I hope it's interesting. in some way

Corporations are relying on shame to stop folks from fighting to keep porn around. An amazing way to fight against this stuff is to simply not be ashamed of sex and sexuality; even if you think some of it is "cringe". You'll do yourself a favor by eliminating your shame about sex.
When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

If you, like me, want to watch payment processors suffer AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE? Call from the day before Black Friday to like the day before Christmas at minimum.

I know it's hard to have a perpetual campaign, so think of it as just this month for now.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

"Jobs don't exist anymore" is a phrase I've repeated to myself a lot. No idea what the hell most of you do all day but if someone is paying you to do it, hold on for dear life, because if it goes away it feels like it's probably not coming back. Either that or I'm just particularly unemployable.
“Stella why do you put up with x or y” what would you like me to do man. I was unemployed for 18 of the last 36 months. Jobs don’t exist anymore. We take what we can get now, warts and all.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff

reminder that you don't need to know specifics of what's at play. It's often better to sound like a normie

It's genuinely awful, I keep seeing the same thing happen with manga and every time their argument is "would you rather it not be translated ?" and honestly YEAH ? I'd rather not have it at all since because of your half-assed garbage the odds of some competent team picking it up plummet !

the unofficial light novel translation space is way too dominated by amateur JP half-knowers who think a proofread machine translation is good enough

I mean those people are around in other translation spaces too but. there's just way too many of them there particularly

so anyway if you decide to fill out this survey yourself you can if you like copy what I put in there or you can put in something else if you think something else is cooler

so the manga adaptation of iruma's student teacher story is being scanlated... or at least, has begun to be,

so I'm just looking at it

I do still wish the novels had a proper translation, but on the plus side the manga gives us a lot of Rin's extremely good face,

in 1989 Hideaki Anno apparently thought that in the future the soviet union would still exist and that girls would have homoerotically charged baths in space. he was wrong about only one of those things
