Thread 717438908

>It's been weeks of anger and confusion for fans and game developers ensnared in the debacle between gaming storefronts — like Valve and itch.io — and the payment processors that service them. Who, exactly, is responsible for the recent crackdown on adult games? The answer changes depending on who you ask. That vagueness has been accompanied by an avalanche of actions from fans, developers, and even storefronts as folks unite against the possibility of video game censorship.
>Meanwhile, gamers have mobilized en masse to deluge Visa and Mastercard by any means necessary, including clogging their phone lines, sending emails, and calling in to investor meetings.

This is not going to be solved, there's no happy ending here. The internet will get more and more closed off and cucked as time goes along and there is nothing any of us can do.

informational superiority is the most efficient traditional method of control, and all modern power structures are based on it, but the age of mass information takes that away. We live in an age of those power structures gradually breaking down and losing to anarchy. Of course they will attempt to resist that, push back, censor shit, but there's not stopping technological progress and no regaining lost control.

I always used steam gift cards, paysafe, klarna or bought on key reseller using the later two methods.

Wonder if the real reason behind all of this is to usher in digital IDs. If that’s the case I’ll stop buying games and just catch up on my game catalog of hundreds of already owned games I still haven’t played

Founder of Collective Shout made a book

>he chose porn over a nagging psycho bitch
Who woulda guessed

>>717438908 (OP)
What's messy about this? Collective Shout admitted they called and emailed Visa and Mastercard's payment processors thousands of times to get their draconian Australian religious censorship in place using the game No Mercy to represent what games can be purchased with their cards. The processors have been under scrutiny before for allowing purchases of child porn so they got spooked.

Payment processors went to Valve and Itch demanding all rape and incest games be taken down citing Mastercard's rule that allows them to protect their brand from damage. When gamers sent angry email and calls of their own Mastercard lied about saying they don't make judgements on what legal games players are allowed to buy, trying to shift the blame on payment processors so they look better. Unless there is new info this can be resolved by Mastercard reigning in their vague policy like it was before. This is purely them overstepping so they can avoid brand damage.

>>717445916
How is that even possible? A porn is just an image on screen, it doesn't have a self-lubricating warm hole.
Bitches complaining about this shit probably forgetting to mention, that they were either using an access to sex as leverage, or just got morbidly fat beyond any limits.

Who the fuck is collective shout? Does collective shout have an army? Or an intelligence service? Or an assassin crew? What's their leverage over international financial corporations playing vital role in the global economy?
No, it's just a bunch of rabid hags, it can't do anything except screech. 100% of decision making ion subject was on Visa and Mastercard side. They could have just as well posted a huge COLLECTIVE SHOUT CAN EAT SHIT announcement on their main pages, and nothing would have happened.

But they chose to fully accommodate those demands. Which can mean, that agency was also on payment processors side, tehy've just decided to bring in some shitty activists to use as a false target to distract attention. Thankfully, it seems to have failed, and people are going for the actual responsible parties.

No doubt. Still it didn't take much for a relatively small group to enact pseudo legislation by concern trolling. There needs to be more laws protecting fair banking so payment processors can do whatever they want.

That’s part of the psyop anon the truth is everyone lost already. The system perpetuates itself for no one’s benefit. Le epic elite class were supposed to be functionally immortal by now, instead they are senile boomers either dead or about to die and are terrified of it. The inheritors of said system are functionally retarded, in many cases literally inbred, nepo babies who are wholly incompetent. Everything from policy to the economy is dictated through algorithms derived from mass data collection and surveillance. All meaningful technological progress in the last several decades were created to serve this goal. From higher definition audio and video, from the internet itself, to the cloud, to streaming, etc. It exists to create a society in which retard nepo babies let the system run itself. But the system is not human, it doesn’t actually serve anyone but itself.

We quite literally live in an AI slop dystopia. It’s fake and gay.

You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form.

