Go ahead and argue with Patreon lol

Could've at least put it on the itch.io page or at the very least used coded language. Sure it was profitable to lie in the game, but it wasn't profitable to "forget" on your itch page.
"But what if Patreon staff read the itch.io page and sees there's a content warning?" What if some asshole reads the itch.io page and sees there isn't?

While I'm miffed too at the current lack of content warnings, you gotta understand, they have no business anymore if they go by the increasingly draconian ruleset designed to drive independent creators and small studios to the brink so institutional providers won't have competition anymore. If you know anything about capitalist business history, you'll see the patterns. What they can and can't do and still expect a return on their work is growing worse and worse by the day. Cut them some slack.

These rules weren't made to keep the little guy down. Nintendo is not afraid of a game about a catgirl getting raped. Capcom is not afraid. Rockstar is not even afraid. They are not worried about it eating into their market shares. I don't need to read Das Kapital to know that.

I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about a field that see's increased regulation so that the fruits of the patrolled field can be reaped by some company or other that has the right connections. Could be anything, so long as they play the DEI and ESG fields as prescribed by the institutional investors that control our entire economy. You can't watch the same thing happen in near to every sector in our economy and not suspect it reaches further. From medicine to military, newsrooms to payment providers. Increased regulations are paving the way for something else, most of the time.

Bullshit. What could mastercard possibly be paving the way for in this endeaver?

Mastercard, nothing. But institutional investors are willing to lose a LOT of money on Disney to keep that propaganda machine rolling, billions in losses and they just voted to make sure nothing changes at all. The real muscle holds the line. Pelts couldn't do anything about it in the end. There's a lot going on at all times, money moves, and it tells stories. Why not take a look? By the end of that rabbit hole, you'll look at this stuff a lot differently.

actually everyone arguing milkshake8910 is wrong and an ass they're literally right. if the game was made less profitable because it depicts rape then that's a blow you have to take as a creator choosing to depict rape. And even if the creator absolutely NEEDED all of the money they could possibly get and thus NEEDED to lie to patreon and itch in order to sell this game at all costs coded language in the description is literally the least you could do or a warning in the actual game. If you started playing a fun sexy platformer game and all of a sudden there was a surprising unexpected and sudden necrophilia scene when the description gives no hint of it you would be furious. Rape is under-fucking-standably triggering content asshole this isn't a moment to defend the move by quoting some marxian text.
Also there are literally niche fetish gaming sites where this could be advertised to to help boost the eyes and wallets on this game. Sites that literally exist to help minimize the income loss from being honest about the game contents.

like seriously I'm into hypnosis content I'm not a stranger to dubcon but I had zero idea this game had rape scenes. Thank heavens I read the comments because even I would probably have been triggered by it suddenly and unexpectedly being a part of the game. Hell the amount of degenerates on Itch and the use of 4chan language obviously marketing the game to a specific demographic it probably would have been a selling point even. This is not actually defensible and it's not fostering a healthy community of cnc if you're exposing people to rape content without consent.

Damn imagine thinking people wouldn't be upset to find fucked up things unexpectedly in their porn. If you're literally so cum brained that porn content suddenly and unexpectedly introducing potentially triggering content wouldn't even phase you and then thinking your experience must be universal. If you were watching something on ph about femboy anal amatuer and all of a sudden it's a snuff film it would be pretty fucked up no??? Have you completely forgotten that rape is a very real and very violent act that actually happens to actual human beings and fucks them up for the rest of their life or do you believe you can cum directly into the cervix and everyone would secretly be okay with incest or some shit.Touch grass and seek therapy.
