::::::Looking more into it, it does sound like being anti-consumer is their entire point. They're lobbyists wanting to take down media that goes against their values. | ::::::Looking more into it, it does sound like being anti-consumer is their entire point.

::::::From the archived website: "Collective Shout is a grassroots movement challenging the objectification of women and sexualisation of girls in media, advertising and popular culture.

:::::::This is the description of the game they specifically wanted gone from a newsweek article: | |||
:::::::''No Mercy appeared on the PC gaming platform Steam in early April. The game allowed players to control a character who rapes, tortures and kills women. It did not carry an age rating or content warning and was described by some users and critics as a 'rape simulator.''' | |||
:::::::''No Mercy features scenes in which the player rapes a woman, who then becomes pregnant, gives birth to a baby, and is then murdered along with her newborn.'' [[User:DzLamme|DzLD]] ([[User talk:DzLamme|talk]]) 15:08, 5 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
:::::Apparently the protesting of NSFW/Mature video games started specifically against ''No Mercy''. Itch de-indexed the games, as far as I can tell it wasn't because of any new legislation, they did it without notifying any customers. I disagree with much of CS's positions, but Itch wasn't forced to do what they did the way they did it. They chose profit over their customers, it would cost money to go through each title one by one. The games that I found CS reference besides GTA are games I don't want to describe on this wiki. | |||
:::::Which payment processors are involved, I can't find a name? [[User:DzLamme|DzLD]] ([[User talk:DzLamme|talk]]) 15:00, 5 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
:::::This incidents opens up the debate about financial censorship, the role of payment processors as content moderators, and the impact on creative freedom. They don't want to get rid of every game ever, the games in question are objectively for adults only. ''Daddy, Say My Name'', ''Sex Education With Richard And Mr. Dickson'', ''Short Horns'', based on the descriptions, the games content and themes violated the credit co. policies. The group is not main antagonist. I really wanna make it clear that I'm not defending their positions i.e. porn, abortion, etc. [[User:DzLamme|DzLD]] ([[User talk:DzLamme|talk]]) 15:49, 5 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
