I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

You know, considering the actual severity of the KOSA, SCREEN Act, repealing Section 230, etc. issue the lack of public pushback for censorship is absolutely comical.
People NEED to be public about this or we're genuinely screwed

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

These stories have existed for the entire history of comics. Creators deserve a stake in characters they create (yes even legacy characters).

Also design work in comics is very often treated as an 'invisible' part of the page rate. That's $0 earned to create a new character from scratch -
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

This is a fair question to ask, but so is the opposite: do all the people complaining about the censorship of Horses also complain about the censorship of anime titty games and the like? Because you can only truly be against censorship by opposing it with both of these, not just one or the other.

you are a creator because you create. you are an artist because you make art. you are a writer because you write. it doesn't matter if these things meet some arbitrary idea of "good", it doesn't matter if these things sell or get likes or kudos or reposts. that's what's important

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

I've played my fair share of garbage over the years, but nothing is on the same level of evil as this game. Beating this casually is nothing short of a nightmare. It's a miracle I still like pinball games after this. Sonic Spinball clears this every day of the week. Just rancid. Do not play this!
