Gamejolt deleted my adult game a few years ago though. They've been very clear that they don't want adult games.

Show post...

It's just unbelievable! 

So now it's all up to itch.io whether they give a damn about the adult developers or not. If they actually care, they should step up and create a brand new payment processor specifically for adult games

But if they don't, then what? The poor adult game developers will be left to starve. It's just not fair. They deserve better than this

"Spread evil?" Speaking as a member of this community, that sounds like Christian fundamentalism. You need to re-examine some assumptions.

So don't look at it. That's your personal choice. You don't get to force it on other adults.

Okay, so you're one of those obnoxious militant asexuals who makes all other asexuals look bad by association. That or a troll. Fine, you're awful, whatever. If nothing else, you're a useful target to argue against for opening up a discussion to justify the existence of adult content to whatever buffoons are actually responsible for this idiotic decision.
Let's look at the causality of adult games and other forms of pornography, specifically pornography with fetishes that would be really bad in real life since that seems to be what you're focusing on (with the blatantly incorrect assumption that all of it is rape or similarly bad stuff; it's not).

Possibility #1: Consumption/production of porn with dangerous fetish increases likehood of people to do that fetish in real life, as you say
Possibility #2: Consumption/production of porn with dangerous fetish helps people get pre-existing desires out of their system, decreasing likelihood of people to do that fetish in real life
Possibility #3: No correlation between consumption/production of porn and likelihood of people to do that fetish in real life; they have a complete disconnect between their thoughts on the actual act and fictional depictions of it

I would guess that all of these occur to some degree, varying from person to person, with #3 being the most common, and #2 being common enough to cancel out #1. I don't actually know, there'd have to be some huge international statistical survey to even begin to figure this out, and if it's happened I don't know it. But until it's certain, the possibility of #2 seems important enough to not just throw it all away out of fear of #1.

There's also a variant of #2, where people try to use porn to get whatever messed up desires out of their system, but fail and end up doing it anyway. This is the most common cause of "There have been many incidents when people playing these games actually did the stuff shown in the game". They would have done the bad thing regardless, the porn was simply an indication of their interest; correlation does not imply causation. Also, though I admit that I don't know the statistics, this also seems like another explanation for "Also many people suffer from psychological problems from playing these games."; maybe it's just that people with psychological problems were more likely to play them.

Regardless, even in the absolute worst case, if you are completely correct that porn only increases the likelihood of rape and other similar sorts of bad stuff and psychological problems... they still wouldn't be "ruining the world" as you've said. They'd be causing a few serious problems, which would get thrown into an ocean of other even worse problems. You know what is ruining the world? Evil and incompetent governments and corporations trying to control everything and everyone and horde all the world's wealth. One of the many methods by which they do this is... censorship! Controlling what we can say, what information and ideas we are allowed to access. They regularly go after adult content because it is such an easy target (because of beliefs like yours), and once they have some laws in place to control it... hey look it turns out that those laws contained a bunch of loopholes that make it apply to stuff other than porn, and sets some precedents that make it easy to expand further with even more laws, now everything is censored, now we are no longer able to even talk about it or know about it let alone resist it whenever some government or corporation destroys the environment or uses slave labor to make their product or commits genocide.
That seems a lot more "evil" to me than drawing or writing about people having sex.

That's horrific, misleading, and doesn't help the discussion in any way.

No time to play stop harassing me !!!

The discussion was over more than a week ago. Please don't start again. Your posts were reported by a lot of people as it is.

Thise debate has been ongoing since there were computer games. we gamers  are sick of it.  every year a new offended knowittall comes along, claiming killing in video games makes people violent and virtue signals on their blog, spreading hate to take down game companies that corrupt the youth. same thing as your bs argument about the adult stuff.  adults do not like teletubbies. adults like stuff that kids are not allowed to do. like driving cars. going camping without supervision. staying up late. and of course    catering to sexual interests, inlcuding playing lewd or violent games.

You do not understand concept of freedom. Here it means to let people do what they like, even if you do not like what they do. 

Do not come to place for adults and preach they do wrong, because they do like adult stuff. And what triggers me especaially ,is your demonstrably  wrong arguments. Find a study that crorelates violence, for instance rape,  with popularity of certain video games, and manages to proof causation and not only correlation. Then we talk.

And like written elsewhere here, I think if you find    causation it will be    that violent people like to play violent games - if they play at all. It is interest based. There is nothing more to it. And I will have you know that there were serious attempts to proofe that those violent games do cause crimes. they failed to proof this for like 30+ years. This was  debunked long ago, so do not rehash false arguments to impose your morals onto others.

Yet you're annoying people to the point that there have been dozens of reports against you just for posts in this topic. You said you were going to stop. Now you're back?

Dude I just mentioned at the end of my post that I was defending myself and I did not want to break itch.io rules.

The thing was that people just started attacking me even though I had stopped and calling me weird stuff like 'obnoxious' and 'cringe'.

I got annoyed and had to clear my position.

However I make it clear I have no intention of starting an argument or to go off topic

Your grasp of English is lacking. That someone likes something does not imply or state that this is an exlusive thing. I can like ice cream and still like vegetables. And with that sentence  "What other people haven't proved in 30 years I'll try to prove it in a few weeks" you have proven my allegation that you are a knowitall. And now lets return to topic, as these posts will probably get deleted.

There is a NSFW Tag on Adult games, isn't that enough?

 Please keep in mind that these are games, and they have PLENTY of warnings before experiencing it, now matter what... They are fictional forever, Data Pixels on the screen, if anyone is fragile enough to be affected by this then they really need a reality check or a Guardian watching over them as they play anything.
if you see any game promoting "Bad content" or "Hateful" then please contact the Dev to atleast give a NSFW warning and tag their game as NSFW so those who chose the "Filter out AdultContent" setting won't get this viewed to them, if they didn't comply Then i "THINK" you have the right to report them.
Goodluck on maintaining your purity.