One is mocking retards who are whining that the rape simulator is not allowed on the mainstream platform, that people are calling changes the stellar blade devs made by themselves from early versions to release version "censorship" and the other is complaining that all adult themes might be getting banned, not because a platform decides it doesn't want to sell it, but because a payment processor decides what you can and can not buy.
These are not the same, and if you think they are, you are retarded. It is the difference between "this bakery does not want to make you a swastika/rainbow cake" and "your bank won't allow you to use your money to buy a swastika / rainbow cake".
Also unrelated but:
>But women fantasize about rape
Yes, but it is entirely different if someone fantasizes about being a "victim" of a violent act in a safe fantasy environment, vs someone pushing that fantasy as entertainment from the perspective of the perpetrator. Once again if you think those are the same, you're fucking retarded.

>>717449214
Again: A platform defending they don't want to publish the rape simulator game is not censorship. It's their house rules. Just as you can't upload porn to youtube, or gore videos to pornhub, you can't sell rape games on steam. That's not censorship, that's their house rules. You CAN NOT force someone, to sell the product you want them to sell, and that is 100000% in Valves right to decide, even if you think they're cucked ass losers for that.
THIS NOW however, is not valve deciding: "Hey, we don't want to sell rape games" this is a payment processors FORCING the decision on valve, which is entirely different, and worth fighting.
If you think someone deciding "No, I do not want to sell that" and someone saying: "I don't want YOU to sell that, so you'll have to stop" are the same thing I can only reitterate: You are fucking retarded.

No you fucking retard. It comes down to the fact that you can not force someone to sell something they do not want to fucking sell.
If you have store that is selling pictures and videos people give you. You can have rules on which pictures and videos you accept. So someone like me doesn't come in and forces you to put up pictures and videos of me raping your sister and killing your mother in your store. You are in fact allowed to say: "Fuck that noise, I'm not selling that shit in my store". And that is FINE.YOU as the STORE OWNER are allowed to decide what YOU want to sell, that's your god given god damn right, you inbred troglodyte.
HOWEVER if now fucking American Express sends you a letter and says: "Hey, we hate red, stop selling any videos or pics of the color red or we won't let anyone pay you with our credit cards any more" then that's an ENTIRELY FUCKING DIFFERENT matter. And that is the situation we have.
Again: You can not force youtube to host porn, you can not force pornhub to host gore, fuck, there's even shit you can't upload to 4chan. That's not censorship. That's house fucking rules.

>>717450816

There's a whole billion of chinks constantly subjected to internet blocking, and they've accumulated colossal experience in dealing with it. All the cutting age unblockable solutions come from China.

Wrong in the first sentence already. In the first case, Steam did NOT want to sell games, that's the entire fucking point, retard. And it was not a third party deciding not to sell them, it was steam itself deciding not to sell them.
>>717451047
They force their rules upon you, the same way a supermarket forces their "do not fuck the produce" rule onto you. Having house rules on what you allow in your own place of buisness, is not "censorship" it's their right to decide who and what they do buisness with. If you try to drive into a Harley shop with a Kawasaki and they tell you to fuck off, you can't scream "censorship". The same way if steam on their own says: "Hey, no rape games" then that's their fucking choice.
And again: some fucking payment processor making that decision FOR steam, is entirely fucking different and anyone who thinks these two are the same, is fucking braindead.

A payment processor is also a voluntary and consent-based business, so they actually literally have the same rights to obstruct business as stores, developers and consumers do.
You need to demonstrate that it is required to use a payment processor for some legal compliance to argue that their relationship with other economic participants is asymmetric. For example, if a consumer has a right to return products within a time frame for a full refund, and this needs to be guaranteed, but cannot be guaranteed without a third party service, then that third party service cannot implement any policy that is different from law, as their service is required for legal compliance.

