Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal

  Multiple times now you've accused people of being American for saying that Australia outputs some garbage right wing stuff. Aside from the vampire fuck Rupert Murdoch himself, here is a list:

  1. Sky News Australia (especially through YT and social media)
  2. GB News (based on Australian right-wing media)
  3. News Corp Australia
  4. The Daily Telegraph
  5. The Australian
  6. Andrew Hastie
  7. 7News (this is arguably one of the worst as they sprinkle facts into their narrative to cloudy the waters)
  8. Herald Sun
  9. The Spectator Australia
  10. Quadrant Magazine

  All of these media sources and publications output to the rest of the world.
  It doesn't matter about "well the UK has more. well the US has more".
  Australia is exporting fucking garbage.
  This isn't a race to bottom.

    More than half of that is just Murdoch, which we covered already?

        Oh, and the Murdoch Family Trust owns 40% of the Fox Corporation (which owns the US based Fox News).
        So really your argument is the same that a heroin addict might have:
        "If you discount my heroin addiction, I'm doing great!"

      Ok, so you are exporting garbage. Good to know.

  The biggest TERFs in the planet seem to be either Australian or British, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Also, Murdoch has caused untold damage to America that is gonna take decades or even a century to fix.

    What?? As a trans Australian that’s just completely rubbish. We aren’t having the same anti-trans rhetoric issue here that the US and UK are. In fact the biggest issue we had with TERFs was when Posie Parker came and did a speaking tour.

      Seems like while Australia doesn’t export that much bad stuff, the stuff that does get exported somehow manages to be even worse than other places, for some reason. Collective Shout is a group of TERFs, and Murdoch… well we don’t need to ttalk about him.

        Sure, Collective Shout is a TERF group but you tried to make the claim that Australia is one of the biggest sources of TERFs on the planet and that’s just rubbish. I’m going to assume you’re American as well.
