Collective Shout

Collective Shout is an Australian activist group founded in 2009 by Melinda Tankard Reist. It describes itself as "a grassroots movement against the objectification of women and sexualisation of girls in media, advertising and popular culture." Various news and advocacy organizations have described its agenda as anti-porn.

Collective Shout have protested the Australian release of films, books, and music they claim sexualize women, as well as sales of child sex dolls. The group rose to prominence in 2025 after lobbying for the digital distribution platforms Steam and Itch.io to remove hundreds of video games that they said featured themes such as rape, incest, and sexual violence, which resulted in Itch.io temporarily deindexing all not-safe-for-work adult games. Collective Shout's campaigning against violent adult games, in collaboration with payment processors, has raised concerns about financial censorship, effects on LGBTQ+ games, and creative freedom.
