    Fuck that. They can collectively shout into this asshole. All we gotta do is start a counter movement. Which I guarantee will be easier to grow than Collective Prudes.

      I say that we must take a revenge… I am very angry for the freedom of expression and respect to individual rights. It is simply a nazi organization disguised in Christian clothes.

        You’re making it sound like this isn’t straight up Christianity.

        For this one Christianity is to blame, not Nazis.

    Just pointing out the obvious here, but the problem isn’t organizations like Collective Shout. And there has been a rather worrying development of this issue where people seem to focus on these organizations rather than the actual problem.

    Payment processing is a utility. Credit card companies should not be allowed to pick and choose who they allow and who they block. That’s the job of the government. Anything illegal can be blocked, but blocking anything legal such as the delisted games, or the Japanese manga sites that visa and MasterCard killed, should count as discriminatory practice and antitrust violation.

    Japan is on track to force credit card companies to allow all legal transactions indiscriminately, and we need the same thing to happen in the EU and US. Once we have this fixed, organizations will be forced to instead try to outlaw the games, which is a million times harder.

    If we bully organizations like collective shout out of existence, new ones will pop up to take its place, and the cycle repeats, but if we regulate credit card companies, we essentially cure the disease.

      Actually insane to say that Collective Shout is blameless. Go look at the vile shit their members are spewing. Not only are they demonstrably culpable for this, they’re also engaging in hate speech and disinformation and targeted harassment.

      The payment situation is also to blame.

        to say that Collective Shout is blameless

        Twitter is not, as it turns out, the only place where well articulated sentences get misinterpreted.

        No one is saying they are blameless. We are saying they are not the issue that we need to focus on fixing here.

        Edit: Fuck. Turns out I was wrong.

    I mean, getting rid of anything that even acknowledges the existence of queer folk is absolutely on brand for Christofascists.
