    1. Add censorship for mods containing adult (sexual) content.

    2. Slowly move the bar so that more content falls under definition of “adult” (themes of violence, LGBTQ+ themes).

    3. Continue to move the bar until desired level of censorship is obtained.

    Well done, you’ve used moral panic to control your media.

    Dark futures aside, why do I think that folks are just going to VPN their way in?

    I’m glad they aren’t just nuking every sexy mod from the site and chose to comply instead.

    Loverslab would’ve crashed from all the sign ups lol.

    I miss the internet being a wild west.

    It certainly had its downsides, but it felt a lot better than the nonsense that’s been happening over the past decade+.

    It sucks that they have to do this. But I prefer this than to simply lock out users from the affected countries.

    (Looking at steam here, not bothering to create age verification, which in turn means in some coubtries some games are not visible at all)

    Nexus mods love censorship, so this makes sense. New VC owners coming in hot with getting it ready to sell off to the biggest corporate company.

          They’re a public platform, they have to moderate and “control” what gets posted, otherwise they get into trouble for it publicly.

            I guess you haven’t been paying attention to them nuking and banning mods that they don’t like ideologically then?

              You are moving the goalpost now, we know about the mods, but this is compliance. They either implement this, or blacklist the entire UK and EU from accessing the site.

                I’m just saying, I bet they couldn’t wait to implement this. They’ll likely roll it out worldwide soon enough even when not forced to.

                The best example are the ones that replace “Type 1 / Type 2” with “Male / Female” in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.

                  I love seeing conservative snowflakes complaining about censorship when it’s literally the most stupid small changes, you make it sound like the game is unplayable because it’s acknowledges/supports minorities in non-impactful ways.

                  But no mention of the games and mods that let you play out genocide/rape.

                  It’s the pride flags that are the problem. /s