Flat Earth? Nah, this isn’t about middle school conspiracies — we’re talking about theoretical physics and propulsion systems that make fossil fuels look like campfire tech. If that sounds outlandish, remember: 20 years ago, a smartphone sounded like sci-fi too. Laugh all you want, but breakthroughs don’t wait for consensus — and suppression has a long history when it threatens billion-dollar empires.

>>717452093
Only reasonable answer in this thread. You are completely correct, that a payment processor has the same rights to decide what you can purchase through them. 100%.
My answer to that is: While it is 100% true that a payment processor has the right not to do buisness with anyone they do not want to, it is generally established norm that you can use your CC to purchase anything legal you want. If a CC company has a strong stance against any sexual or violent content, then that needs to be something a customer needs to be aware off from the start. (such as youtube making clear that it is not a porn hosting website and will not tolerate pornographic material). It is also extra scummy, to not only block payment for specific sexual purchases, but to threaten to block all payments to a specific store, if they do not stop stocking products the CC company does not like.

The truth about these recent events is that while credit companies are the originators of the market obstruction, they do not in fact pressure stores directly. They make their requests and threats at banks, and the banks extend their pressure onto their customers. Therefore a mandatory question is if banks are in the same position as credit cards.

>A SECOND CALLER?!

>>717439632
We do. Those things are called LAWS. Those things are enforced by GOVERMENTS. Those things are called the rating agencies like the ESRB, CERO, MPAA, RIAA, where they rate EXACTLY how offensive shit is to openly available, reviewable standards.

Visa and MC's move is baffling. Normally you expect them to be a "common carrier" like a phone company or a bank. They make zero judgments or interpretations on who you send your money to, except for laws and risk of fraud, and are incredibly clear on exactly why and where any transaction fails.

Visa and MC are ignoring ALL of this shit. Having some sort of internal rating method of their own. The reputational risk for ignoring all these rating agencies and doing ALL the work on their own, at their own expense is baffling.

At the very least Visa and MC being crystal clear on their method and the NAMES of the people who made the calls on this shit is more than reasonable, and I'm suprised it hasn't happened yet.

They did, until they got blamed for other people's child porn.

>>717438908 (OP)
This article misses the point. The problem isn't censorship itself. It's the lack of control of censorship. ONE entity has the power to censor EVERYTHING and that's the problem. If Steam or PlayStation or whoever wants to censor shit, then fine, we will just move to a new platform. But when all the platforms need to use VISA, that's a major issue giving 1 entity too much power.

Video game sellers already have filters that remove adult games from the sight of underage children.
Children do not have purchasing power, unless parents give them that ability. Meaning, that if a child wants to go onto steam and purchase a game, he needs to ask his mom or dad for the funds to do this. At which point, the parents are supposed to ensure that their money is being used to purchase age appropriate games. In fact, the parents should have set up the child's steam profile in the first place, ensuring that all parental checks are in place.

If a child is capable of lying to steam and pretending to be an adult, that's the result of a negligent parent, who gives over their credit card without question. The parents are not incapable or powerless.

>>717456585
They would be in a better position if they cited that, and laid out exactly where their position was going to be, if that's the central crux of their decision making here. Otherwise, they're taking the flack worldwide for the 9th circuit being idiots.

But I don't think that's all that's going on. They debanked gun retailers well before that case.

It takes ten minutes tops to restrict steam and any consoles parental controls to only allowing ESRB-rated E games, or any worldwide equivalent. It takes zero minutes to simply not give your child your credit card. It takes ten seconds to disconnect nearly any device from the internet. It takes five minutes to give your home wifi a password. It genuinely takes more time to give a child a device, internet, and your money than it takes to take it away, and by default your child has none of these things. If parents choose not to parent, theres no excusable reason others should be further punished.

SJW's do not give a fuck about you being angry. They do not want you on their website, they do not give a fuck if you think "sexual comments in an online game is equal to rape" is the most retarded thing you have ever heard in your life. They post that shit because they believe it with their entire ass, and they want people who also care about social justice to believe it too. They do not give a singular fuck about the people who are outraged by that. In fact: They would be very happy if the people who are outraged by it, never ever come to their fucking website.

