The only thing I want coming out of Stephen Millers mouth is the executioners bullet after that Nazi ghoul is tried and sentenced for his crimes against humanity.

Hey, let’s get those factory jobs paying 50 to 75 dollars an hour and we have a deal. Otherwise, goan fuck yourself.

Thank you for the clarification, I guess ACAB is just a truism.

Ooh, real believable NYPD. Fucking pigs.

Whoa whoa whoa, why are you so comfortable assuming he’s guilty? As far as I’m concerned he’s a free man being prosecuted by the biggest gang in NY.

Wasn’t the official story such that a search at the scene of arrest found nothing, but suddenly the gun was found on search once the bag was in police custody in a second location? It’s hard to keep track of the truth in 2025.

Nazi sympathizing has already ruined Reddit.

That shithole has been sanitized for advertisers, which means banning anyone who talks about resisting the fascist slide America is currently in but allows /r/conservative to exist for foreign actors to spread misinformation from.

Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez, those Nazi fucks will get what’s coming to them if we’re lucky.

Neither. I’m saying that visa and Mastercards opinion on what I’m buying means fuck all to me, it’s none of their fucking business. I don’t care who writes you a letter, posts on face book, what the media says, it’s not their job to police my purchases.

They’d be 100% in the clear just ignoring these people (the kind of morons who have time to cause this kind of trouble either don’t need credit or don’t have a choice in the matter, so no loss of customers), but they decided to interject themselves in a place they don’t belong. So fuck em, and anyone who tries to enforce limitations on the legal things I do via crybaby disingenuous public pressure.

If everyone felt like me, these attempts would fall flat on their face. Sadly, too many sheepish pearl clutching morons.

In your scenario (media pulled it from an echo chamber) I would blame the corporation who decided to make a change - media is (arguably) doing its job (that’s a much bigger discussion), poster was just bitching to like minded people and not trying to force change.

This is useful information I was not aware of - thank you.

While I was wrong about Horses, the issue with payment processors forcing censorship on Steam is still true and an enormous issue - Visa doesn’t get a say in what I purchase.

I don’t disagree, I’m just calling the people who choose to complain morons, because again I don’t believe they should be the arbiters of what is acceptable.

Basically, you’re free to have your opinion, but keep it to your fucking self and your fucking echo chambers you regressive fucking failures (the general you, not you specifically)

Good thing we measure by the law and not his opinion. Everyone involved needs the entire library thrown at them. If the death penalty is on the table it should absolutely be pursued.

I’M not claiming steam pulled it due to pressure from payment processors, VALVE reported it. You’d know that if you read the article I posted.

If you want to participate in the discussion you have to do the reading.

JESUS CHRIST YOURE EITHER EXTREMELY OUT OF THE LOOP OR JUST BEING WILLFULLY IGNORANT. EITHER WAY, GET BETTER.

I hope Canada takes the money and tells ICE to fuck off. Or even better, deliver 20 Cozy Coupes painted the LGTBQ+ flag colors

Let’s finish our conversation about steam before we set up a goal post move.

Please actually read my comment and try again.

I regret my short hand of “slippery slope” but it’s not a coincidence that less than 6 months ago payment processors used their influence to get a game pulled from steam and now all of a sudden steam is self censoring based on content.

Whatever the non-fallacious version of “there’s an escalating pattern here” is what’s happening.

Visa and Mastercard literally used their influence to get a game pulled from steam this year. So less of a strawman and more “Exhibit A”.

Earlier this year steam updated its guidelines to prohibit content that “may violate the rules and standards set forth by steam payment processors and related card networks”

Visa and Mastercard pressured steam to remove a game because they didn’t agree with its content. Visa and Mastercard only care because they believe they end users care - that’s you, a potential end user of visa and Mastercards service. Valve only cares because visa and Mastercard care.

You saying “I see why they wouldn’t want to sell the game” helps them to pressure steam into self censorship.

You’re speaking with an awful lot of confidence on stuff you don’t seem to be very well versed in.

For example, you somehow missed the fact that just months after payment processors forced steam to remove a game, they’re suddenly self-censoring.

The only reason someone wouldn’t want to sell something is because of pressure from others - you boil it down enough and the logic is “I don’t want to sell this because others will judge me”, which stems directly from others judgement, being my entire point.

You can claim “Valve doesn’t want to sell it for moral reasons”, but they’re not a moral body, they’re a corporation - their only job is to earn money.

The more people feel they can dictate what a retailer sells, the worse it gets for all of us, and retailers choosing to drop things rather than “roc k the boat” is a problem.

Sure, this is a pretty repugnant case, but the slippery slope starts somewhere.
