Hey #promosky & #gamesky! We're a micro indie studio making our first narrative driven simulation game about queer anarchy, mutual aid, and the UK squatting community! Follow us if you inexplicably wish Animal Crossing had instead been made by Charlie Brooker and was 100x more gay, maybe?

#BoycottGTAVI #BoycottRockstarGames imagine making the most hotly anticipated video game of the decade and choosing to illegally fire the people that have poured their blood sweat and tears into developing it for you all for the crime of asking for fair working conditions.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

You wouldn't form a grassroots collective built upon principles of mutual aid and non-hierarchical community support... Would you?

An Open Letter to Meta

www.outmaking.games/meta-open-le...
Dear Meta, The recent changes to Meta’s content moderation policies put at least 9% of adults around the world at risk. We are Out Making Games (“OMG”), a network of hundreds of LGBTQ+ games professionals, representing millions of LGBTQ+ gamers and individuals around the world. We are writing to express serious concerns about the recent changes to Meta’s content moderation policies and their potential implications for online safety and inclusion for millions around the world. A global survey in 2023 found nearly 1 in 10 adults across 30 countries identify as LGBTQ+. Many will be customers of Meta via Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or the Oculus VR gaming platform and will be put at risk by Meta’s decision to reduce certain automated content filtering mechanisms. Social media platforms serve as crucial spaces for connection, support, and identity expression for many LGBTQ+ individuals, especially those in areas with limited in-person community resources. While potentially aimed at promoting broader dialogue, the changes risk creating an environment where harmful speech can proliferate more easily, and compromising these vital digital spaces. Reduced automated filtering will allow subtle forms of harassment to slip through more frequently. While explicit hate speech might still be caught, coded language and implicit bias often require more nuanced detection systems. The LGBTQ+ community has historically been targeted through such subtle messaging tactics and according to numerous studies, increased exposure to anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric online correlates with higher rates of mental health challenges and decreased feelings of safety in LGBTQ+ communities.The changes will also likely lead LGBTQ+ users to self-censor or withdraw from platforms entirely due to increased exposure to hostile content. This would effectively silence valuable voices and perspectives in our online discourse - and considerably reduce your user base. We urge Meta to consider: Conducting a thorough impact assessment of these moderation changes, specifically examining effects on marginalized communities. Consulting with LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations and safety experts before implementing further policy changes. Implementing better transparent reporting mechanisms to track and respond to increases in targeted harassment. Maintaining robust appeals processes for both removed content and missed violations Your platforms have the power to shape public discourse and influence social attitudes. With this power comes the responsibility to ensure all users can participate safely in online spaces. While content moderation involves complex tradeoffs between freedom of expression and user safety, history shows that undermoderation often disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. We look forward to hearing your response and learning about concrete steps Meta will take to protect LGBTQ+ users while maintaining open dialogue on your platforms. Best regards, Out Making Games

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up
Soccer stadium, large fabric flag of Mae Borowski from Night In The Woods, holding an axe and wearing team colors. There is text in the Night In The Woods title font on the right and left. It reads "From Stonewall a brick and Portland an Axe, Respect our pride or expect our wrath." It's cool

Are you tired of missing out on undisputed Christmas banger Last Christmas by WHAM'S proud queer icon George Michael? Still want to play a pointless musical Christmas game that removes zero bangers from your playlist? Enter... #BUBLÉVION! Together we can #Bubliterate #Whammageddon!
A picture of Michael Bublé in a Father Christmas hat with drawn on devil horns and flames, with the text BUBLÉVION overlaid. The rest of the image contains the following text: Are you tired of missing out on undisputed Christmas banger Last Christmas by WHAM'S proud queer icon George Michael? Still want to play a pointless musical Christmas game that removes zero bangers from your playlist? Enter... BUBLÉVION! The 1st Rule The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing ANY song by Christmas song monopoliser Michael Bublé. The 2nd Rule The game starts on December 1st and ends at midnight on December 24th. The 3rd Rule This is normally the part where we'd say that cover songs don't count, but name us one original song by Michael Bublé. Go on, we'll wait. The 4th Rule You're out as soon as you recognise the song. Bonus Rule Post on social media with the #bublévion hashtag when you get hit. PVP? While we can't stop you from deliberately Bubliterating your friends, the intention is this is a survival game, not a Battle Royale. And honestly, would victory really be worth enduring more Bublé?

Meme with text: "Refugees didn’t take away affordable housing. Rich landlords and greedy politicians did." The image features a cartoonish style reminiscent of vintage propaganda, with a top-hat-wearing capitalist holding a sack of money, being kicked by a Vault Boy-like character symbolizing resistance to exploitation.
