> Why would you think that this company needs to Thought Police their gamers when thousands of others are able to host creativity based games without being dystopian?

Wow. You act as if that's something new :D

There's even an actual job for doing just that: it's called an editor. You know, the people who work in media, publishing houses, TV, radio, papers, magazines, that kind of thing. It's what they do. Everywhere. Editing content. Removing comments, changing words, making sure the views represented in the publication match the intentions and policies of the investors and parent organisations, etc.

You act as if something is new and evil just because it's done with computers. It isn't. It has been the case for as long as papyrus and cave paintings have been around. Back then it was don't anger the chief/king/Pharao, today it's don't anger the Twitter mob or the hand that feeds you. Same difference.

Games are a medium just like magazines or online blogs and comparing blocky dongs in Minecraft with explicit child pornography says a lot about your understanding of "creative expression". Really makes me wonder sometimes.

So right to Godwin's Law we go then - yeah.

I get the feeling it's not me who is the radical here.

There is a difference between wanting to remove content that a company don't want to associate itself with and genocide.

For you to even suggest there's a connection says far more about your twisted logic and dysfunctional thought process than mine.

Also AI dungeon is a multiplayer game so yeah - YOUR freedom of expression is limited by OTHER players freedom of not being subjected to certain content. If you don't understand that, work on your social skills.

What? No it isn't.

Technically there's a "multiplayer" mode but that's fundamentally just people taking turns. Restricting certain kinds of content for that reason is nonsense, akin to restricting the kind of story you can write in google docs because multiple people might have been given access to a document.

So you don't do anything below XK-class end-of-the-world scenarios, so you?

Your massive overreaction shows no difference to your perceived enemies. This is a game and the creators want to limit the game world and the actions therein to exclude certain content.

This isn't about control over what people think. There are social norms and these change over time.

The "facts" in your message are the same kind of facts that your typical Karen shouts into the phone when they call 911 because there's a negro walking through their neighbourhood. Same level of paranoia, same unhinged out of proportion response.

When was the last time RMS was literally hunted down by a mob? Because if he wasn't, I have to ask who the real fragile flowers are - the ones that get easily offended or the guys like you who see freedom being destroyed and the 4th Reich rising because a private company wants to remove child pornography from their product?

Ridiculous.

> this isn't control over what people think

I don't think you understand that banning people over what the Thought Police find "bad" is LITERALLY working to control what people think.

> facts that your typical karen

and you are the typical ignorant fool who complains of "godwin" then resorts to "karen hates black people" drivel. Ignorant of the same calls "Karen" made a hundred times before but all of a sudden skin color matters to everything (hint: there's a word for people who only care about skin color... the funny little hypocrisy of the Woke Crusaders is the racism that permeates every move they make to fight racism by making EVERYTHING about race even when it's not).

> Ridiculous

Considering the other stories about AI dungeon over stepping? I'm more convinced I'm right about the Woke'saders and their march down the same path of others throughout history. It is ridiculous... but that's never stopped the religious in their fervor.

> Child porn

If that's really waht's there? report it to the police and take REAL action... not some half assed Woke'sader steps.

But "think of the childrend" is a close second to "ZOMG THE NAZI'S!" when it comes to justification for overstepping in the Name Of Good. So Sayeth the Wokesaders.
