Collective Shout — the notorious feminist censorship group — just got a Change.org petition against them removed by feminist moderators. The petition called out their long-running grift: weaponizing false “violence against women” narratives to strong-arm payment processors like Visa and Mastercard into pressuring platforms such as Steam to ban thousands of NSFW games. Instead of allowing open discussion, Change.org moderators silenced the pushback — proving exactly why Collective Shout’s critics call them authoritarian. In this video, I break down their hypocrisy, their selective outrage, and why their “victim” narrative is falling apart.

A leaked email — shared with me via an anonymous tip — exposes Collective Shout labeling anyone who questions their authoritarian tactics as “enemies.” This is the same group that claims to be the victims in their censorship crusade, all while pressuring payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal to blacklist games they don’t like. Now, their hypocrisy is in writing. In this video, I break down the leaked email, what it reveals about their grift, and why their “poor us” routine is collapsing under its own lies.

Contraband, the Xbox exclusive from Avalanche Studios, has been officially canceled after four years of silence — and yes, Sweet Baby Inc. worked on it. This is just the latest example of what’s becoming an undeniable trend: the Sweet Baby Inc. curse. From failed live service games to canceled projects, every time SBI touches a game, disaster follows. In this video, I break down Contraband’s troubled history, why Xbox pulled the plug, and how the SBI curse keeps claiming victims.

Street Fighter 6 just got a huge player boost — and it’s all thanks to Chun-Li’s new swimsuit outfit. Capcom dropped a summer costume pack, but Chun-Li’s “gooner” skin has completely taken over social media, with viral posts, fan art, and memes everywhere. Steam’s player count jumped from under 9,000 to over 50,000 in days, proving that Capcom knows exactly what it’s doing. In this video, I break down the numbers, the reaction, and why Chun-Li is carrying SF6 right now.

Nintendo has done it again — this time, forcing Japan’s biggest charity speedrunning event, RTA Summer 2025, to remove all Nintendo titles from their lineup. The organizers revealed they got a warning from Nintendo that any past streams were “unauthorized use” and that they’d need special permission to feature Nintendo games going forward. In this video, I break down what happened, why this is yet another anti-fan move from Nintendo, and what it could mean for the speedrunning community.

Collective Shout — the Australian censorship group behind massive game bans on Steam and Itch.io — is now bizarrely framing themselves as the victims of “Gamergate 3” to grab attention. After pressuring payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal to blacklist games they don’t like, they’re crying harassment and trying to rewrite history to paint themselves as heroic martyrs. In this video, I break down how absurd this narrative is, how they’re weaponizing moral panic, and why this desperate PR stunt shows they’re running out of real influence.

Three years after buying Bungie for $3.6 billion and promising the studio independence, Sony has decided that experiment is over. CFO Lin Tao confirmed during Sony’s quarterly earnings call that Bungie’s future is now “to become part of PlayStation Studios.” After a rocky stretch marked by layoffs, delays, and declining Destiny 2 revenue, Sony’s patience has run out. In this video, I break down what this means for Bungie, Destiny, and PlayStation’s future.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order titled “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” — and it could be a massive blow to payment processor censorship. The order targets Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, and other financial institutions that have been using “reputation risk” clauses to punish people for constitutionally protected speech, political views, or affiliations.
