Seconded. We exist because of and for freaks and perverts!
Freaks keep our creative communities alive. Call, email, scream at the wind, do whatever you need to do to resist corporate censorship.

when we talk about many wor(l)ds, that includes & prioritizes the worlds of sex workers, erotica writers/artists, and perverts of all stripes.
Here's a good additional resource of contact details for various payment processors:
