When these fuckers talk about porn they also mean that sweet conversation about polyamory in your story, the cute flirting between two gay characters in your story, the mere existence of transness in your story. Your story will not be exempt. Be aware now. Be ready to push back now.

Wearily pointing at the sign once again that says you gotta defend porn because these fuckheads see every queer person as inherently pornographic and they always have and they always will. You have to defend it even if you don't personally engage with it because otherwise this happens. ⬇️
Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed"
If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous
