So I shouldn't do this because my call will be ended and I will not be able to take up 25 minutes? I mean this as a genuine question, not as a snarky "gotcha!" reply to put you down for saying that. I did actually call up before, but gave up because I could not find a complaint part of the phone tree and was considering trying again with the strategy in the post, since there is a valid place in the phone tree for that to go.

I do get the comment about "if only people reacted that much against fascism," but as someone who learned about their own queerness via the internet and got their childhood homophobia destroyed by the internet? I guarantee banning all the porn games is going to inch up to the super SFW things that talk about LGBTQ+, and I'm pretty sure that 18+ topics will be redefined to "anything fascists don't like". So discussing your love for hurting those protesting the regime in violent detail is fine, but "maybe this government is bad" is now 18+ and you have to hand over a government ID to age verify. First I was not interested in sexual kink video games, so I did not speak out… This kind of restriction is already censoring protest videos. I don't know quite enough to say if this is entirely fascist but it does fit a nasty pattern fascism does often. So yes, people are showing up both for their game porn and antifascist reasons.
