Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

Keep calling. This issue can't die.
It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo.
The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

Oh, hey.
Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".
Let that sink in.
Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

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.

If we can get big dog publishing companies to go knocking at paypros' doors then that would be a huge boon for us. Flood the publishers as concerned customers, get them to see what's happening!
Harlequin Publishing's number:
416-445-5860
I left a voicemail with the first option and went down the list until someone picked up. Legal suggested I email her and she would forward it to finance. We should call publishers.

Guys this is direly important. Do not let them privatize your tax filings. The companies that own the other programs are just stealing money from you to do what you can already do for free. Survey takes less than 2 minutes to do and can possibly help keep the tax filing program free. Fuck TurboTax.
The IRS wants Americans to weigh in on Direct File, the agency's free tax filing program.
We already know Direct File has been widely popular and successful.
The program could save Americans billions annually between filing fees and time costs.

So I hope everyone has been keeping an eye on the UK's censorship bill (under the guise of "Protect the children," a classic) and I also hope everyone has been keeping an eye on the two bills the US has introduced that basically do the same thing as the UK one.

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

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.
