This sounds terrible, no matter what the scenario.

Hmmm, maybe. But I still think there are better solutions to that.

Yes. It’s a symptom of paedophile culture, which is based on patriarchy, toxic masculinity, racism, beauty standards, and rape culture etc.

Edit: And that children are largely seen as property, or not people by a lot of ‘adults’, especially in the US as they never ratified the UN’s convention on the rights of the child.

This isn’t the only way to help, but a big one would be giving children freedom, rights etc as laid out by the Youth Liberation movement. The more children are controlled and have no say, aren’t taught how to have boundaries and to consent or not, and don’t have those boundaries and (lack of) consent respected, and aren’t taught what sex is etc the more they will fall victims to these predators.

Of course there is more that needs to be done, but it is a good start.

Children are people, it’s time we started treating them like it.

I think caregivers and children should definitely sit down and talk about it. Roblox is, for many reasons a predatory company. Just like most capitalists they don’t actually care about people, especially children. This has been shown not only in their lacklustre response to paedophiles, but also in their use of child labour to make them richer. Which they then do not compensate the children for fairly.

Agreed, that might help, I really really want Roblox gone, or controlled by those that actual utilise it for it’s allegedly intended purpose. The youth do need places online where they can be safe until what I talked above is implemented, sadly it seems nothing commercial is actually the way to do it, given the repeated reports of poor mental health, predatory behaviour etc coming from so called ‘child spaces’ on commercial platforms.

You might want to change the title of your post 🙂

Malware check please!

The website they link to really needs https. There’s no reason not to have it since it’s free nowadays. Seems dodgy not to have it.

Yup!

That’s a good question though. What happens if a right’s holder dies and doesn’t transfer the rights to others? Are the rights then public domain or what?

They have said clearly that they care more about profits than the safety of the real people, even childen, playing their game.

Patience and organising.

Either Mastercard and Visa already agreed with them and just needed to be pointed in the right direction and needed an excuse OR direct action actually works by being persistent and annoying enough.

The problem with video games and being ‘evil’ is a lack of nuance or exploring the space.

You can either be ‘good’ or ‘evil’ and there might not be much middle ground nor realistic reasons for being either.

TTRPGs are much better places to explore this dichotomy in because you can have actual reasons and it’s not just about being a mustache-twirling villain or goodie two shoes.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

If you mean just video games, then yes we agree.

TTRPGs can be this way, but don’t have to be.

Okidoke, thanks for explaining!

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Ah yeah, this is a problem. I agree.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Yeah, undertale was amazing at this!

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Wow, that does sound interesting.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Hmm, some of those titles are suspicious because yes perverted nerds do cause some of society’s problems as we learned from the whole incel movement, and there are studies showing some types of porn lowers empathy etc for others.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

We agree, actually.

However, someone somewhere has to moderate the things on a platform and to be fair steam famously doesn’t often.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Whelp, time to pirate!

Not that most ‘adult’ games on steam are worth it, they’re mostly objectifying shit that wouldn’t know what consent and boundaries were if it kissed them on the mouth and they felt uncomfortable with it.

Nor would they know what good writing, acting or realistic sex etc is either.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu (edited 4 miesiące temu)

Yes. However, before they started supporting and prefering linux, and working on proton then getting any game working on linux was a real mess and the average person couldn’t do it for most games.

Sadly most other games stores in the digital space like gog don’t give a shit about linux, thus there is still no galaxy on linux, nor are their preservation efforts coming to linux for a long time.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Yeah, Heroic is good but sadly it only supports gog and epic. Not everything is from those stores, sadly. Whereas Lutris supports a lot more sources.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Ah, okay, thanks for the correction!

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

I have, sadly. On steam once the native linux version of a game wouldn’t run but the windows one would through proton.

However, yeah I agree, they could so I don’t know why they don’t.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

Yeah, it’s sad that they don’t, gog really needs to get on it imo. Though have you tried running galaxy through proton?

I want that too, heck even Epic could easily make their games native to linux with a single button press but they don’t want to.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Mostly only because games are so expensive when they don’t have to be.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Maybe indie games. Certainly not AAAs though.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 4 miesiące temu

One solution to this is companies bringing back the demo which I think should be a thing.

However, yeah, we agree there are a few cases where actual renting makes sense. I just wish it wasn’t digital.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Yes! Do so!

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Yeah, we need fewer satellites really.

As for the rest, that’s not easily solved.

But yes, saving games is pretty minor compared to stopping literal fascism.

I don’t know. Fascism hates art, and capitalism only sees value in it when it’s making them money/giving it power, and capitalism and fascism are very closely related. Therefore it’s actually a part of stopping fascism, or at least stopping them from getting what they want entirely.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Completely agree.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Sorry it has been a long time since we have seen the show. What do you mean?

Oh, that sounds a bit dire. We hope it allows us to rebel completely.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Ah, thanks!

Hmmmm, a bit confusing it’s a dating sim if it’s meant to be about an AroAce person, but it’s somehwat understandable if somebody is trying to figure themselves out.

Might check it out once it’s complete (early access is too hard to trust especially with a newly made studio).

SweetCitrusBuzz, 6 miesięcy temu

How so?

SweetCitrusBuzz, 5 miesięcy temu

Thanks for explaining! We appreciate it!

SweetCitrusBuzz, 6 miesięcy temu

We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 6 miesięcy temu

Wow, yeah.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 6 miesięcy temu

Ugh, the interloper.

SweetCitrusBuzz, 6 miesięcy temu

Yeah ☹️

I hope not. Stories need to move on, else we get Star Wars (except Andor) again with self referential rubbish saying nothing of value.

Let him go.
