It's among the next 3 things on the list. You can expect it in gimp 3.1.0 in 2056

Just pointing out the obvious here, but the problem isn't organizations like Collective Shout. And there has been a rather worrying development of this issue where people seem to focus on these organizations rather than the actual problem.

Payment processing is a utility. Credit card companies should not be allowed to pick and choose who they allow and who they block. That's the job of the government. Anything illegal can be blocked, but blocking anything legal such as the delisted games, or the Japanese manga sites that visa and MasterCard killed, should count as discriminatory practice and antitrust violation.

Japan is on track to force credit card companies to allow all legal transactions indiscriminately, and we need the same thing to happen in the EU and US. Once we have this fixed, organizations will be forced to instead try to outlaw the games, which is a million times harder.

If we bully organizations like collective shout out of existence, new ones will pop up to take its place, and the cycle repeats, but if we regulate credit card companies, we essentially cure the disease.

Back in uni, most of these dark patterns were taught as "game design fundamentals".

Now as I work on my indie games, I avoid using what I learned in uni.

Game design all boils down to "is it fun?" and anything else is bullshit sales tactics.

I wish the site also focused on real games, and not just mobile games.

Blahaj mods (especially the one modding ghazi, transgender and 196) are the worst kind of mods. They promote blatant misinformation, remove posts calling said misinformation out, and they ban people and label them transphobes despite there being no transphobic words or implications whatsoever in your comments.

Just block the entire instance and move on. There are better instances that better represent the lgbt community.

Source: my ban message is the same as yours, and I have never said or implied anything remotely transphobic.
