:The term anti-consumer should be reserved for practices that prioritize profit or control over consumer rights without ethical justification. Collective Shout's advocacy, while controversial, is rooted in preventing harm rather than suppressing choice for financial gain. Labeling them as anti-consumer overlooks their motivations and conflates them with corporations whose actions are objectively more harmful to consumers. Their methods can be critiqued as overly broad or collaterally damaging, but not inherently anti-consumer in the same way as corporate practices. | :The term anti-consumer should be reserved for practices that prioritize profit or control over consumer rights without ethical justification.

:I have discussed this with @[[User:Keith|Keith]] and we have agreed that the Collective Shout article is relevant to the wiki for a few reasons: | |||
:#All of Itch.io's NSFW tagged games were deindexed as a result of Collective Shout's actions [https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content] | |||
:#Said games did not violate Steam and Itch.io's terms prior to the incident | |||
:#Like @[[User:Lowspeedguy|Lowspeedguy]] mentioned before, their campaign against GTA V [https://www.collectiveshout.org/win_target_and_kmart_remove_r18_game_from_stores] was heavily misguided (as killing women isn't required in the storyline or to progress in the game). | |||
:#The wider impact this incident can have on consumer's rights in the future. | |||
