Collective Shout

Collective Shout, an activist organization, has campaigned against certain video games, arguing they promote harmful content. The group has previously urged companies such as PayPal and Mastercard to withdraw support from platforms like Steam, which led to the removal of thousands of titles. More recently, Collective Shout has sought involvement from international law enforcement, including Interpol, in cases where criticism of their work has been labeled as harassment or threats. At the same time, some critics allege that certain threats reported by the group may have been fabricated in order to attract sympathy and funding. The debate highlights ongoing tensions between advocacy groups, game developers, and the wider gaming community over censorship, free expression, and online safety.

What do you guys think about this?

They go after fiction, because they like the real life stuff apparently.

Another activist group? Great, get in the long lineup; maybe you'll be one of the successful groups who'll be good enough to push-back the clock.

'Oh', yeah! Those scum bags: That's just another "non-profit organisation" that is pushing forward the corporate agenda through a 'totally' non ulterior-motivated privately funded group who hides their real motives through virtue signalling activism.

It's nothing too new in today's society, I think very little of it. It's more common than you'd imagine. I'm a little surprised that they're not also gearing this as some sort of charity-based event too while they're at it.
