Let’s take a step back from political knee jerk reactions and look at the nuance.

Say 50% of the queer content on itch is innocuous dating sim games much which may not have any pornographic images at all.

There is another chunk, idk the amount, that is clearly not nice and what dishonest groups bundle that 50% into.

There is seemingly little interest even acknowledging that other chunk of content as being a problem though. I dont want queer dating sims to be banned but they are gonna be if no one is honest about what shows up next to them in places where they exist.

What data or evidence do you have to suggest that there's a significantly larger amount pornographic LGBT content than there is pornographic straight content on these sites?

Why does an LGBT creator that makes a game exploring how the Matrix is a transgender allegory have to actively distance themselves from bisexual dating simulators when I don't recall seeing anything from "Enter the Matrix" distancing themselves from straight anime girl dating simulators?

Sigh. You completely miss the point. Oh well. For what it is worth, i am against banning innocuous queer content. Cheers.

That's a lazy and intellectually dishonest way of responding to criticism of your ideas. You made a claim and were asked for evidence. It's your choice whether or not you provide it, but you were in fact understood, and to pretend otherwise is dishonest.

Read the article. What i am saying is exactly what is happening. Totally normal stuff is being bundled with the nasty and the baby is being thrown out with the bath water. Again, i dont want that to happen but people keep defending the gross with the normal which is a losing position. Idk what to tell you. :(
