KEEP THE CALLS UP
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!!

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.
Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

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!

↻💬♡ to boost

We CAN make a difference 💕

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

the trouble with policing what kind of filth you personally don't mind being affected by these new censors is that you cannot open the door a crack to only shoo out the things you find disagreeable. once it's in, it's in.

this is infantilizing dogshit intended to expand indefinitely. yeah, actually, adults are allowed to think and talk about rape or pedophilia or bestiality because those things exist in the world, the domain of adults. this is the work of finance monopolies deciding you're a child to be shepherded.
itch has quietly updated the creator FAQ with new adult content guidelines

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out
Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

I'm so tired dog, I've seen this so many times now. You're all new to this apparently. Sex workers deal with this constantly, listen to them when they say the only way to stop this is flood visa and MasterCard with complaints about restricting how we want to spend our money.

The pendulum ALWAYS swings back. Always. Outlast the fuckers.
it can be in a week, months, or a decade or two when this entire system finally falls. but it will fall. it always does. and saying it wont denies the mountains of evidence that is our human history. and we'll be there to pick up the pieces and build a better tomorrow together ♥️🖤

It really shows you how powerful the payment processers are given how fast Valve folded like a wet paper bag. They don't usually tolerate anyone telling them what to do, and will go to court, drag out any process just to not be told what to do.

The South Park guys are big ol' transphobes who were just a few seasons ago whining about 'diversity' and spent several seasons bitching and moaning about 'Political Correctness' like it was the friggin' 90s.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to them.
