It's fiction. It's not real. If you have an actual study that shows that it causes actual harm, I'll listen to you but until then you're just making moralistic argument for no discernable reason besides that it makes you feel icky.

Most people don't seem to be genuinely interested in doing this work or making this type of content, either

Bullshit. The Indie horror scene is and has always been huge. People enjoy it and IT DOESNT HURT ANYONE so there's no reason to outlaw it. What does need to be outlaws is coercive business practices that keeps employees from having to experience these forms of media against their will. Again every single one of my comments has been pro-worker. You would rather impress your own morals on others without ANY scientific backing or attempt to understand another's point of view. You are literally saying the same arguments that SWERFS say to attack sex workers.

Believe it or not, I think communism is about raising up the proletariat, not policing video games.

there's just a point where worker rights needs to be prioritized over your desire for simulated snuff treats, and we've already gone well past the point.

Literally all of my comments have said that the workers should be protected. If everyone consents to making a violent video game without coercion then there's no reason to stop them.

Literally what is the point of communism if our goals are not to protect people and improve lives?

How is banning violent video games improving lives? How is it protecting people? The point of communism is not to prevent someone from getting scared because they actively chose to consume violent media.

What is the difference between a gory video game and a gory movie? Are you suggesting that people should not be able to decide of their own free will to engage with these forms of media? Where would the line be drawn? Who would draw the line? Again, no one's livelihood should be on the line if they don't want to engage with it, but if people choose to traumatize themselves, who is to say they can't?

If we want to call ourselves revolutionary communists, we have to imagine a world where we pick up arms and actually engage in war. Even the most ultraviolent video games are literal child's play compared to that. We can't sit here and be afraid of Mortal Kombat.

That's not what we want to see, LargePenis

Obviously, traumatizing your workers should be a crime. That being said, I think abhorring violence is liberalism tbh. It isn't the violence of the video games that is an issue, it is the culture around the violence. If you can shoot a gun in a game, it's a big difference if that gun is aimed at a Nazi vs a 'jihadi militant' or whatever racist shit COD is about.

What is the porn parody version of refreshing hexbear because the servers are down and the former president just got shot?

I think every one earth wants to be considered hot, smart, and funny. If your partner says something that comes off as suggesting you are not one of those things, it can be hurtful.

But what if the bicyclist thought they could do that because they were drinking? soviet-hmm

Ice cold take but I can't stand styx. I like prog a lot but they are garbage.

I predict the most voracious fellating that can be watched without a prompt asking "Are you over 18?" Musk needs people to like him and he wants Trump's followers to become his reply guys. But he also has a super fragile ego, and Trump likes to mock people, so it could be a glorious mess.

Cottage cheese is also dairy

Eugh, that is literal slop. I'd say have some self-respect but no one should respect a cop.

I recently got a Google Pixel 7 pro because my previous phone was glitching out and it was a headache. I didn't buy the phone for the camera, I have a mirrorless that I use when I want to take a picture, I got it for the battery life and to not have Samsung bloatware.

But still every once in a while I want to take a quick pic and send it on signal or Snapchat or something, and every time it comes out way too saturated and way too sharpened. All the ads I saw for this phone was for camera features like the magic eraser thing and the night vision, but they're all just covering for what is the worst camera sensor that they could possibly find. You can't control the exposure, you can't get the raw image, It is a horrible experience to take a picture with this phone every single time.

If you want a smartphone to be able to take good pictures. First of all, don't. Get a camera. Second of all, steer clear of the pixel phones.
