You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

Wild to see Steam just fall over completely due to a small-team, comparatively low-budget indie game TWICE this year.

Deltarune knocked over their whole checkout system a couple months ago.

honestly creating anything right now is an act of resistance against both incoming waves of conservative censorship and capitalist AI ventures. every bit of art makes a difference, it doesn't have to be finished it doesn't have to be perfect it just needs to exist to tip the scale back to humanity

This is why you keep at these motherfuckers with your calls. Do. Not. Stop.
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!

“She was not the only developer who reported the company singling out yuri content.”

Games journalists really dropped the ball on itchio targeting yuri content, both SFW and NSFW

The censorship of Toxic Yuri Game Jam hasn’t gotten any coverage from the games press

To echo others: that MasterCard is proactively reaching out to its advertising partners to try and blunt the impact of the pressure campaign is one of the surest signs the pressure campaign is having an effect (and after just two weeks, too!) Don't let up! Call/mail their asses!! #SaveSpeech

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

I just read an article that Mastercard is denying any involvement in the Collective Shout censorship issue. Since they were named by both Steam and Itchio, I'm taking this defensive posturing as a good sign.

KEEP CALLING MASTERCARD, VISA, PAYPAL AND STRIPE UNTIL THEY BUCKLE! No censorship!

Adult spaces are getting suffocated by these idiotic credit card companies and puritanical lobbying groups.
Who gets to define decency, and how easily do our rights disappear when money talks?

As a many many times SA and DA survivor, processing my pain through art and seeing my experience reflected back to me in others art has been central to my healing. Collective Shout are bigots using actual victims like me as a cowardly shield. Fuck them, awful people.
Collective Shout admits on Facebook that they pressured payment processors into destroying the livelihoods of game makers because their games made the group feel icky

It’s time for our own collective shout. Who are you calling?

Remember: Stress you’re a repeat caller on this issue and that you heard about this controversy on the news. With Visa, ask for a supervisor once you hit a dead end. Calls should always last longer than 30 seconds
