hot take: people ought to start forming morals outside of legal morality. a Lotta freaks are gonna end up illegal otherwise and the freak factor certainly includes some thing you do that your prudish neighbor doesn't like

next they’ll probably want to ban LGBT content since it’s “clearly pornographic”

Unironically it will bring more people to dark corners of the net, foul content was always free. Now i'm not going for these games, but also comparing the entire nsfw genre to specific games is disingenuous. At the same time violence and shocking real life images are fine, right?

Nsfw involves adult themes that aren't sexual.

That means censoring the self expression of consenting adults.

This creates a huge bottleneck that eventually just leads to this growing in the back of the visible. Porn addiction is a problem, sure. How did pre-teens gain access to this content? Didn't parents give them a fully capable computer at all times?

Back when i used a computer, I only had access to research and office, also flash games. Other than that I had other devices and offline games, on cd.

Modern devices have better parental controls but nobody uses them, old computers had virtually none. Turns out you can do your parenting.

The dangers of this privacy invasive solution is the exposure of personal ID to questionable places, while bringing people towards bad places, that don't ask for things.

Kinda like pirating a game as a kid, because you couldn't buy it, but you only got viruses afterwards. Same deal.

Oh it goes deeper than that.

Check out their FAQ. They’re cool with the dehumanization of males too. They’re only advocating for “dehumanization” against females.

A game about torturing women? Unacceptable.

A game about torturing men? Acceptable 👍

They mention some bullshit about how one happens more often and the other doesn’t so that justifies being hypocrites.

By all accounts they aren't religious, we don't have *gestures broadly to American Evangelicalism* going on here in Aus. They just seem to be TERFs and SWERFs.

Don't forget Ruport Murdoch who's been pushing the right wing agenda across the country is an Australian export. This is not unusual from that country honestly.

As if the Yankee sycophants are staying in their own lane as is.

Self-censoring words like "sexualize" is part of the culture responsible for this.

it's a quote

I don't think any country in the anglosphere has a monopoly on exporting shitty people, but I'm hardly going to throw stones what with this glass house I live in.

No no, it represents the crossroads of learning

Discover seems to be the best bet to me so far.

Discover is on the JCB, UnionPay, Troy and RuPay. (japan, China, turkey, and India respectively). Probably many more.

Similarly, a JCB card should work wherever Discover is. It's a billateral alliance.

Oh, and all Discover cards work on Diners Club International because those two networks completely merged.

Alliance members are not 100% acceptance. It seems like 95%+ acceptance though (most JCB will accept most Discover cards and vice versa, though you will get confused looks from the locals). It sounds like there's a lot of old equipment around the countries that break compatibility but cities and other urban areas with new equipment shouldn't have any problems.

I'll probably get a Discover card and start testing this out. I already have Visa and Mastercard but this new censorship issue seems serious enough to make me start supporting a 3rd place competitor.

Between Discover vs AmEx, it seems like AmEx is about elite club / customer service / returns etc. etc. nice features but I'm not sure if it's worth the price.

Discover is free of annual fees, reasonable cash back, mediocre costs for the merchants (better than AmEx anyway and comparable vs Visa) and a surprisingly huge offering of international compatibility (RuPay, JCB, UnionPay, etc Etc). It seems like the winner to me as a 3rd card to experiment with.
