During our campaign to get 3D pornographic rape and incest simulation game No Mercy off the Steam gaming platform, we heard from many female gamers distressed about the game. We have shared some of their stories already - gamers who were also survivors of sexual assault including incest. We have since discovered hundreds of other rape and incest-themed games on Steam, as well as a large number of child sexual abuse simulation games on Itch-io and other platforms. We’ve also learned that PayPal even facilitates and profits from their sale. As a result, our campaign against games which treat sexual violence as entertainment is ongoing.

Here’s Ashlea’s thoughts and experience as a female gamer.

Warning: Graphic content

Over the last few months, we’ve been alarmed to witness the spread of significant misinformation online in defence of misogynist influencer, accused rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his co-pimp brother Tristan.  

We could respond to these Tate defenders ourselves. But, we thought it would be even more effective to share Tate's own words - the most damning evidence that can be offered against him.

What are your views on women? Apparently, according to some, they should be:

bound, gagged, naked, treated as animals, degraded, humiliated and subordinate. Women exist to be used then thrown out with the rubbish.

That's a neat summary, from a petition by Collective Shout, of the images on t-shirts being sold by TeePublic, owned by Melbourne based parent company Articore.

World 'moved on' from Ultra Tune misogyny

Former boxer and misogynist influencer Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania on charges of human trafficking, rape and organised crime. He was arrested alongside his brother and two other suspects, and is now in pre-trial detention while police continue to investigate.

'Women don't need shoutouts from serial sexist mags like Maxim"

Andrew Tate is exactly who we do not want the world’s teenagers listening to. He is lowering girls’ self-esteem and teaching boys to be brutal towards women.

Claims that the song and music video "Wet Ass Pussy" (WAP) by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are "feminist" and "empowering" are false. Here we answer some of the most common claims defending the song.