There's a pronounced gender gap in pay, too: The survey showed that female employees' salaries ranged between 67 percent and 90 percent of those of their male counterparts, depending on the field.

>Female game developers also encounter resistance when they point out that many elements in games are designed to cater to heterosexual men.

>Writer Wendy Despain said she wants to pave the way for a better future. "If I can improve the games going out today, the next generation of gamers will be less sexist," she wrote. Game designer Erin Hoffmann said her reason to make games is that "the form, the art, so desperately needs female perspectives."

Currently, Pix is trying to do exactly that.
>Pix is an instant payment platform created and managed by the monetary authority of Brazil, the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB).[1] It enables instantaneous payments and transfers in Brazilian real 24 hours a day and without interruptions, even outside banking hours, during holidays or weekends, with no fees.[1][2][3]
Unlike Shitsa and Mastercuck is not a private entity. But provided by the central bank of brazil and has no fees. Is a good idea to voice your support for its introduction into America or other countries instead of depending on Visa and Mastercard.

Again: That is how the far right operates and you are just wrongfully assuming that lefties are doing the same, just with a reversed moral compass to rightoids. And you are conflating the fact that they do like to dunk on people with outrage baiting. Those are not the same.
A leftie, by definition can not use these same tactics. A leftie has zero interest in getting a bunch of 4channers attention to their website or videos. Lefties are in the buisness of empathy. That's their whole fucking thing. They have empathy for shit around them, and they want others to have empethy as well. As such, the people they're trying to reach, are people they can convince. They are FULLY fucking aware that they are NEVER going to convince a bunch of 4channers, so they do not give a fuck if their headlines make you angry. Trust me, ask any of them: "Hey, if you could block 4channers from seeing any of your articles, would you?" they would most likely say yes, because you are not convincable. Nobody on this website is ever gonna go: "You know what? Maybe Anita Sarkesian did have a point about feminism in video games". Nobody here is gonna go: "I should read some bell hooks" or start wondering why all the youtubers they watch, and all their friends only care about wokeness ruining games, but do not seem to make the connection that greedy publishers are always involved when another game gets a battle royale, or a fucking battle pass, or gets turned into an always online looter shooter live service game. Why people care more about blue hair and pride flags, than 3 seasons of DLC pre-planned and pre-orderable. Why FUCKING PRONOUNS was the biggest outrage about Starfield, and not Bethesdas insistance on using a 30 year old engine clearly not fitting for the game they were making, or how shitass the whole game / story was.
Such is the life of the anti-woke retard. Keep getting told to notice the pride flag, and say "I'm good at noticing patterns!"Missing the most obvious one.

They technically have banned any movie which has mutilation. That's so strange that cash costs more for you. What country are you in?

Specially any with a woman, or a nigger, or a faggot. The absolute majority of the website is like this. Same way twitter is a nazi website now that still has some lefties holding out there. And on the flipside tumblr used to be a SJW only website pretty much, and there's some right wingers over there, as well. Nobody is saying you have to show your swastika tattoo before posting (yet). But en-large some websites like 4chins are known to have a specific type of audience, and you'd be a retard to deny that, just because you get the occasional contrarian.

Some highlights from the call right now.
>The callcenter jeets are literally reading word for word a copy-pasted script
>They try to hung the caller as fast as possible
>The script says more lies, like VISA being a global company
>And avoiding any illegal content (there was nothing illegal in the games taken down)
In other words, VISA and probably MasterCuck have silently given to their call centers an already made up script to reply to people calling to complain about this. So they have both know what is actually going on, and are trying to hide it under the rug and probably expecting it from people to forget or to all the thing to blow over.

