Explaining The COLLECTIVE SHOUT vs NO MERCY Drama

In April of 2025, indie game developer @ZeratGames was dogpiled and cancelled by the Australian feminist organization @collectiveshout for the high crime of making a game containing content that the activists disapproved of. In this video, Dev goes over the game and its associated drama. Yes, the game is morally dubious, but does that mean it should be censored or banned? What does it even mean to consent to something, anyway? Are kinks and fetishes that harm nobody, actually harmful? Let's go down the rabbit hole, pals!
