Uh huh.

You better do something then, instead of just making noise on a random game board.

Yes, we know.

Now they’re doing it to the video game industry? You must not visit these forums often, because others would tell you it’s been happening for a long time. Endless number of “Woke games” threads and all that.

The L= liberal part i highly doubt.
The leader and founder of the group describes herself as a "Christian Pro Life feminist" and those people are usually hardcore conservative.

Yeah, they're Christofascists cosplaying as feminists.

The same crowd complaining about censorship are the same ones celebrating Stephen Colbert getting canceled. Hypocrisy, imagine that.

Collectvist Shout has nothing to do with it. Valve was just late on the list of getting slapped by it.

This was all done a decade ago, when Germany banned bestiality, incest etc in 2012. Payment processors added it as well, all the way back then.

The silly group and try and claim credit for it, but ya... Just because they claim to be the reason, doesn't make it so.

People who complain about cancel culture are often more than happy to participate when it fits their own views.

Did you just equate a show getting cancelled that has episodes on a streaming service to video games being delisted never to be bought again?

It was a conservative group

The sentiment that individuals who decry "cancel culture" are quick to engage in similar behaviors when it aligns with their own beliefs is a common observation. This isn't necessarily exclusive to one political ideology. Instead, it speaks to a broader human tendency to apply different standards based on whether one is the target or the aggressor of social condemnation.

The Challenge of Consistency

From a neutral standpoint, the challenge of maintaining perfect consistency in one's principles is a widespread phenomenon. People on all sides of the political spectrum may decry certain tactics when used against them, only to employ similar tactics against those with whom they disagree. This can be attributed to:

Self-Preservation: When one's own views or group are perceived to be under attack, the natural instinct can be to retaliate, even if it means using methods previously criticized.

Defining "Cancel Culture" Differently: What one person labels as "cancel culture" (e.g., disproportionate punishment for a minor offense) another might see as legitimate accountability (e.g., consequences for harmful speech). These differing definitions can lead to perceived hypocrisy.

Shifting Goalposts: The criteria for what constitutes an acceptable or unacceptable offense can evolve, and individuals may adapt their responses based on the specific context and their personal convictions at the moment.

Emotional Responses: Debates around social and political issues often evoke strong emotions, which can override purely logical or consistent application of principles.

The perverts obsessed with controlling other people's behavior.

You do realize the Colbert show is a topical show about current events. An episode from a month ago is irrelevant now and will only to get more irrelevant as times goes on. What Trump did was shut down a critic because Colbert wasn't kissing his fat pasty ass.

Uhhhhh. Yeah..... they're all women. LOL

You can still watch the episodes tho. Every episode. Just because it's suddenly cancelled doesn't mean it's suddenly taken off of everything and you can't watch it anymore.
