  • Anyone who stops to think about the problem for even a second can see why the abusers are by far most common in religious groups.

    The abuse almost exclusively requires leaving your child alone with the abuser, there obviously is abuse that doesn’t but that’s not the type of thing that we’re talking about when things hit the news. They’re not going to abuse a random child openly in public. And there is not much of a reason to leave your child alone at a drag queen event.

    When you get to religious events however, children are left alone with religious leaders and volunteers all the time. So many religious individuals seem to trust that just because someone says they’re religious, they are inherently more trustworthy. That somehow simply being in the group is a vetting process of some sort. When you add on the extremely common focus on having those children do whatever their elders say, without any second-guessing, and you have created a group of victims ready to abuse. Organized religions like Christianity create an atmosphere perfect for an abuser to target and abuse while hiding in plain site. And even if the child tries to tell their parents, they often aren’t believed, because “children lie”.

    Saw this exact thing happen to one of my neighbor’s girls. She was abused for almost 5 years from the age of 4 while the family ignored what she tried to tell them. He was abusing several children, and it only ended because he happened to get caught in the act at an event.






  • I’m getting really tired of payment processors deciding what adults should be able to do with their money.

    Same with lazy platforms and advertisers that aren’t even targeting children resulting in dogshit censorship across the internet.

    We’re honestly supposed to believe that with the advanced algorithms, metadata matching systems, and audience targeting systems that these fucks use, that they can’t tell with high certainty whether an account is an adult or a child, and allow the appropriate type of ads through? Especially when many of them require accounts that require you provide that information. Get fucked.





  • I never said it did, but at the same time the fact is that those people probably aren’t needed anymore. And they may not be for a year or more for another project. That’s the nature of development like this. A lot of game development is very specific and people are hired for that specific need. Unless the studio is large enough to be handling multiple projects in various stages of development, keeping all those developers on staff that have no work to do for months or years after release doesn’t make sense.

    Just pointing out that it shouldn’t be taken by anyone as an indictment of the game or development team, how it was received, or necessarily any future plans. It’s par for the course.
