Simple fix is to call in suspicion of child porn on their computers. Their statement look a lot like projection to me.

Every accusation is a confession for these sex-negative types. The guy who shrieks the loudest about gender non-conforming people being abominable and vile is usually found 6 months later in Thailand smoking hash and hiring kathoey escorts.

Anti-Porn people are fascists PERIOD, oh I heard they (as in the group) like cuties.

We need to document these low-lives & make sure they never get employed ever again. (Because it's what they'd do)

https://www.collectiveshout.org/ is the group.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/our_team and https://www.collectiveshout.org/collective_shout_board_members - Ensure their names and faces haunt them for every job they go for next.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/partners - Let them know your unhappy with this group that they are supporting.

"Our (winning!) campaign calling on payment processors including Visa and Mastercard to stop processing payments for rape and incest games available on Steam and other platforms has received global media attention."

Well that is not what I was expecting to find on their site...

Did no one play "Detroit Become Incestual Rapist"?

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah I was too busy with "epstein island adventure: the trump files"

It seems like politics is more likely to turn someone into a rapist than video games will.

I'm just happy that for once it's not one of us Americans ruining things for everyone. Still part of the anglosphere, though, so not surprised.

I'm sure if you dig deep enough into the people involved you'll crawl out with a couple pedos, a few rapists, and more than likely some dudes who are into some really kinky shit.

it's always the case, always. whenever there are groups like this pushing their agenda they're secretly trying to justify themselves.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Apparently they already got caught defending a pedo staffer

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Yup something tells me they like trump

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alright, time to research and rat these idiots out. The fact that they tried to ban Detroit: Become Human is enough for me to know that they're not gamers at all and are just cookers.

I'm trying to follow the money and can't find much but there are very strong ties to the Christian/Baptist community, which means that there is an above 0% chance that Advance Australia has or is providing funding.

Their partners and partner's partners are anti-sex (such as CATWA who believe that all prostitution is not a job but is a form of sex trafficking and appears to be against the sex industry), anti-abortion, and all board members and their associated partners are very painfully white.

There's also an association with the NCJWA, whose president appears to be pro Zionist and has lauded Jillian Segal as a voice of moral clarity (anti-semetic envoy for government pushing to reduce protest rights, husband made a $50k donation to Advance Australia).

Hilariously, one of their partners is called 'Campaign Against Sex Robots'.

Anyway, in summary, this appears to be a very well funded right wing puritan religious group whose only games experiences are in the political realm rather than PC.

I don't know how Collective Shout aren't seen as more of a pariah group here like Westboro Baptist Church are in America.

"All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight," Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted

Ah, so this was a rational, scientific study-based campaign centered around ensuring the health and well-being of society, and not at all an emotionally-charged crusade to take material away from people you find repulsive based on content you personally object to. Got it.

Melinda speaks like she's on 4chan

There's a lot of overlap between the most terminally online "rad"""fem""s and kiwifarmers, so there's also a nonzero chance you're right.
