It’s much worse than that. How they word it is “if it may damage the public image of mastercard”. And they don’t review the content, they review the means used to prevent the damage to their brand.
So valve doesn’t even need to have anything that actually damage mastercard brand, it just need to be that mastercard is not comfortable enough with the measures used to prevent it.
In fact this statement states that they ask their clients to litteraly do the job of justice. That’s quite scary.
Ensuring a card cannot be used to buy illegal content.
That means they can shut you down if they think you didn’t do enough, which is literally their whim.
How do you pay for a steam game without a credit card?
They have the power because states gave it to them. States can very easily take it back. But they won’t because they’re corrupted assholes.
Censorship is always the first step. Genocide is the last step. People getting mad when the first step toward fascism is crossed is a very good thing to fight fascism and try to prevent a future genocide. This is exactly what the poem is about : react on the first step, because it will be too late when the genocide starts.
Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.
If you deny that this meme is disdainful of the “there is a loneliness epidemic” statement, then you’re in bad faith.
Even if what you’re saying is logically true, that’s not the truth people see, as this thread demonstrates. Which means you’re in bad faith here.
If you had any education in logic, A => B => C means something.
When you do this logical development, it means C is the consequence of A.
The même format also implies that C is a stupid assertion, because it’s associated with the clown figure. It says that the existence of a loneliness epidemic is a stupid proposition.
This is denying reality. And this is mocking the people who suffer from loneliness.
The biggest problem is not even the link between incels and loneliness epidemic. It is the denial of the problem. This is litteraly akin to conspiracy theories.
And the progression means thatl only incels come to this conclusion. Which is where it is insulting to many men who aren’t incels.
Except it makes the link with loneliness, which has nothing to do with incels. By doing so, this kind of post litteraly says that alllonely men are like the worst incels.
It is insulting. And it is directly feeding the narrative of the fascists that says that feminists are mere anti-men instead of pro-equality.
This même is a blend of arrogance, ignorance, disdain and malice. Even the fascist are rarely doing so bad.
Yet another idiot who can’t co’'ect two braincells.
Tell me, don’ t you feel like a hypocrite to blame the fascists from disdaining empathy while you are incapable of showing any either?
And you are also an ignorant idiot and an asshole. The lack of empathy and understanding here is absolutely baffling.
No, only sad that people who call themselves progressive are making propaganda for the fascists to recruit.
This is missing the point it’s embarrassing how stupidly wrong and antagonising it
And then you will wonder why young men are misogynistic I guess. The answer is that you’re a fucking antagonising moron.
There’s quite some hypocrisy in learning to use windows, its obscure registry and the shady softwares that will tune it while refusing to copy commands in a terminal.
We shouldn’t have to work to sustain a family, this idea is archaic.
If we want gender equality, it will have to be forced.
Yes. And I haven’t seen as many zealots there than on lemmy.world. There’s not as zealous as the liberals there.
They’re not centrist anymore because they purposefully side with fascists.
What I read is that it is not about illegal content. It is about the measures taken to prevent illegal content from being sold. It’s much more devious than simple censorship.
