Thank god!

I had a conversation with one of these kiddie porn paddlers on Twitter. They bought Twitter ads to advertise their Steam-sold child porn game where not only were their underage girls, but you took pictures of them in change rooms without consent and so on. I said something to the effect of "how can you sleep at night selling clear images of child sexual abuse" and their reply was literally "it sells".

Reporting it to Twitter went nowhere and I continued to see ads for the game for some time. Thanks ad algorithm.

While it annoys me that Activision, EA and Ubisoft all have their own stores instead of using the neutral Steam store, I totally understand that few would want their games on such a pedophilic cess pool. I'm sure revenue sharing is the bigger cause, but god damn. Make a fucking Half Life game instead of being a host for interactive child molestation. Fuck.
