Venger mentioned Drivethru was out for the weekend so I have to wonder if anyone has mapped the timing of the complaints? Complain Friday and you could take a product down for 4 days.
I asked DriveThru for an update this morning. I was reminded that it could take up to "two business weeks" for their internal review. So, maybe next week?
Would it be worth a few of us contacting Drivethru as well?
If it's in a respectful manner, it might. I'd probably ask them to confirm that real world harm, such as murder, is worse than imaginary harm in a fantasy world. So, pro-abortion RPG products are objectively more offensive and destructive than an adventure like The Good Syma'arian which uses a fantasy world context to call out the real world harm happening in abortion clinics across the country.
If people are too squeamish to hear about children being sacrificed by demons, then how can they support abortion... unless they simply pretend that what's happening isn't actually happening?
Your last question there might be a bit specious, though (also, disingenuous, and suggests a lack of engagement with the real issue if you think your analogy applies in reality). And given your prior lines of products, I find your stance on this, well, kind of shocking....who knew!
Either way, I'm in the camp you have the right to publish this, absolutely. But I am also in favor of private businesses stating they have a standard on what they choose to publish. The problem DTRPG faces as I see it is not enforcing that standard consistently and up front. If they did, people could then decide whether or not they want to shop with them based on their clear policies on the matter. Right now their policy appears to be, "look the other way until someone complains and then panic."
