"Humans must learn climate to survive";
"it doesn't matter if the mailed fist is brandished openly or hidden in law";
"is your religion real when it costs you nothing, when you fatten upon it, when you commit atrocities in its name?" (paraphrased), are the most striking to me

art and stories should be personal to the creator's experiences. sexuality should not be subdued. interests should not be tailored to people other than yourself. make what you want to make. the furry panopticon aren't paying your bills. twitter teens aren't paying your bills.

the puritanical attitude from younger people in the fandom/in general is extremely disheartening. it's not just whiplash from how hypersexual teen culture was in the 2000s, it's a profound gap in understanding and experiences. i implore everyone who has an issue with what i'm saying to go outside.

Also to note… VISA is an accredited Better Business Bureau company.
From firsthand experience, companies do take those complaints relatively seriously.
May as well add another Avenue of complaints, even if BBB is just Boomer Yelp

And to be clear, this isn't (just) about access to smut - the literal stated targets here are marginalized queer folk. That's the play. And everyone in positions of power - from itch and Valve to Zombie Waypoint - are folding because bigots are fucking with the money.

The fact that right now I can take my Visa card and buy something from Barely Legal Boobies Dot Com or whatever, but I can't take that same Visa card and buy an erotic visual novel on itch because Visa themselves told the platform to censor adult content is just outrageous, and they need to be told.
