Starmaker: Since this got bumped:
There's no such thing as "the LGBT community".
This is a nice take, and i like it.
We did have a pedo problem (everyone does sooner or later) but we kicked them out, earlier than many other groups. Certainly eariler than many churches, or Hollywood (which hasn't even started). Please stop adding them back in.
What exactly did you kick them out of?
Furthermore, please don't make excuses for gross shit by appealing to tastes of "the LGBT community".
Ew, it's gross, but who I am to judge, I'm not gay. This contributes to homophobia.
Please judge. LGB people are normal, and gross shit is gross,
and we don't like it any more than straight people do.
I don't think anyone uses "they're gay" for an excuse for not kink-shaming. People just don't link kink shaming.
Darvond: Oh, so it
is related to RuPaul, the one who "accidentally" insulted everyone in transition and then tried to backpedal by posting an
abstract landscape.
I'm so proud we have a game here, made by someone associated with an
active transphobe here, especially so soon after the end of Pride Month.</
statement made completely in sarcastic contempt>
Hating pedos is normal and expected of every adult. (No vigilantism and no martyrs, please: a speedy trial and a standard drop is all that's needed for them.) Hating pedos doesn't excuse womanface, though.
I'd talk about hwo there's a difference between "the different types of pedos" but i'm sick of writing things out (i never go to inappropriate detail, either) only to get it removed by the Karens that run these forums. In their attempts to appeal to gay people, they've done alot of damage to the image. Instead of actually addressing the problem, they end up invoking the streisand effect. I'd just consider GOG an anti-gay community, if I were you, even if it's not necessarily true, their indept mishandling of issues in the name of what is and isn't "appropriate for discussion" is hella damaging. It's worth stating, though, and why i bothered at all to reply, that there's a separation between pedophilia and acting upon it. There's alot going on there, and despite a large portion of the population having rape fantasies (what was it? 30%? 50%? I can't remember) and, although reasonable people will always want actual cases of rape reduced, it doesn't change the fact that it's a sizable percentage of the population that would much rather keep it in their heads than do it or let it happen to them for real, because those of us with any sexual experience knows that what sounds good in our heads usually isn't as good in reality.
Darvond: Praytell, what is so wrong with the devaluation of matrimony or singularly paired relationships? Perhaps the bonobos are onto something with their policy of making love in polycules instead of war.
It's exactly because of this 'lifestyle" that bonobo cubs are raised by single mothers. In humans, fatherlessness is one of the most significant predictors of bad outcomes for children.
This can't be said enough. Almost every person i meet with depression or some kind of problem (that they admit they have, not me having to tell them) doesn't know their father or only knew them for a short time.
Darvond: As long as everyone has a rubber and a sense of safe sexual practices, it seems like a good idea to let love be, no matter what form it takes.
I see you conveniently forgot "everyone is a consenting adult".
I can only guess that
maybe the wolf's poking through the sheep costume.
TL;DR game is gross, but GOG sells strategy games where you play the Nazis. There's no ethical imperative to not sell it, just shitty curation.
IMO, i'd like a more itch.io style approach to GOG curation. They've shown time and time again that the can't curate well, as evidenced by them going back on their rejections, and doing so after a long period of time, not just a few days. They don't understand their audience at all, but, then again, they're a corporation, and the job of a corporation isn't to cater to the customer, but the average stock holder and stock short-seller.
