Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

That shit just doesn’t belong in video games- period. There’s no good purpose to it. It never adds to the game at all… it’s fucking pointless.
In your opinion, do not speak for everyone else, plenty do enjoy a good sex scene. I bet you don't say shit about the violence, blood and gore in video games.
The only disgusting part here is the lack of consent and communication to the performers as per the article.
Go clutch your pearls elsewhere
There’s no purpose to it at all. Fucking a pixelated character in a video game ads nothing to the story. And since you’re here to cast aspersions-
You can go simp elsewhere.
I didn’t attack anyone. I simply stated my opinion. Grow up.
Your opinion of "This offends me, therefore noone should be able to enjoy it" has been noted and disregarded, Karen.
I never said it offends me, did I? I just said it’s fucking stupid and adds nothing to the games.
Maybe stop reading what you want things to say so you can be the hero and maybe pay attention?
I simply stated an opinion. You got butthurt and wept all over the discussion. Your problem. Not mine.
Cope.
You definitely sound more butthurt than he does. Anyways, have a good day!
You too!
Why do t you get out of our business. If I wanna fuck a pixel that's my damn business.

Weirdo snowflake rofl
Grow up.
Hard disagree. But that's okay, we're allowed to like different kinds of games. Yours isn't any more objective than mine though. If you don't like that kind of thing, just don't play those kinds of games. It's not a threat to you if others enjoy them.
Insane take. Are stories not allowed to explore SA now? That's silencing of women's (and many men's) experience in a way that it could actually be heard and understood.
Dumb take border lining on censorship
I don't think you understand that it's not for porn sake, these aren't all hot coffee scenes and such. It sounds like actors had to rape and harm people for dramatic effect, like you'd see on TV (e.g. Game of Thrones comes to mind). While it's not really my cup of tea either, I think it can certainly amp up the tension and suspense. Far from pointless.
The problem in this case is a matter of disclosure; Video Game companies are not used to walking the same thin line with actors as TV and Movie producers (who still haven't fully grasped it either but have gotten better, e.g. having consent coaches on staff and such).
"Art should not represent themes of sexual assault" Wtf are you on
Show me where I said that? I specifically meant sex in general. They’re games. Not simp simulators. But even if I had- if you need sexual assault to be in video games….. VIDEO GAMES-
“I want to see sexual assault and rape!” wtf are YOU on.
How do you like being misquoted?
I mean, you could just not play the games that feature it instead of implying that it shouldn't ever be in any game ever.
