This is bullshit. Top Gun did super well and was as American as can be. This is a cop-out by James Gunn.
James Gunn says "anti-American sentiment around the world right now" is not helping #Superman at the global box office. “We’re definitely performing better domestically than we are internationally, but internationally is also rising and having really good weekday numbers in the…
Collective Shout has many ex-Australia gov officials as members.
This is the Movement Operations Manager at "Collective Shout" advocating for the banning of anime For clarification back in 2020 a Australian Senator used anime like "Goblin Slayer" and "No Game No Life" to try and get a sweeping ban
Japan is pushing back on payment processors for anti-trust.
HUGE VICTORY The fact Japan issued sanctions against Payment Processers for Anti-Trust law Violations showcases how all the "Collective Shout" drama has escalated greatly. This is why we need to continue speaking up
Wut?
What the actual fuck is going on where Crystal Dynamics are making companies cross reference MALE ANATOMY for Lara Croft!? To me it’s just totally indisputable that there’s a clear agenda to strip away femininity and reshape women into some bland, androgynous mess.
The gaming industry is fighting back hard, filing claims of alleged violation of EU rules. Stop Killing Games really lit a fire. The battle has only just started. Keep pushing.
They are insane.
there's also this little golden nugget, the one where they went after a breast cancer charity.
Collective Shout believes big boobs don’t exist and want to ban games with them. Are they gonna have a cup size limit? Will they go after bra manufactures next for selling anything above a C cup? This isn’t just about porn. They always get a foot in that way, then it just leads…
The co-founder of Collective Shout hates your anime, and bakery buns, but feels Netflix’s “Cuties” is important.
Visa and Mastercard go hard on Anime, thinking all of anime is “porn” but go easy on Child Exploitation and sites like OnlyFans. There is a dual standard at play here, and people are noticing.
Some “brand protection” they have alright…
PayPal wanted to fine you $2500 for what they deemed “misinformation,” later claiming that this was an “error.” LOL, like legal terms requiring thousands of dollars of legal work just routinely “slip into” TOS agreements.
Payment processors shut down and censored artists on gumroad, pixiv and many Japanese art sites. Some was porn, some was merely adult.
Visa and Mastercard enthusiastically added tracking to firearm and ammunition purchases. This isn’t all they’ve done that is firearm related.
Remember Visa and Mastercard doing this to Japanese Doujinsi sites?
Despite already blocking payments with visa and mastercard, japanese Doujinshi website DLsite announces they will start blocking certain countries from viewing content Credit card companies are just the tip of the iceberg, there's a very coordinated attack on Japan's freedom
I don’t think Collective Shout is the root cause. I believe, and I may be wrong, that it was just a case of them getting lucky pulling down a bunch of nobody-ever-heard-of Steam games that were clearly disgusting. They would like to expand this to cover their agenda on such…
