Valve bows to Kremlin: LGBTQ+ solitaire game [Flick Solitaire] pulled from russian Steam [cited a 2006 federal law prohibiting the "promotion of non-traditional sexualities"]

It seems to be one set of cards, as a part or a deck. Its pretty much a nothing burger.
And besides that, who the fuck cares other than rabid homophobic assholes?
-
So, human rights stuff aside, how/why the fuck do we need a genderised solitaire?
it’s art. the question should be “why not” and the answer is “no reason”.

An angry enough people overthrows their government. Depriving the people will get them closer to that
That’s literally was Israel says about Gaza

Ignorance…
Im “intolerant” of nothing.
I tolerate sexual deviance just dandy
Not supporting and not tolerating are very different
Begone, troll.

“Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.
Non-traditional as to the religion. Orthodox catholic church is fucked up in head, and lately been standing on a wrong side of many things. Even going so far to in-fight with each other for their statements. They are like The Mouth of Sauron - they preach on behalf of government and lately it feels that they spit to vile shit out of their mouth just to please their government.

If America does this shit, they should pull out of here too
By this logic since you disapprove of the actions of Valve then you should not use it if were an existing user and not start if you’re not.

No, me merely stating my opinion is against no rules. And what you consider bigotry… well thats fine. Im sorry you imagine I pissed on your floor. Maybe your imagination sucks?
Calling LGBT content sexual deviance is bigotry. Regardless of it being your opinion. It’s still a bigoted opinion you chose to break the rules to share.
And since bigotry is against the rules, you’re like a guest that doesn’t respect their host by pissing on the floor. Leaking their bladder (your bigoted opinion) all over the carpet.
Which is why the host kicked you out (banned you).
So you can see my imagination is fine and shielding your bigotry behind ‘that’s just my opinion’ doesn’t fly on most of lemmy.
Hope that helps.

Its a free card game with paid or grind to get skins. One of those skins is a rainbow camelion.

The tactic isn’t wrong in that caae, it’s how it’s being used
-
Yes. Maybe then people will blame the ones actually responsible. If it makes overthrowing a magat government more likely, it’s good on principle
Yes. Once the bread and circuses are gone, people will have lots of hunger and free time to ruminate on how hungry they are.

There was the whole thing about payment processors raising a stink because of Steam, which is comparable and I have no evidence Dementia Don simps were not somehow involved, since this was started via some republican christofascist Karen association. But even if that does not suffice it for you, I’m not wondering about to the present situation, I’m wondering about the situation of when (not if) it happens in the future.
This had nothing to do with the USA. It was triggered by an Australian group of christofascist Karens, called “Collective Shout,” leading to adult titles being removed from steam. Steam already region locks titles, so it would be easy for them to block titles for sale in countries with laws about NSFW matierial. What’s unique about this is the christofacists put enough pressure on payment processors to shut down Steam’s ability to sell anything in any country. The title pulls weren’t the result of government pressure.

Someone wanted to play a game like it, and someone else coded it and decided to sell it. Capitalism. You may as well ask the question, “Why does porn exist.” People can’t have sex whenever they want, with whoever they want, so a wank with some NSFW material solves the problem. A demand results in someone realizing they can make money meeting the demand.
