Someone I know has recently started up a blog of their experiences as a UK police constable.
It's interesting to here their side of the job, if a little harrowing at times. Their first post, on encountering death as part of the job, is particularly heavy.
( , Sat 27 Jun 2020, 16:37, Reply)

I think that started as a blog too. Major takeaway was that most police work was domestic disputes, where they wanted their partners taken away but not charged. The rest seemed to be doing the paperwork for the former.

I was in a ward at a hospital picking up a family member with a broken leg, there was a violent guy there, clearly on his way to being sectioned, with two police officers to restrain him. I saw them at work for at least a couple of hours and they were nothing but compassionate, even with this guy spitting at them, stamping their feet, kicking them, and calling them all kinds of cunts. I could not have maintained that level of patience and restraint.

( , Sat 27 Jun 2020, 20:04, Reply)

The guy was at times posing quite a risk to patients and staff in the ward (he kicked a doctor and knocked over a disabled girl and scared a load of people away), I'd have at least wanted him on the ground to cuff him, and by that point I wouldn't have minded using a bit of violence to get him there.
But these two young police officers were great, they kept him on his feet to cuff him (which took a long time with him fighting back) and afterwards sat him in a comfy chair before loosening the cuffs.

I am astonished that Steam have not removed the game yet, but that is not a reason to deny the facts.

a) He posted a video about a steam game in Sept 2019. "Phucker in the Woods" [1]

c) I asked him politely to remove it.
d) He banned me from his chat.
e) I asked Steam to remove the game. So far, they haven't.[3]

a) yep.
b) Did you get that vibe from my video? Or did you go seeking it? I honestly didn't get it from my playthrough or it wouldn't have been posted.
c) You weren't particularly polite, and you started harassing other users in the Discord via private message.
d) See above. Another moderator timed you out for spamming him. Then banned you when you came back and started harrassing users.
e) OK.
f) OK.
g) Me too.
However, what I'm taking from this is a screenshot and your personal reading of it. You're offended, and that's OK.
My reading of it? It's a game which is poking fun at the visual novel style of game, which I tend to avoid in general because they CAN go incredibly close to the wire and there's a history of Japanese made games switching up ages as they translate to English. The "joke" that you posted is incredibly overt (and they need a better writer) but that's it. It's words which you are finding offensive.
There's no "aim to rape" or "minigame to have sex". If there was, you'd have found it. It's a throwaway line - and as I interpret it, intended to be a crass joke for those who know the genre.
It's a shit joke, and perhaps I wouldn't have posted the video if I'd gotten to that part. But I didn't. And the game remains on Steam and other platforms, so I'm assuming - rightly or wrongly - that the game is fine. I'm not going to play it any more, or watch any videos... because I've already wasted far too much time talking about it.

that is free on steam, that a lot of other people have played considerably further.
Later on that screen cap takes place, at a point in the game that Dogbomb didn’t play, so isn’t in his video. Apparently this game and all content is Dogbomb’s responsibility? ( See also my comments about what the game is parodying, this week and last week, if you want to be really really bored, I’m not arguing with Sockcooker any more, it’s utterly pointless)
Whereas DB definitely has played plenty of games where he shoots a lot of people (usually accompanied by “knacked him!”) and one where he hoyed a load of shite out of the shower, which was one of the funniest I’ve seen for a while at the time.
I like Dogbomb’s videos, I think Sockcooker is being an idiot.

Let me try to afford you more clarity:

3 - Is the free game you played for 15 minutes the "Phucker" game?
4 - Is it a paedophile simulator and did you know that before and/or after you played it?
5 - Did you knowingly publish a video of you playing a paedophile simulator?
I'm not accusing, just asking because I genuinely want to know. Cheers.

