Docler Holding buys major stake in Playboy

This is Gyorgy 'Gyuri' Gattyan. 

UPDATE: Scroll down to see our response to Zerat Games (developer of No Mercy)

Earlier this week, we exposed 12+ gaming platform Steam hosting rape and incest-themed game No Mercy. In the game, players assume the persona of a man who rapes his female family members as revenge for his mother’s infidelity.

Following our complaint to the Australian Classifications Board, the game was taken down in Australia. Canada and the UK followed, and developer Zerat Games withdrew the game, while our petition hit over 70k signatures – all in less than a week!

In response to our campaign against the rape simulation game, we were subjected to harassment and abuse from gamers defending their access to it (and proving our point in the process). We respond to their arguments below.

‘No Mercy is no longer available on the Steam store’

This is the news we have been waiting for.

And that you, our supporters, have made possible.

More than 3000 emails to Steam CEO Gabe Newell. 70K signatures on our petition. Global media attention.

Making it loudly known that we object to 3D rape + incest simulation games that treat sexual violence as entertainment.

Another victory because there were so many of you who cared enough to protest.

We thank you. And press on.

“The best incest game I have experienced so far”

**Update** Victory! The developer has pulled No Mercy from Steam. Read our statement here.

Warning: Graphic content

No Mercy is a newly released pornographic 3D game developed by Zerat Games and hosted on 12+ gaming platform Steam. In the game, players assume the persona of a man who rapes his female family members, including his mother and his aunt, as punishment for his mother’s infidelity.

The game is promoted as follows (warning, content may be distressing):

The Australian Federal election is Saturday May 3. This is an opportunity to make our key concerns known to almost 700 candidates wanting to secure your vote!

At Collective Shout we are non-partisan. But we do want to know if candidates - of whatever political stripe - care about the issues we do. And then cast our votes accordingly.

To assist you in casting your vote we have prepared five key questions for you to put to your candidates:

• Do you commit to supporting age verification to help protect children from p*rn and not allow the vested interests of the global p*rn industry to undermine the current trial?
• Do you support tighter regulations on Big Tech/social media platforms to hold them accountable for the harms they have caused, especially to young people?
• Do you support laws to stop the creation and dissemination of AI-enabled Deepfake Image Based Sexual Abuse and a global ban on nudifying and undressing apps? 
• Will you take action to tighten up Australia’s classification laws to stop explicit material including torture p*rn-themed graphic novels/comics to be in easy access of children including in public libraries?
• Will you support a new inquiry into advertising self regulation given frequent violation of the ad code of ethics and no penalties for non-compliance meaning more children are exposed to p*rnified depictions of women in public spaces? 

You can find all the background information you’ll need to make the case to your candidates here.

*Update: SoundCloud have removed all of Andrew Tate's trafficking courses. We've amended the email below. You can email SoundCloud to thank them for taking action and to encourage them to moderate their platform so these courses don't get uploaded again.

We recently got Spotify to remove all of Andrew Tate's harmful courses on trafficking women. Spotify confirmed the content violated their policies. Now we are calling on SoundCloud to do the same. SoundCloud are streaming Andrew Tate's Pimping Hoes Degree (PhD) and it has been played thousands of times. This material normalises violence against women, coercive control, and dating abuse. This is not harmless content—it is grooming young men into a mindset that devalues and exploits women and girls.
