Fucking gone. Get fucked.

Private reports for months and months? Fuck all results.

A bit of public agitation kicks off and itchio freaked the fuck out and blasted it instantly.

EDIT: Celebration might be premature, it's been taken down pending investigation of whether it breaks their ToS or not. It could reappear, hopefully fucking not though. Gonna publicly agitate even more if it does, this shit works.

Gommunism is when you have basic human standards. Thanks for admitting that.

Communism is when Hillary traffics children under a pizza parlor.

Communism is when stores don't want to sell your CP.

I don't know what game we're talking about, but I have the controversial opinion that pedophilia is bad.

There's something kinda sad about these Taiwanese chuds' brainworms being completely indistinguishable from your average Western chanlord's.

It's all the same shit, they don't even have their own bugbears and imagery

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 51 points 2 years ago

They even post the same copy paste china Tienanmen walls of text. Despite being chinese and knowing that shit does fuck all. It's wildly unhinged behaviour.

It's the spread of the Yakubian mind-virus.

just fyi yakub jokes are forbidden now

i believe it was due to the unpleasant optics of a majority-white site making light of beliefs that are predominantly held by black people but it's been a while since the announcement so i could be misremembering

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Idea for a bit: Hexbear user befriends black people so that they can get a Yakub pass.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

this is actually why ulyT left. he's off on a sacred mission to find the one black person willing to give out the coveted Y-pass

[–] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Saw some screenshots of the game and its not even subtle how fucked it is. I don't get why itch is dragging their feet to remove it

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Money.

EDIT: They didn't drag their feet as soon as any complaints were happening in public channels and other people would be able to see that they had clearly received and ignored said complaints. Private complaints are more easily ignored.

How would itch.io make money from this game? Unlike Steam it doesn't take a cut of revenue (unless the game creator chooses to give some away). https://itch.io/docs/general/about

They'd really be showing their fucking ass if

spoilerR*pe, pedophilia, and blatant anti-Semitism apparently somehow doesn't violate their TOS, then wtf does it even forbid.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Calling people "cracker" probably does

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

Rather see the jackass get his doors broken down and hauled out of his house with a bag over his head by the police but at least this is a tomato to his face

I hope this game is as death as the posibility for an independent Taiwan

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

President Xi, my people yearn for the PLA to storm the game dev's home and rescue the children he has locked up in his spare room.

Before seeing the context elsewhere in the thread, I thought we were talking "Void Rains Upon Her Heart" levels of pedo, but holy shit this is so far beyond that. I don't really follow anime-ish ero games because nothing about it would appeal to me, but my impression from what Steam occassionally tosses up as punishment for me ever playing an anime-ish game of any kind (mostly fighting games), it's my inclination to guess that it's mainly the antisemitism that is causing this to come "under review". Graphic SV and pedophilia seem to be alarmingly tolerated on these platforms, but blatant Nazi shit sometimes isn't.

Yeah this is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else. It's a combination of torture porn and child porn. The fascists have some sort of belief that pushing the boundaries of sexual content helps to make society "more dege-removed-nerate" and they see it as having accelerationist benefits to do it.

I suspect part of it is about driving people outside the boundaries of acceptability in society, where they can then become radicalised by fascists on the fringes. It increases their numbers. Not only that but it also encourages extreme violent behaviours, I can't shake the feeling that people into sexually abusive violence are more likely to commit real violence, there's probably research on that somewhere.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I get the impression of the game reflecting them being fucked up edgelords along with the actual fash propaganda like the Happy Merchant, but that the sadistic porn elements don't serve an ideological purpose beyond perhaps getting the game banned so they can make controversy around it based on things like the flag (as they ended up actually doing). Maybe not, I don't know. If they had an ideological reason to want to promote sexual violence, etc, there are other ways of doing it (see any anime ero game's representation of consent) that I think would be more effective in bending some weeb's attitude and encouraging wild misogyny. I don't really know though, just my opinion.

it's been taken down pending investigation of whether it ~~breaks their ToS~~ receives further public agitation or not

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah I've had private assurances from staff that the decision has been made for it to go. There's just some things that need to be done on the tech end first or something. Gonna give them time to follow through on that.

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for fighting the good fight, comrade rosa-salute

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Don't celebrate too much yet, there are several other platforms they need to get fucked on too.

I'm still seeing the page on itch... Did it come back up?

Well it doesn't show up in itch search but the page still shows up on itch if say searching in duckduckgo

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Temporary measure while they do some tech stuff prior to the full takedown.

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Good to hear
