Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

An "entity" doesn't have rights, so no.
Hmmm interesting. In my language we don't use the term "individual" as corporation entity in law. But even in the case that individual=entity, my point still stands. A corporation or individual that owns an IP/platform/product/service, should be able to do whatever they want with it.
Unless it's in a case that you can make a very very strong argument that visa/MC/Steam's business practice is harmful to the majority in the society, which definitely isn't the case in rape sim game debate.

Glancing over the recently delisted steam games the only one that sticks out to me is GTA2 and I can't verify whether it got delisted due to this or for different reasons like license issues.
However, when I read that the NGO "Collective shout", who's apparently responsible for these delists, has also attempted to get other titles censored/banned in the past, like detroit become human or GTAV, I'm getting a hunch that this isn't going to stop here.

GTA 2 was delisted for like....10 years maybe? I don't see how it's related to this.
like detroit become human or GTAV, I'm getting a hunch that this isn't going to stop here.
Welp, considering those games are still alive, I guess this NGO isn't so powerful like people here have feared.

Haven't read for pages but my understanding is that Afania's ideal sexual partner is an underage step sibling with breasts and a penis.
Am I wrong?

NGO's are basically a bunch of Karens that get together to Karen the hardest.
No job, nothing else to do but get all up in other people's business. I would expect they will not stop at a win.

I highly doubt they have the power to get GTA banned lol. GTA and Rockstar customers brings entirely way too much money for Steam and Visa/MC. If I am the owner of Steam, I wouldn't mind sacrificing some small niche porn games that doesn't follow external r18 patch rules just to please them. It's not a big loss in this case.
Sacrificing relationship with Rockstar and their customers for them? Lol no. Too much money loss.
but if they are successful at getting GTA banned, then that will be an event that reshapes the entire industry, Rockstar influence is just too big. I highly doubt it's possible, though.

Ur wrong. And you have a bad taste too. Why are you so into people with breasts and a penis?
Also its into non consensual relationships.
And you too. You are into Euphoria, your sex taste is the worst here, you have no right to comment on mine!

I doubt big titles like the GTA franchise would silently get pulled from steam shelves over this but it might have a effect on buisness decisions of developers in the future, preemptively obeying demands of such NGOs in hopes to avoid bad press.

The link showed the date that GTA 2's page got deleted, but it isn't the time that the game is removed from Steam.
Rockstar made GTA 2 available something like 10 years ago, then decided to remove the game. But the web page for this game was still there.
It seems that Steam decided to remove the page just a day ago or two.
I was searching for a legal way to play GTA 2 just 1-2 week ago and I swear the page was there. I even read the reviews from people who had the game back then. I tried to find it now and it doesn't exist anymore. With a forum post asking why the page was gone 21 hrs ago.

A corp is often viewed as an individual. Person. "Corporations are people."
In the eyes of the law, corporations are individuals. "Corporations are people." This is the supreme court decision that lead to:
United States' supreme court said that corporations can have religion
An "entity" doesn't have rights, so no. Correct! Which is why ... see above, this is getting kind of redundant.

I don't worry about blackrock/corporation power nearly as much as you do. Nor I believe blackrock will have full control on everything produced in this world. If you truly believe in free market then you shouldn't fear. Doesnt understand a lot of things it seems. But I dont want to do a politic, so I'll stop this one here.

I understand slippery slope, I just don't care about them unlike you.

Isn't it natural that corporations can have religions, even without supreme court saying so?
corporations are not justice system nor government. It's not their obligation to "stay neutral". That's government obligation, not corporation's.
Corporations can have ideals, beliefs, goals, official stances(which is different from employee's personal stance), morality and right to promote/enforce their morality as long as the method isn't against the law. Isn't it normal that having religion should be allowed too?
It seems like people are confused about corporation's social role and government's. They are just not the same.
If you want to make an argument that corporations can't enforce morality on the other, you have to make a law based argument(did they break the law with their method?), not "slippery slope" kind of argument.

That's government obligation
Obviously, icing the ***cake, it is Alfania bringing politics to RT for the 10000000th time...

Yeah, they'll eventually go after you and delete all of your games on Steam. So SCARY.
Honestly if that even happen, I'll just watch the world burn with popcorn in my hand. Maybe feel glad that game nerds can finally quit video games and go outside more.
By Afania 2025-07-19 16:10:08
Don't care, I'll sell my oil painting on the street taking people's payment in cash then.
You are scared, not I.

Jesus christ, Im already over 10h trying to get a good record of a single 30 minutes run in Palworld, and IDK, either RNG is ruining stuffs, or small mistakes simply ruin the entire record.
It is insane how long Im stucked in a short 30 minutes run, with 4 small RNG events, 2 mid RNG events, one major RNG event and fighting 4 monsters with the handicap of only 2-hits KO on my char...
Well, looking now, expecting the moon aligns 7 times in a row plus playing with such small margin of mistakes kinda explain why Im 10h+ trying this. It just sucks I could have this done like 15h ago if I hadnt made a small mistake evading a killing blow.
Dang, today was horrible...
By Pantafernando 2025-07-19 17:23:25
The only good side of this is that somehow Im becoming extremelly desensitized to frustrations.
Maybe before I would explode in anger by having everything almost perfect to die and lose everything at the very last blow in the run.
Now I just shake my head and try again.
Yeah, this is a good thing I think. Its a lot of time wasted, but my head is pretty stable this entire time.
Mostly at least.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
