Yes, it is, especially if you don't make it very clear what you don't take and it isn't simply done in the name of distinguishing yourself from other storefronts. When every storefront from Nintendo to Steam starts doing it, as they are with Japanese games, it is absolutely corporate censorship. GOG took all of these games at a point in time, uncensored, until suddenly they didn't and the publishers were left to take the brunt of having their games that would have been fine a year or two ago suddenly get censored or denied. There are limits to what corporations, especially ones that run platforms that artists and developers rely on for their business, should be allowed to get away with in the name of "muh private company/muh brand". You are seeing this on a global scale at this very moment with VISA/Mastercard/payment networks; will you seriously try to argue that it isn't censorship. You remind me of the "it isn't censorship unless the government does it" types.

They did it to one of my threads too. Another one they just deleted and warned me for. There seems to be an active attempt to suppress any discussion or attempt to get momentum against this issue on /v/ even though it's more vidya-related than ever. Fucking hell, I just want my cutesexy Japanese fanservice games. On paper anything that gets an ESRB rating below AO should be fine, but that hasn't been how it's worked for nearly a decade now. First Sony, then Steam, then Nintendo, now VISA and Mastercard. Fucking stuck-up cocksuckers, all of them!

What Collective Shout are engaging in is a form of heckler's veto, and it happens because they are able to make VISA and Mastercard do their bidding to begin with. In other words, even if you get rid of them, another group will take their place and act through VISA and Mastercard unless the power is taken from the credit card processors to deny them the means to enact this wide-reaching censorship. So rather than bitch at one screeching feminist org of many, you should direct your energy towards supporting bills that will curtail the power of payment processors to dictate content.

>There's a bill already in US Congress that would make this stuff from the payment processors and CC companies illegal. If you're an American, call your Congressman and Senators to urge they support it or (if already cosponsor) that it gets a vote. Have your name, zip code, return phone number, and the bill number handy when you do. Quantity of support is all those things care about.
