  Never thought I would be finding common ground on a controversial topic with a guy named petrol_sniff_king but here we are

  Fair, that’s just about how I feel.

  Although I do wish we could take action on obviously terrible media without fearing slippery slopes to mandatory chastity cages.

  I have to assume there are many non-zealot feminists who exist and are happy to see this gone. But all I see online is grumbling- it’s a little disturbing

  I mean isn’t this the gaming concept of scrub mentality? If I believe a specific moral act outweighs a minor dishonourable act, then shouldn’t I still do that act?

  Say I know someone is being beaten in a locked room. It is an important government room, and only key holders elected by the community should enter.

  I think it’s justifiable to kick down the door and stop the beating, because beating people up is against my morals so much more than ensuring proper procedure.

  But when if someone does that, and everyone endlessly gripes about how “passerbys should not have authority to enter the special room” instead of “well at least I’m glad someone isn’t being beaten up anymore”, then I have to wonder if most people are fine with beatings?

  Terrible analogy, non-equivalent etc, but do you see what I’m saying. Because I agree with you that card companies shouldn’t set the terms of what’s acceptable - I mentioned it in my first post.

  Using the card company to stop the distribution of tape material is a cheap tactic, but if preventing harm is winning, then saying it’s never justified is scrub mentality, as if beating someone by spamming hadoken doesn’t count.

  Patch the game later if it’s so unfair, this is the only way to get it removed right now.

  Okay, devils advocate time.

  What is the correct way to ban rape and anime CSAM games from Steam?

  Because I don’t buy “freedom” and “none of my business” as reasonable moral positions.

  I think it’s justified to want to prevent people from normalizing extreme content publicly.

  I think one of the greatest moral failings of modern society is the obsession with allowing companies, rich folk, and the deranged to build systems and communities of harm because society should always be neutral for some reason.

  I do agree that payment systems shouldn’t be the ultimate arbiters of what’s permissible, and general sexual content is a normal part of what it means to be human. But we should have limits.

  This conversation is completely dominated by people focusing on the “censorship.” As if we don’t justifiably ban snuff or actual films of these sorts of activities.

  Please think of the children? Yes, and think of the women these sorts of norms harm. Sometimes you really should care.

  This conversation is always completely without nuance, as if all censorship is objectively wrong. Sex games should be legal, unless they are absurdly harmful. And yes, I realize that line is sometimes hard to draw, but we absolutely should find it.

  Failing to have a reasonable way to remove something you find genuinely immoral, and defaulting to this “trick” I think is a respectable action for someone who is trying to be ethical to take, even if I don’t completely agree with all her views.

  ChatGPT 4 at the time. Right when it came out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you said Thank You once?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thanked it the first time I used it and it told me that thanking it wasn’t necessary because it is just a tool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I’d hate it too, but it feels so natural now. It helps that you can edit the button layout and their size in options.

  Unfortunately no external controllers are officially supported. They were planning on doing a console port so I was expecting this would be a thing at some point, but it feels like they’re moving all their spare devs to “the mmo”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firm disagree. League is more streamlined than DOTA, and this is actually more interesting IMO.

  For example the dance of trading and last hitting has enough depth that we don’t need denying to make things exciting. This allows us to focus more carefully on the variation involved with trading well without arbitrarily raising the skill ceiling.

  I don’t doubt some people enjoy the third layer DOTA adds, it’s just that I feel League allows people to focus more of what is fun in MOBAs rather than being an unending knowledge check.

  Wild Rift is even better for refining the genre further. For something obviously too simplified you could point to ML:BB, but Wild Rift is noticeably on a whole other level. There really is a sweet spot and I think it’s closer to League than DOTA.

  You can mute the chat now. You should be extra tempted by the superior mobile version Wild Rift. The controls feel like they’re meant to be a twin stick shooter, and piloting a champ is much more satisfying that way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  League of Legends is genuinely great, and Wild Rift is even better! I highly recommend them.

  ARAM (All Random All Mid mode) in LoL is hilarious and a great way to learn how to play