>>717462994
>That's so strange that cash costs more for you. What country are you in?
NTA but i have seen a lot of that in the U.S. lots of places have been trying to phase out cash and even when they do accept it they will often hassle you about it (staff will tell you you're required to go to order at a card only kiosk, then make you call for help to get someone to show up that will take cash, then it causes a big scene and line and everyone is pissed so it basically devolves into an attempt to try to socially shame you for using cash). I've stopped going to many places over it. Cashiers also personally hate cash and it seems like a lot of them do not know how to count anymore.

I travel a lot for work and most airports I got to will not take cash anywhere, none of the stores, restaurants or vending machines. I get stuck there for half the day a lot of times searching the whole place and it is impossible to even buy a soda without a card or phone. I do have a debit card but won't use it unless i'm basically in legitimate danger of death.

Same goes for smartphones they try to force you to tie your ID, apps, wallet, accounts, appointments basically every aspect of life to your phone. Why the fuck would I want to do that? Then if my battery dies or I drop it i'm basically instantly a hobo. Don't know how normies live like that.

Mostly because her logic is that "It's soft cheating" and "Guys don't even look at girls who look like their girlfriends" which told me everything I needed to know. It's not about respect. It's about her being insecure. Keep in mind we barely have sex as it is.

>>717464803
ok that's something at least that can reasonably be called "facts"
however, the "fact" comes from a culture war website from an email of a guy working at an online game store who may or may not misunderstood something and may or may not participated in talks with someone related to payment processors
there's no full email available and the next line in the news article is italic
>https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/08/zoom-platform-also-had-payment-processor-issues-say-they-have-no-plans-to-remove-any-titles/
>There's always more to it.
this does not pass my basic sniff test, but then again I'm a reasonable and employed non-incel person, so feel free to continue the hysteria
is there any more "facts" or is that it

Yeah pretty much, the biggest hope here for them is that everyone forgets about it suddenly - it doesn't really seem like it's happening but on the flip side you don't really have news stations covering it or anything.
It would be a big story if it was ever the front page of any TV news, but since it's not it's not really news and actually will blow over.

There was a time coinciding with gamegate when lefties collectively suddenly lost soul. They'd make dumb comics where hitler is le evil in the fashion of Wolfenstein and that was it.

>>717463663
4chan is a controlled op site filled with Glows, Chinese Wumao, and Bunkertrannies.

/pol/ is 90% automated 1pbtid threads run by the Democrat propaganda outlet Meidas News.

The actual humans here have right wing views but that's only because how fucking far left society has been pushed so its easy for anyone to fall on that side.

This fake drama about porn game censorhip is for sure being spammed by off-site left wing groups.

4chan is controlled opposition, posters say things that the globalist left establishment doesn't like but 4chan itself is controlled by them. A way of keeping all the dissidents in one spot where they can't do anything.

When has 4chan done anything productive for the right wing? Nothing because its all controlled psyops pushed by our Globalist benefactors just like this shit.

The communists won the cold war, the US and Chinese governments were in unison until the American population managed to pull a wild card with Trump and the people in power blame sites like 4chan for that. They aren't sitting on there asses, they are controlling us right here. Manipulating us into benefiting them by pretending it benefits us.

You are all being controlled by the left.

>>717465258

So someone posted a random basedjack with some dog whistles? All that means is that some stray racist is lost. His thread might get a smattering of replies, before the jannies discover and delete it. Not a big deal.

Disagreeing with PBS's political leanings, doesn't automatically make one alt right, or a nazi sympathizer.
However, Leftists do love PBS. I remember getting into an argument with a leftist one day, because I said that a TV show shouldn't chime in on a particular social issue at the time. And his response was that television has a duty to do it, because kids need to be taught about such matters, and some kids rely on TV to be taught such things. I wouldn't consider myself alt right or a nazi. But I remember being annoyed by his PBS glazing at the time. And he did sound like a gigantic faggot.

