The world if there was a typesetter that did not have these problems

I think these awards felt especially boring because categories like Best RPG and Best Indie each honor overall quality among a subset rather than a specific craft. If a game is the best of the year, and it’s an RPG, obviously it is also the best RPG. Needs an overhaul to avoid pointless repetition

Great! So user goes to a page that uses this hack, it fails in their face, and they drop Ladybird for any mainstream browser.

After actual bits of footage on major game events, after demo on Gamescom, cancelled at the last minute? Come on

'We're not safe here' In the immediate days after, creators have found themselves at a loss of what to do. Game developer krispycat, also known as ButterflyLatte, reports that her NSFW game demo, known as "The Seventh Bride," was deindexed, and is only shown when specifically searched for. It wasn't just this game, either. "On a whim, I tried to search up my SFW games as well - Wendy, warm, Like Seafoam. These games are fairly innocent and wholesome; 'warm' and 'Wendy' star children. However, they don't appear in the suggestions either - I suspect it's because they're yuri games," she recounted, describing a genre of fiction which depicts romance between two female characters and has no inherent sexual elements.

Some creators report that an entire game jam - or collection of games developed in a short period to build community - was affected. The Toxic Yuri Game Jam, consisting of over 200 different games, saw significant hits, with over half of the games delisted and several being completely removed from the site. One user, known as Kastel, describes how a joke game they made was delisted squarely for having the tag "erotic." They mention how this jam was filled with first time developers, and how the occurrence of these bans led to mass panic, watching a happy community turn into people feeling completely doomed. "I've done a bunch of these game jams, so I'm giving them advice. And then I'm looking at all this and it's just... what do I even say? This is a pretty bad situation. I can't pretend that this is good. This isn't a wonderful thing we can all survive. It's pretty rough. I feel bad for everyone, especially because it's their first wave of censorship."

“She was not the only developer who reported the company singling out yuri content.”

Games journalists really dropped the ball on itchio targeting yuri content, both SFW and NSFW

The censorship of Toxic Yuri Game Jam hasn’t gotten any coverage from the games press

so what happens when internet censorship and privacy is on the cusp of happening and no one at any level of power in any country seems to want to do anything about it

Herein lies the problem. There is no legal definition of "adult" — it means different things to different people, and different processors.

And the right-wing is aggressively pushing to categorize anything LGBTQ+ as "adult."

Financial censorship is censorship.

Lastly, for cases like that, when it happens because of outage or censorship.

Shame that some sites try to go out of their way to block downloading/copying. Thanksfully, text is the easiest thing ever to scrape, so I keep my custom scripts for sites like fanficus always updated.

And that's one of the reasons why I always download works as .epub, and then use MoonReader/PocketBook to read them.

First of all, you get superior experience with software actually designed for reading books.
Secondly, if author decides to delete their work, you still keep what you already have

Marlon Wayans responds to Soulja Boy calling him a homophobic slur for supporting his transgender child:

“If [Soulja Boy] had a career he could get cancelled for this type of slander. Luckily he ain’t been relevant since 2007.”

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
