so why should people have to see that on their computers in the first place?
You don’t have to see anything online, (unless you are on a mind rotting infinite scroll). When you want to see something or play a game you have to actively seek it out.
This issue is that once there is a precedent set for payment processors manipulating markets they wont stop. Just like the zombies on tiktok that say “un-alive” because they thin the word “died” will have them kicked off the internet, publishers and developers will get nervous that their game may not sit well with a payment processor for some reason like religion, racial heritage, or opinions on sexual orientation and gender, and they will be unable to sell their game.
I see you, just the truth is, sometiems you do see stuff you didn’t want to without seeking it out. The reason I know about incest games existing on steam is because it showed up on my recommendations or something once, without me actively seeking it out.
Same with other genres of games, they pop up when I’ve never had interest in that type of game to begin with.
But okay thanks for that second paragraph. I haven’t thought of that before. I guess just don’t see how they’d think “ok we got rid of the rape and incest, now let’s go Nazi on everything else”

I certainly didn’t want to see you on the internet today but I’m not calling to cancel Lemmy.

Only if you clicked the little checkbox to enable sexually explicit games to be recommended.

It doesn’t have to be full Nazi, a right wing CEO could decide that all trans content is immoral and should not be sold. This wingnut Australian group already has their sights set on non-hetero games.

I’m sorry you didn’t want to see someone asking a question. You didn’t have to answer it but thank you for your answer
I don’t remember clicking such a checkbox, but the last thing I’d expect to see regarding sexually explicit content is stuff like rape or incest.
