My comment which is still “pending approval” a.k.a. “we don’t want the opinions of anyone who disagrees with us” which is unlikely to be posted:
I think the comments here show a pathetic amount of unquestioned pro-fascism and pro-censorship viewpoints while pretending to be protecting the rights of marginalized groups. The logic behind shutting down this Kickstarter project is no different than accusing people of crimes that they’re innocent of and have never committed. Accusing them of suspicious intent is ridiculous. Who on earth can “prove” a good faith claim in this instance? This logic is no different than condemning them as guilty and demanding they prove their innocence, and then arrogantly proclaiming it is “safer” for nameless, faceless “minorities” that these people be censored from wanting to pursue an adult hobby when they haven’t committed a crime or made any commentary supporting any sort of abuse on anyone. This is absurd.
And, matter of fact, for what reason are people castigating the indie developers for wanting to support an adult porn project with fantasy, nude women? The underlying assumption is that nobody who is “serious” could support such a “childish” endeavor while the article plays out some sort of pathetic double-speak implying they support people having private kinks when they obviously do not since the article supports the censorship. What is the takeaway here? Why the implication that nobody who is a serious person could support them and the spurious accusations that require them to be judged guilty to prove their innocence?
It seems to me that this pathetic article heavily implies the cultural standard of Christian Conservatism and forcefully advocates that anyone not comporting to this Christian Conservative standard isn’t being a serious person. Meanwhile, this very same moral basis perniciously being advocated has been and continues to cause the actual rape of children in every single civilization and society in which the narcissistic, pedophilic teachings of Jesus Christ have been imposed upon the world. In fact, even in areas where Christians are a minority, they’re more likely to commit child rape compared to other religious groups. The doctrine of Jesus Christ’s forgiveness causes child rape since Jesus Christ forgiving all sins means Jesus Christ forgives child rape. Yet, that very serious issue which is caused by Christian moral values is ignored despite numerous news reports from the early 2000s onwards and that moral basis that promotes child rape is being stealthily utilized and promoted to support censorship of fictional adult women’s bodies.
