The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off.

Let them know how pissed off you are.

Collective Shout put out a news post this morning trying to divert blame for starting this mess. It’s very strange. There aren’t any images or anything. Reads as if the organization is panicking and trying to get attention off them as fast as possible

www.collectiveshout.org/steam_campai...

Campaign Timeline

Male gamer notifies us via our website about discovering No Mercy on Steam. He emails back and forth with Steam but they don’t take action. March 2025

Collective Shout team reviews game content and decides to write an article and see if we can support gamer to have it removed. March 29

Cheat Sheet v.2

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

more comprehensive info can be found here:

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:
(US): +1 (8001-307-7309
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1
Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111

3. STRIPE:

(France): +33 805-11-19-67
Stripe: complaints@stripe.com

4. PAYPAL:

I have nothing to add to the discourse today that hasn't already been said more eloquently elsewhere, but if you're feelin' helpless I might suggest that this is an excellent time to toss a coin to your local smut peddler. ♥

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.
