SCREEN ACT:
-full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)
-Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft.
-id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation
-draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving
KOSA:
-creates "duty of care,โ meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors.
-who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration
-it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed.
-the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

if you value queer games you should defend porn games not because they're a trojan horse to get at the Good, Virtuous Queer Games you like but because pornography is a driver of queer art, as much in games as in any other form 1/

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.
The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.
Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

i just remembered that if you're monetized on youtube, you can block certain ads to specific URLs so I have gone ahead and blocked ICE ads. but if you see a smaller channel with these ads, just no they didn't choose it and have no control.

Remember, if youre american, contact your reps and urge them not to support KOSA and the SCREEN act!
Unlike Pay-pros, you dont need to waste time. All they NEED is to know is that you dont support it. Heres some talking points if desired tho:

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net
my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors of parasocial obsession and misogyny. There are references to sexual assault and violence against women, as well as depictions of gore โ this was never a secret. This was the point.
It was intended to be released for sale on July 22, 2025 on Steam โ the largest video game storefront in the world.
Instead, it was removed from Steam and banned for sale.
VILE: Exhumed was not banned for its use of gore, or its intense themes โ themes that are sensitive but many players related to โ it was wrongfully banned for โsexual content with depictions of real people.โ
The game covers topics of assault, abuse, and entitlement, and uses a combination of FMV and practical effects to create images as horrifying as the themes. This was never a secret. There are a lot of intense visuals in VILE: Exhumed, but there is no uncensored nudity, no depictions of sex acts, and no pornography whatsoever โ which is one of the justifications bad actors are using right now to censor games.
What this actually results in is taking power and storytelling away from women, other marginalized artists, and ultimately, from everyone.
This censorship of my work is a direct attack on creative expression and artistic freedom, and it will not stop with false accusations of sexual content.
They will come for anything that speaks more loudly than they do.
By giving the game away, for free, to whoever wants to play it, I am doing the same thing I set out to do when I started working on VILE: Exhumed, a game about sexual assault, male entitlement, and misogyny. Taking back my agency.
No one is allowed to dictate what kind of horror is acceptable, or what stories are allowed to be told.
VILE: Exhumed is now available to download for free as shareware under a CC BY-NC-ND license through a few different methods on this page. This felt like the best option to make the game available to โฆ
VILE: Exhumed, which was banned very shortly before its scheduled Steam release, has been released for free online, including on Github and the Internet Archive. Cara's statement, per the IA page:

Reminder,
Twitch (and other platforms) don't allow creators to control what ads are run on their streams, videos/VODs, podcasts, etc.
PLEASE don't instantly assume we want this. We're very likely just as pissed off (if not more) than you are about this.
Help us yell at the platform instead.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.
If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.
Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

If youโre scared of being censored or punished by marking it as adult content, you literally wonโt.
Just makes it easier scrolling in public so it warns first. Plus people can set to auto-show adult content anyways.
Literally NO excuse to not mark your shit correctly.
