sent an email to support@itch.io, strongly suggest other writers, artists, game devs, etc. who give a shit do similarly
Email to support@itch.io, subject line "De-indexing of NSFW and adult work." Email content is too long for alt text, so slightly edited for character limit: Given recent rumours of the delisting and deindexing of adult work across all of itch.io, I wish to ask if these rumours are true (and a binary yes/no answer would be preferred to the question 'Is concealing NSFW and adult work from search and indexes now a policy of itch.io?') and voice my strong opposition to this for a multitude of reasons if it is. 1) "Adult" and "NSFW" are often used to discuss queerness, as queerness almost inherently brushes against topics of sexuality, bodies, and human desire. There are ways to create content about queerness which ARE 'safe for work,' however-- 2) There are ongoing campaigns to cast all forms of queer life as sexualized and perverse, not fit for consumption by decent people, and so on. Itch.io risks legitimizing these attitudes by suddenly deplatforming immense amounts of queer art, and thus 3) the de-indexing of adult work will inevitably disproportionately impact already precarious queer artists and writers and game-developers who have trusted itch.io and promoted it as a safe, accepting, place for art that the mainstream may reject. This is a betrayal of thousands of members of your artistic community who have put faith in your website and organization that will inevitably crater the reputation and user base of itch.io. If this is not the new policy, then I hope whatever technical error occured is resolved. If this is the new policy, I hope you will backtrack. If you will not backtrack, then I will be joining the exodus of writers, artists, game devs, and other creatives who once trusted you as we search for a place where queer art may be, for a time, safe.

When you despair and let apathy win you give your power to those who wish you would just remain quiet and those that wish you would disappear. Speak up and be heard.

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

this is the least aware this country will ever be about how bad we just got fucked over. let's make the past 72 hours the golden days they dream of in the months ahead.

They expect the calls will fall off. That we will move on. That what they’ve done will get buried in a few news cycles. We need them to know how wrong they are. We need to tell them that we will remember.

This is going to be devastating, and just like the run up to this chosen catastrophe, there won’t be enough attention on the people we will lose. Listen for them.

The most important thing we can do is remember.
