Payments companies successfully got valve to stop purveying weapons grade incest/child-porn/rape themed smut that is barely a game? Nabokov was a great author and Lolita was the work of a great author who turned his pen/typewriter to a detestable subject leading to innumerable questions about art. These guys are just z-graders who get off on non-consensual sexual interactions involving children. Valve absolutely should not be publishing this stuff.

Even if I agree that this stuff shouldn’t be sold, it’s wrong that Visa has the power to force Valve to. The end does never justify the means.

  Agree that Visa shouldn't have the power but the fact is,this isn't it. The civil liberties guys always jump in one too early to defend the guys who want to fuck kids. Slippery slope arguments are fallacious. I am ready to destroy Visa/Mastercard as soon as it's not child abuse or erotic depictions of child abuse they are censoring.

I don't know how bad these specific games were, but meanwhile, OnlyFans pornographers continue to use sites like Twitch to advertise their work to teens, and Pornhub continues to operate, despite claims that they profit from sex trafficking amongst other things (https://traffickinghubpetition.com/ https://traffickinghubpetition.com/) Seems strange to go after obscure videogames (which presumably don't feature real human beings) in this way. Unless they really are unusually extreme?

  Most of your comment I agree with, if Visa has this power they should be using it against people involved in human trafficking. But: > which presumably don't feature real human beings I don't really care. As soon as you've created something people will pleasure themselves to you've created the negative feedback loop on the pleasure but the positive feedback loop on the real thing IMO.
