exclusionary radical feminist,” proceeded to write under her post, “Evidence #1: trans.”

https://web.archive.org/web/20250719204151/https://www.vice.com/en/article/group-behind-steam-censorship-policies-have-powerful-allies-and-targeted-popular-games-with-outlandish-claims/

Over the past week, gamers have heavily criticized Australian group Collective Shout. The radical feminist organization has taken responsibility for changes to Steam’s payment processors that resulted in the removal of various adult games with taboo themes. As Collective Shout wrote on its official website today, the group has targeted nearly 500 games for removal on Steam, with 81 titles that the group still wants delisted from Valve’s storefront. As concerned consumers have dug into Collective Shout’s history to better understand its future plans, many have missed a key aspect hiding in the public eye: Collective Shout has the backing of several prominent anti-porn groups.

the links above are archive links, because the owners of Vice demanded that they be taken down, and Ana was fired





the thing that finally ended Ana's career was posting something of journalistic relevance which people deserve to know and which is indeed concerning

probably just because he's a porn sick gooner and looks at it as a slippery slope to removing lgbt rape fantasy games as well

oh no..

We can all agree removing problematic vtubers and removing problematic journalists is just fine. I think someone like Ana would agree.

I'm confused. 

Many of the marvel shills on Era told me they would never recast the old Avengers.

I would prefer if payment processors didn’t bat for Australian cat ladies complaining about porn and music.

This shit utterly disgusts me. This era of puritanical pearl clutching is so scary and dangerous.

The woman behind the Aussie group:



This is 1:1 what people on resetera claim and will get you banned if you disagree

[Potato]

Collective Shout has been around for more than a decade, and previously tried to get mainstream games like GTAV and Detroit: Become Human banned. Also a bunch of other shit that's mostly relevant to Australia. It's a bunch of crazy 3rd or 4th wave feminist cat ladies, and possibly baptist fundies. Supposedly.

Definitely. It was founded by Melinda Tankard Reist.

Nothing good ever came out of Mildura except the orange juice

Games journalism is so fucked in this Trump 2.0 era. Absolutely no company is going to give a shit about real reporting, just sloppification and capitulation to the interests of the uber-rich. I'm glad I got out of the field.

I would prefer if payment processors didn’t bat for Australian cat ladies complaining about porn and music.

it's one thing to complain to steam and get those games blocked on your little continent, which can then have its own internal slapfight over whether or not it was justified

it's something else when you reach for the top shelf and get the unaccountable "black box" of payment processors, the final boss of censorship, to make it happen globally

but the more events like this happen, the more people will notice and eventually say wait why do they get to tell everyone what to do

[Uncle]

Not to defend cunt cat ladies, but if your slippery slope begins at incest rape simulators, maybe you climbed too high...

but it doesn't start at Steam, we're already far down the slope

it started when payment processors were deputized as pseudo law enforcement when they were told they could get in trouble for facilitating illegal activities, and once they started making judgement calls about bad risks and possibly bad activities, it's been a long, slow slide

they've been doing this shit for decades to all sorts of groups, mostly on the fringes where few people noticed, it only recently started gaining attention when conservatives started talking about being debanked without recourse

a large, well-funded, influential company like Steam getting to the point where they throw up their hands and say "our TOS is now whatever the payment processors decide in the future" is the point that everyone begins to notice

not specifically related to this steam thing, there's currently a US bill going around that will at least attempt to force them to provide fair access to banking when your activities aren't illegal, so that's something

[Disco55]

I couldn't care less about these games, but i just heavy dislike Visa or MasterCard telling me what i can't spend my own money on.

And the same goes for these Safety Act Online laws such the ones in the UK and Texas. Would rather get a free VPN cause i'm not showing anyone my ID card.

[kaleidoscopium]

Like seriously, there is no fucking value including the opinions of those who believe Jews, black people, and other minorities should be exterminated in a discussion about equality for all. But, because the US doesn't actually have an apparatus for deplatforming, we have to keep hearing from people like that. It's legitimately infuriating how complicit multiple institutions are in elevating the worst people in this country, under this guise of fairness and tolerance.

Incest rape simulators dude 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Yes, I agree with you. I just like being contrarian for the lols

[Eric Cartman]

blows my mind that people are not more vocal against valve for this stuff

Half of you fuckers shamed people for games that aren’t even porn, but you are surprised that people are afraid to call this stuff? 

Even here we have people like this.

If things like the Korean film Old Boy start getting banned for sale due to its thematic matter, then I will not be okay with this.

If barely-even-mechanically-a-game extreme fetish pornography catering to incest rape fantasies can't be sold on a major mainstream storefront, I don't actually care, and I'm not going to hold it against Valve for being far more lenient than pretty much any other fucking mainstream media retail outlet is.
You're not buying that shit at Walmart, or on Amazon, or on any console either.

There are already restrictions on what kind of media is broadly available to purchase, and there always have been. If the people who want to buy this shit have to do it on a private discord via BTC, boo fucking hoo.

Those incest rape simulators are keeping certain resetera members off the streets.
