@galena I just hate that pedophiles are used as an excuse to crack down on things like encrypted messaging, crypto, anonymity networks, etc. It's just another scapegoat like terrorism.

I'm probably going to scrap this project and work on something simpler. The whole changing gravity mechanic became way to complex. I only got the idea because @binkle suggested a VVVVVV clone and @ItsSkyDragonz suggested a MegaMan style game. I thought I could combine both, but it just got confusing writing code for both gravitational states.
I though instead I could just make a vertically scrolling platformer, kind of like Kid Icarus, but maybe without the RPG elements.

Throughout hundreds of years of human history, there is a consistent pattern: governments disarm citizens, and then govt does evil shit. That’s not a conspiracy theory—that’s what has happened, over and over. Even if you’re not a gun owner, no one should support gun confiscation. https://t.co/ZQQ4oIYn1O

I feel like this debacle is overblown. No sane browser will adopt this. Chrome users get what they signed up for (being absolutely shat on by Google).