No, Retard-kun. Even if it doesn't end up working out and I get fucked over in the end anyway, at least I can say I didn't sit idly by while my world went to shit. I didn't just let it happen. There's a ZERO percent chance shit gets better if we just give up. There's a mathematically non-zero percent chance things get better if we keep fighting, no matter how small. Why would I ever give up? What benefit would I get out of that?

The smug satisfaction of knowing it was futile in the first place, and I didn't "waste my time?" What good is that? There are worse things in life than getting your hopes up and having them crushed. I'd rather fight and lose than not fight at all, and still lose anyway.

No. I don't. I'm not responsible for other people's kids, and neither is the fucking government.

She's mostly right. At the very least you should wait till she's not around to jerk off and keep it to yourself. Contrary to the opinions of Reddit the whole world doesn't need to know your porn habits or fetishes and people in past generations kept this shit to themselves.
Assuming you aren't a larper and found one of the <5% of women that isn't a total immoral degenerate it sounds like a pretty stupid thing to fuck up your relationship over.

>>717466224

This is fine and all but you're selling your soul. This is the trick. You want to spite the baiter, and to do this you support censorship. At that moment you sold your soul to Satan. eventually it will be a souless board. and the other places don't have it either. soon not a single place will have a soul.

>>717466339
Jannies delete racism all the time. I would know, because I connect to a hotspot that forces an IP change every 4 hours. When it changes IP, I sometimes find myself on a banned IP. So I can see what other people are being banned for. And I found myself looking at a lot of racism bans.
Honestly, I'm glad that 4chan instated email verification. Because now other people's bans don't apply to me anymore.

You can check on bans here too: https://www.4chan.org/bans
At the moment, there doesn't appear to be any bans for racism. But if you refresh later, I'm sure you will see people banned for racism. It comes up fairly frequently.

>You can not honestly tell me that far right opinions are some "fringe" thing on 4chan.
Depends on how you define "far right". Saying you disagree with woke stuff in video games, is not necessarily far right. Yet, it often gets lumped into that group. Since *some* of the vocal people say racist things too.

>if you don't take their ID and a picture of their asshole to keep on your servers, we'll say you're a pedo enabler
including Project2025 bullshit, the UK garbage, attempts to pass KOSA in the US, and the states with individual laws about "ID verification" plus the court decisions trying to saddle corpos with culpability for shit going on by their users even if its unknown , not reported, not illegal etc.

This is not a mystery and there are many people who are part of the problem but Polygon playing the OH NOBODY KNOWS WHO IS CENSORING EVERYTHING or properly calling out Collective Shout et al.

>>717439372
Stopped clock right twice a day. I'll take it, but the only reason they're concerned about this is that they fear it will happen to THEM (ie LGBT shit is censored).

Micromanaging all of human society is a hard job anon. They do not have precise control and instead scramble and panic to constantly make adjustments.
Imagine a bathtub where the water is cold so you turn up the hot water, get scolded, then quickly turn it back down.

They are banning porn because they are noticing that zoomers are so broken and demoralized they cannot actually do any meaningful work and cannot sustain the current system, gen alpha is on the same path maybe even worse. They think that removing some of their vices will force them into the real world and make them more productive. That is why they are pushing similar restrictions for social media and tiktok.

Tourists. Seriously. A decade of tourists who, much like all the phonefags, gacha players, foreigners and others they sperg out about, were not the same people with the same ideals who came here before that time. Pic very fucking related. This is also the older version I think.

Anyone who is for censorship of the Internet in general (or vidya, media etc) because they find it icky needs to go back. This site and its greatest successes came during a time when we pushed against censorship, privatization, attacks on privacy and anonymity, and other threats to the oldfag concept of the Internet's benefits. This should be an easy, unified fight.

Anyone who knows human nature when it comes to management knew this was how the racial hierarchy/global elite stuff would turn out.
Either they coast through with these milquetoast or dumbass ideas only surviving through social padding that is slowly eroding away until they boil to death or shit like this happens when their plans, stupid or not have one fatal kink.