1. I'm not. It's a collective. I'm probably the most active.
2. Yep. It comes from Halo 2 on xbox games, where we would shout it at other "clans" because we were kids, it was funny, and generally americans had no idea that it was offensive. It became a term of endearment.
3. For this particular instance, yes. I do them every week however, a mix of free and paid indiegame reviews. I tend to do first plays, and record my first impressions of a game. I often do it whilst tipsy.
4. I don't believe it is. The description of the game didn't lead me to think it was, and the 15 minutes I played didn't lead me to think it was.
5. No. And never would.

I'm open to the idea that the game is not actually about raping children but includes themes of sexual violence - in the same way that GTA5 is not a sexual assault simulator but involves a character who is a violent sex offender.
I ran a search for reviews of the game and only found a page of various sites and videos with the same promotional spiel, the YBN video, and b3ta arguments. I can't easily tell if it is what you say it is, and I don't really want to watch a video review if what you say is true.
You can't both be right and dogbomb seems to have responded to my questions reasonably, so from my perspective the onus is on you to prove that dogbomb, youtube and Steam are all wrong.

You have been told, the video above is NOT one created by Dogbomb, so why do you hold him responsible for it? I’ve just looked, there are many, many videos of this game, all going “this game is really weird”
As I said before - The content of the game is a parody of genuinely pornographic games that come from Japan, (please look up Eroge on Wikipedia) hence the character names, those games are 18 certificate and have sexual graphics, this game presumably does not, since there are so many videos on YouTube, but does parody the content of those games, so you are objecting to words.
Also, you are objecting to a game because it has an illegal act on virtual characters implied, are you going to object to all games where there is violence and murder?

"why do you hold him responsible for it?"

Fortunately, society is now moving away from those bad times.
I think you've figured out it's not OK to call black people niggers.
You've probably figured it's not OK to call gay people fags.
Now, can you work our why it's not OK to call peeople retards?

Probably because those kids had not levelled up to racism yet.
In any case, it never harmed me because I'm only on the Gallic spectrum.
But if I was on the easy to offend spectrum, at least 10% of the words in the English dictionary
can be used to denigrate Frogs directly of by unsubtle metaphors, so I should advocate for their removal.
Pretty silly position, even for a cheese fucker.
I advocate the use of intelligence, and seeing out small numbers here, that is a manageable option:
If a fat 45 year old retard calls a obese 43 year old retard a "retard"... From the sanctity of their respective mums basement.
Even a real educationally challenged person would think "retards" and get a chuckle.
But if educationally challenged person comes and posts their cobbled together reviews of chips packets,
calling that person names such as "retard" is obnoxious, unfunny and hurtful to that educationally challenged person.
So don't call him "retard" duh.
And as an aside, there are far better insults such as "cock wobble", "Vegemite lover" etc.
So boys and grown men; be smart.

Some elements of humour are based on the 'wrongness' of the concept/delivery.
Actual use depends on who is using them, the audience and why they are used.

And just saying "crumpet" probably is deeply
insulting to someone, somewhere, who is both
gluten intolerant, of the finer sex and hot.
So not to be found on this board.
Banning speech instead of promoting education is
a very slippery slope to Newspeak (this is not
meant to be an insult to slick criminals and
Asians)

Why does their weight affect this?
If a person calls another person a retard, it is not OK. It is hate speech. It is illegal in the UK.
I think by "so boys" you meant "soy boys", which is racist.
Cock wobbler is fine. I think you are a twat, not a nigger. There is a massive difference.

Weight in this context is not of the disability
kind, but obviously the sort that is gained by
eating too many Cheetos while choosing to remain
in mums basement while not getting any exercise
nor fresh air.
On a forum, we should all refrain from calling
random people specific and targeted to be
hurtful names. Andnif someone slips up, they
should be called to order, then they must edit their post.
If they do not, warn/ban em'. If they come back,
report em'.
I think we agree on certain specific name
calling, but not on how to treat it. I deeply distrust censure, and advocate for the slow
process of education:
If you ban someone from using the word "retard" that name calling idiots remains unconvinced
that it is a bad thing. And if all communication
is cut with an auto-ban (sorry to our German friends) then there is no possible learning moment.
Educating that person out of that position is
hard work, but can only be done by the slow
process of teaching - or the law if it gets out
of hand.
I don´t want the word "retard" to be banned
because if a very educationally challenged
person should chose to call me that, it would
not be hate speech, be funny and even weirdly
a bit honorific.

