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.
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.
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.
