    Reminder: Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has defended child pornography, saying that stopping it is “gatekeeping”.

        As someone who just tried to sign up for a Costco membership online and couldn’t get past the first page of registration, on multiple devices, Costco is kinda shit too, lol.

            Planning on it lol. Was just mildly annoyed because I needed a product I have to order through their website anyway and I’ll probably need to get a month supply somewhere else to hold me over until I can get the membership and finally get it shipped.

      It wasn’t so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.

        Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.

        Your comment is a load of bollocks.

        Sorry to say.

        That’s definitely an opinion. A wrong one, but an opinion.

          That’s fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you’re defending pedophiles if you don’t like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.

              That’s not surprising. There aren’t a lot of people rising up to defend the porn games that got delisted on sites like itch. Don’t worry, once all the porn is gone you’ll be hearing people saying the same thing to you when you argue against using facial recognition to shitpost on the internet. Gotta protect the kids!