Sure, banning specific words does not help much; I might want to explain about retarding my carburettor, or the tasty faggots I had for breakfast.
Worse if I live in Scunthorpe.
I'm not asking for words to be banned.
I'm asking for zero tolerance for hate-speech.

"Retard" can be an excellent verb but is always a shitty noun.
Transgressive art and humour must have a place somewhere and I expect a lot of the people using terms like retard, spaz, and other bigoted words and phrases, think it's edgy transgressive and ironic. I'd even go so far as to accept that sometimes it genuinely is.
It can be hard to tell the difference between real bigots and those behaving like bigots for the sake of their art/work/performance/whatever. I lean towards the idea that bigots reveal themselves in their acts of bigotry - their use or permissiveness of bigoted language for example.

Being callaed a "Retard" really sucks for any disabled child, growing up.
It's akin to a child with questions about their sexality constandly hearing "gay" used as a pejoritive in internet chats...like game rooms... "that was SO gay LOL". Imagine the cumulative effect. Gay="bad".
Like being called "nigger" because your skin is a different colour, or "faggot" for kids with geender issues.
It's hate speech. "We"- b3ta - should have zero tolerace for it.

Banning stuff and people instead of educating
is the American Way and in my opinion,
unproductive.
We should still make stupid comments but stay off the the obviously hurtful.

And "hate speech" should be banned.
For example, promoting the idea of euthanising a group of people, such as a subset of handicap,
is criminal. Simple. Open close case.
Calling someone "retard" in the wrong context is stupid, and that people should be told why, and they should change their wording. If they chose not to, then it moves to banning/legal shit.
But the word "retard" should not be banned because it also a technical term for setting spark plugs (and other things) and if a trisomic person should chose to call me that, I would be honoured.
You can broaden our disagreement to other
offensive material, but where do we stop?
Lets argue about something specific, because
if we do not, it is Turtles all the way down.

We should probably stop using terms for female genitalia in a pejorative context, as it suggests the female reproductive system is abhorrent. But in that case, we should probably ban 'Cock'/'Dick'/'Nob', too. It wouldn't be right to suggest that the male reproductive system is somehow less worthy in that regard.
Perhaps we should just pre-emptively ban all nouns, just incase somebody weaponises the few innocuous examples we have left.

I assume so she can then post it on her social media outlet of choice where it can garner loads of likes and shares.
Why do we need to see her face? Why do we need a video at all? Can't she just record an audio clip? Couldn't she have waited until she got home, or parked the car somewhere first? I'm not sure why her face is at all relevant, really.
Even if we ignore the fact she's driving down the road at the time, it's pretty fucking self-obsessed. The driving part only serves to make it more so. You velcro-shoed pillock.

"Deep South".
A high percentage of racists and people who believe in invisible magic men in the sky. [Refs on request, eh...]
A friend of mine, of Jamaican origins, went there in 1996 when her daugher was in the olympics, and suffered truly appalling racist abuse. OK, that's anecdotal, but I have no reason to disblieve her.
The problem is endemic in the USA, especially the bottom bits.
There are problems in the UK too, but it's not so bad. We have a few "bad cops" but they are increasingly rare; the vast majority of them are great. We've moved on from Gene Hunt ("Life on Mars", set in 1973).
In England, now, a "fine upstanding" young black friend with a nice car gets stopped by cops a disproportinate number of times. Admittedly, he's driving in the wee small hours 'coz he works as a bouncer, but still disproportionate compared to colleagues. He's not too bothered about it, but it still sucks ass.
I'm trying to say... regarding racism, the UK is not perfect; far from it; but WAY better than the US.
The stuff we're seeing in the USA is abhorrent, and action is required. No, not burning down stuff; changing stuff.
UK needs to change too. Stop tolerating hate speech and racism.
