The economy currently is a massive prisoner's dilemma, with every CEO gambling on someone -else- paying people enough to be able to afford their products.
Not only that but they are trying to replace entry level and basic jobs with AI and somehow they didn’t think that would have an impact of the economy? Who the hell is going to buy your goods if you take out all that spending?
I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

Right now those in power are telling you straight to your face that "if a piece of shit racist white man is harmed by gun violence it's a problem and you should feel sympathy. If anyone else is harmed (kids included), that's life". I do hope this radicalizes people. I hope this wakes people up.

If youre aghast at how even the adult website paypros ban things as benign as "cat ears", this is what we mean when we say that puritan policies DO NOT care to stop at just the "nasty" stuff
When they say they target "beastiality", they mean up to and including an actual human being wearing catears

A lot of these are standard, but blood and gore? Degradation??? CAT EARS?????? Okay so all horror related content, all content that could be seen as slightly objectionable or perturbing and like ALL fantasy related material is straight up not allowed. #censorship
Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

I like how you, as a NSFW creator, need to seek permission - but doing so obviously puts you on their radar and risks getting shit-canned just for trying to be "legit" about it
Just spoke with @discord12395.bsky.social , who had a conversation with an "executive customer focus team member" at PayPal after filing a BBB complaint regarding his customer service case number being non-existent. Insight follows into where PayPal stands on adult content:

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us
Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

It might be good to include these talking points when you call Visa/Mastercard.
"So you support Roblox, a website/app known to endanger children, but you refuse to support legal adult content? What kind of message are you sending to customers?"

Mastercard, Visa and Paypal can excuse an unsafe website like Roblox, which is aimed at children and is suing people who collaborate with authorities to arrest predators but they draw the line when Steam doesn't want to remove adult games that don't pretend to glorify some topics

Stripe apparently also cited their partnering banks when explaining to itch what their position was, so feels prudent to figure this out because it's possible they're connected!
Big. Valve just stated “one of PayPal’s acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions” due to content “related to what we’ve previously commented on surrounding Mastercard”

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.