The whole eat ze bugs thing is a classic example of some small misstep ruining their soup. A social climber inside their own organizations are just as dangerous as a revolt.

>>717439060
It's been on a decline because we have let it. We all whined and complained but continued. Any gripes we had were left in forums and comment sections. People posted on social media if they got really upset for thousands and sometimes millions of likes but nobody ever fucking mobilised.
The decline happened because when it started, we slid along with it. We, as a whole, did nothing. I'm tired of people like you that can't admit we were part of problem and refuse to change that fact so we can start being part of the solution.

>>717468053
>banned furries
What? He banned particular furfaggotry on certain boards that were being shit up and relegated it to others so long as you followed the rules. People being "mean" to furries didn't mean that shit on whatever various boards be it /d/ or /h/ or those far more specific to content were removed. He also banned nazis at a far more significant level due to news being fucked over separate from the general niggerfaggotry comments allowed elsewhere.

Of course, very little of this was "censorship", it was simply abiding by existing posted rules, the same way you're not being censored for being told that you can't rent hardcore porn at a Blockbuster Video. The big issue here that all the censorship fags are pushing is A) payment providers have disproportionate power to fuck things up. You can't just tell Visa/MC to fuck off and only accept others when 90%+ of bank and credit cards are related to one or the other so your user base is fucked. B) there's a difference between not allowing shit on your site, allowing shit on your site until people complain to you and/or you buckle ideologically with shit like Nexusmods did censoring stuff that doesn't violate posted rules, and worst of all attempting to make it defacto or de jure illegal or impossible for there to be that content anywhere. Saying you don't want furfaggotry on your site is fine, but if you basically act in a way to make it illegal as "bestiality" for the purposes of pretty much any monetization, you can get fucked.

Card companies are willing to resist a little PR storm since it's just video games. 99% of normalfags will hear 'freedom to pay for rape games' and immediately shut their brain off. I'm not sure what the threshold will be for gamer protests to actually affect change outside beyond the industry.
Even harder still given a lot of the people protesting these card companies now were, and still are, pro censorship or denied it was ever happening before this - they're just upset muh queer games got caught in the net too.

I hate Cuckservatives so fucking much

No one wants to say the quiet part out loud, but hear me out. Free speech isn’t a hall pass to wreck your life with zero accountability. Self-censoring online and IRL ain’t a betrayal of your “principles” it’s just comon sense. Think about it for one fucking second

Words have teeth one dumb tweet or drunken rant can cost you your job, your rep, even your senpai. You think you’re immune just cuz you’re “Anon”? Servers don’t care about your fedora collection. Better to filter yourself than wake up to a termination email or worse.

Credibility > Edgelord points
Want people to take you seriously on here or on LinkedIn? Spamming conspiracies and slurs every five seconds just makes you look like a clown. Self censoring means you pick your battles and your words. That’s how you gain real influence instead of racking up ignore lists.

Protect yourself and Others
Casual hate speech and half-baked conspiracies aren’t harmless memes. They fuel real world violence, get you trawled by feds, and suck in vulnerable normies who actually believe your garbage. Anon, anonymity isn’t magic. Data gets handed over when things go sideways.

IRL etiquette Matters Too
Same rules apply at Thanksgiving or the bar. Ranting about replacement theories or how “ZOG” controls everything will get you ghosted at best. Keep it chill or get shown the door, maybe even a patrol car if you push it.

Even the UK Is locking people Up for praying. Yeah I know, sounds tinfoil, but UK cops are cuffin folks for prayin in public and banning literature they don’t like. It’s fucked up but proves the point: no speech is “safe.” Better to self-police than let them throw you in the slammer for thoughtcrime. If you disagree just fuck off

So yeah, self-censoring sucks if you’re all about “muh purity”, but it’s the only way to stay free and get shit done. Take control of your own filter, or watch some suit or officer build it for you.

This can’t be argued with.
