- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 hour ago:
Yes, the statement is in the article, which gives background context.
- Comment on Epstein puts my morality into perspective 1 day ago:
Yeah absolutely this. I live in a country that pairs a fair wage to service workers, so the 3 or 4 times I’ve actually tipped over the years has been able to show gratitude when someone has gone above and beyond on what is a special occasion for me. But until you have fair wages, all you’re doing is paying a secret fee that’s left off the menu for the worker to be able to survive.

I’ll add as well, the only reason any of this was possible is FOSTA/SESTA and that’s entirely on the US.

Very cool to misgender a trans woman, definitely care about TERFs.

Oh I understand now lovely, you just don’t know what a TERF is! How silly of me. So, a TERF is a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. They call themselves feminists but they aren’t really pro-women. Does that make sense little one? 😊

Is that what you think you’ve done here? Sweetie, all you’ve proven is that Murdoch is, indeed, a piece of human excrement. Something I admitted to way up there ^^ somewhere. Please explain how that makes us the biggest TERF exporter, because I fail to see the logic, and our laws & politics seem to contradict you. Come on sweetie, I know you’re clever enough too!

That’s nice sweetie.

Whatever you need to tell yourself. ✌️

More than half of that is just Murdoch, which we covered already?
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 3 days ago:
You generalised to all porn games. Now you’re moving the goalposts again. This move by Visa/Mastercard has been affecting all NSFW games. Just like I don’t think it’s objectionable to have sex depicted in a movie, I don’t think it’s objectionable to have sex in a game. Adults can choose what content they consume. Payment processors should be forced to be common carriers.

That doesn’t mean you get to try and say Australia is one of the biggest exporters of TERFs because of this one incident mate. It’s not like we don’t have 'em, but they aren’t destructive to the level of the Yanks & Brits.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 3 days ago:
You’re obviously just trying to twist my words. Porn has to be consensual, otherwise it’s just abuse material. Hence the term CSAM being advocated rather than CP these days.
- 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 3 days ago:
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.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 3 days ago:
Porn is art, there’s no compromising on that without throwing someone under the bus. Respectability politics == throwing people under the bus for not being “respectable” enough. It’s been a huge issue in LGBTQ advocacy for a really long time.
- 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 4 days ago:
The biggest TERFs in the planet seem to be either Australian
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.
- 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 4 days ago:
…whut? Are you American? Because if so that’s bloody rich. I’ll cop to Murdoch, that’s on us, I’m sorry for that. But what the hell else do we export that’s “fucking garbage”?
- 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 4 days ago:
By all accounts they aren’t religious, we don’t have *gestures broadly to American Evangelicalism* going on here in Aus. They just seem to be TERFs and SWERFs.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 4 days ago:
I never said that it can’t be effective, I just don’t believe we should all suffer a massive erosion in our privacy for it. There are other ways to deal with crime.

I dunno, I personally think respectability politics is garbage but ya know, To Each Their Own.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 4 days ago:
Replying my same comment from elsewhere to you as well:
Yes but the payment processors didn’t say “you’re not allowed to sell this game with our service” they said “you’re not allowed to sell this game period or we walk”.

Someone’s drunk the “governments only erode our privacy to stop terrorism” coolaid yeesh.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 4 days ago:
You and the person above don’t seem to understand the duopoly that Visa and Mastercard have on the global payment processing system. As well, you wouldn’t be boycotting them directly, but businesses that are forced into that duopoly. Unless you and OC are business owners yourself?
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 4 days ago:
It’s not at all countries, with the recent round of censoring on Steam and Itch it was an Australian TERF/SWERF advocacy group called Collective Shout. But other policy changes have been linked to their sister orgs in places like the US. They got 1000 people to complain until the policy was changed.

You really wouldn’t take a bit of someone else’s poop in your butt to cure a chronic illness?
- Comment on Woman says faecal transplant saved her and could help many more like her 4 days ago:
Yeah there are plenty of time’s that one-off case studies are vital to psychological scientific progress. Phineas Gage was crucial to early understandings of which parts of the brain did what, but we aren’t exactly going to shoot railroad ties through people’s head just to prove those things, are we?

- Comment on If the economics of broadening or lifting Australia’s GST are challenging, the politics are horrendous 5 days ago:
More GST revenue can pay for cuts to income and company tax rates, for example. This shift provides a structurally more stable tax revenue base, and sharpens incentives to work and invest.
Go to fluffing hell.

It’s not just the for-profit corporation, there’s also governance issues. Basically, the community elected certain positions and then had the rug pulled out from them such that no elections would be held again.
In the name of the Gitea Community who elected you last year, we welcome the creation of a for-profit company that allows you to make a living out of Gitea.
[…]
We believed you when you promised to pass along the ownership of the Gitea project to your elected successors. This promise is part of an essential bond between you and the strong Community of volunteers, as well as all those who rely upon our collective efforts.
With that in mind, you can understand our surprise when we learned on October 25th, 2022 that both the domains and the trademark were transferred to a for-profit company without our knowledge or approval.
