    The title feels dissonant: it states a provocative claim without context

    Collective Shout—a conservative Australian advocacy group—has made it clear that it targets video games based on the harm they inflict, not their legality. In a recent interview with TweakTown, campaigns manager Caitlin Roper stated: “legality is not the defining factor… it is about documented evidence of harm to women and girls” . She emphasized the group’s focus on opposing the sexual objectification and exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether the content is legal. Collective Shout accuses platforms like Steam and Itch.io of insufficient moderation and lauded its recent win—pushing these platforms, via pressure on payment processors, to delist or deindex NSFW content as its 27th victory of the year .

    It could be part of a wider plot, overseen by Project 2025’s leading voices, to ban p*rnography from video games and the wider internet.

    Ow and they don’t like gays either…
