They don't actually care about that. Stop humoring their excuses. They're just prudes.

Shouldn't porn games be preferred to actual porn? Less risk of women being sexually exploited when making software?

True. The group pressuring the payment companies were originally a christian group. They can indeed be very prude

I thought I read it was both, but either way it's good not to assume it's always American. The whole world is problematic at times.

They're a conservative Christian organization.

 Their co-founder likes CutiesYeah it's important to note that being prudish is almost as much as a smoke screen as being feminist (*almost* I'm sure they are actually puritans as well); their actual goal is to shut down discussion of abuse against women and children. They want to end anything they might empower them to say no, or prompt the discussion that does so. Otherwise they wouldn't try to get once human pulled from steam for it's depiction of domestic abuse.

It's really awesome when the whole world has to stop using master / slave nomenclature because one country has ugly past.1) not just one country. 2) this is different because no one actually *made* anyone do that. That I know of, no company was going around threatening to cancel services if other companies didn't stop using the term, and certainly no one large and critical. A social pressure to change a word is different from a financial pressure to remove a product.

Please explain to me how I ignored it? This is Twitter style of "you said you like pancakes? That means you hate waffles!"You argued that real porn is bad because of exploitation of women, but there's so much porn out there where that simply isn't true. An obvious example would be gay (male) porn where no women are present. Not that I disagree that there isn't a huge problem of exploitation of women, or staggering amounts of reinforcement of bullshit gender roles, or countless other problems. But, genuinely, not all porn is bad.
