  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?

  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 babes 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?

    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.

        Should be easy to refute then but somehow you forgot to do that.
