Please it's going to be about a Princess who doesn't want to be a Princess she wants to do boy stuff and at the end she just does boy stuff and they'll never address whether she's trans or not. It'll be like Persona 4 that has a character dress like a boy to be taken seriously but she isn't a boy and is fine with being a girl and not trans but boy howdy do people love to go "she's totally trans you guys"

So...with this big ultra puritanical new obscenity clause in Microsoft's TOSes company wide, are they basically cutting their nose off to spite their face?

It's easier to find "good enough" than the real McCoy.

I mean hell the only videogame I can think of with a trans person in general is Catherine and I don't really know how well she was handled so that's a fair enough point.

If you kill a centaur and eat his horse meat and leave his man meat alone, is it considered cannibalism? Because that seems like an awful waste of horse meat.

It's a response to new legislature that can hold companies responsible if they're believed to have been involved in human trafficking, which has really only shut down a bunch of avenues for legitimate sex workers.

Yeah, best part is the government was told it’s unconstitutional because it’s retroactive. They went ahead as is

Because that seems like an awful waste of horse meat. Besides, it's only cannibalism if it's the same species. Humans and centaurs are different species, so if they eat us or we eat them it's not cannibalism.

If they're pushing an anti-obscenity clause because of sex trafficking it's about god drat time. If not then please disregard.

IIRC, the main argument is that this isn't actually going to do anything significant against sex trafficking, but it is going to force sex workers into less safe avenues of communication. Basically the same result of all anti-prostitution regulations.

I'm sure the details in that Newsweek article are involved, but mostly it's more fallout from the feds new laws about corporate responsibility claiming to be about sex trafficking, like craigslist eliminating their dating section or amazon moving all books flagged with explicit content down to the no reviews ghetto. Basically starting 5/1, MS is banning all naughty content across the board and are saying they reserve the right to monitor everything. Want to have a sexy video date on skype with your partner? Talking poo poo on xbox live? Have a manuscript saved to office's cloud that has an f-bomb in it? You're boned now.

Google had a ton of anti-porn settings built in after a while, Bing didn't. That's pretty much it.

If you Google Image Search a porn star, you get pictures of them clothed. If you Bing Image Search a porn star, you... do not get pictures of them clothed. Here are the first three rows of Asa Akira in GIS. It's but apart from a large dildo she's holding while clothed, it's PG-13 at worst. Here are the first three rows of Asa Akira in Bing image search. That link contains hardcore pornography - don't click it if you don't want to see that. Bing is basically where Google was about 7-8 years ago for image searches.

I dont know if it still does but you used to be able to play videos right from bing too. Its video thumbnails would just show hardcore porn with no filter or anything. I believe they putt a blur filter over it now

Basically the same result of all anti-prostitution regulations. Basically, FOSTA claims to be about human trafficking but is actually so broad that it can be interpreted to criminalize any form of legal sex work (including porn, cam sites, and selling pictures and videos). It doesn’t see a difference between a teenager kidnapped and forced into prostitution and a college student doing porn on Chaturbate to pay for tuition. And then it places the penalties on the company that was deemed to facilitate this, like Google. So Microsoft freaked out and changed its ToS to ban as much “obscenity” as possible to avoid criminal penalties for someone using Microsoft for something like camming.

I like the Google way because I’m signed into the same account at work as I am at home with safe search turned off and I appreciate Google not misunderstanding my search query for “dicks sport good” and sticking the absolute worst options first. Microsoft can get away with that because no one uses Bing at work.

Press dies have punches for punching holes. Some of them have collars around the punch to prevent pulling the material back, this action is called stripping. Someone at work got a call about their search history for "greasing up worn stripper bushes"

Cross Posting as it's funny and Marketing Relevant: There was a PC game that I saw that had the best review quote ever due to how inappropriate/perfect it was, although I didn't buy it as I hate RTSs: It was called East India Trading Company. The review text? "This game will pick you up and never let you go" I found that hilarious due to the literal meaning actually applying (the company was one of the biggest parts of the American Slave Trade)
