All of these ppl were plotting to do this sh!t. Ain't no way #collectiveshout made all this happen. Every globalist who has wormed their way into the upper echelons of various govts were waiting on the signal to go full authoritarianism as quickly as possible. 🫤 #Mexico #palantir

Plea for action from Australians copied from Bsky:

If any fellow Aussies think its inappropriate for a registered Australian charity (Collective Shout) to bully an indie website (Itch) into reviewing all NSWF (+ random other) content, and to pretend 'lobbying' is 'charity', here's where you can report misuse of their charity status: https://www.acnc.gov.au/

You're looking for the Raise a concern menu. The option is Raise a concern about a charity.

According to the screenshot, the ABN is 30162159097. As I'm not an Australian, I haven't gone through the process myself.

"Steam censoring pro-rape pornographic video games is bad because they'll come for LGBT content next - after all, in the conservative eyes, queer people just existing is pornographic already."

Look, I get it, but have we lost the plot somewhere here?
That exact same logic goes elsewhere too:

"This organisation dedicated to combatting child abuse is actually bad, because they'll come for LGBT people next. After all, they define trans people just existing in public as child abuse."

...or...

"Laws against child abuse are actually bad, because it'll hit us when they define being queer as child abuse..."

...or...
"Consequences for grooming are actually bad, because it'll hit us when they define being a queer around kids as grooming."

And so on.

Y'all, we can still support the removal of misogynist pro-rape video games even if they might abuse the tools against us later.

It's the definition of queerness as pornographic that's the problem we should continue focusing on, not the fight against sexual exploitation just because it can be abused to hurt us.

In the same way that antisemitism accusations are often wielded as a weapon against pro-Palestinian activism, and yet we still shouldn't be against combatting real antisemitism. It's not that hard to draw lines in correct places.
