TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible.

The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Another Visa rep I spoke with did say there were a lot of calls about the video game policy but they were decreasing. Unclear if this is a deescalation tactic but I do encourage you to keep the pressure on

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

CALL THEM

***Important Notice*** If you are calling Visa, there have been increasing reports of harassment from Visa representatives, including calling people rapists If this happens to you, please take the following actions: 1) Stay calm! Do NOT engage in harassment back 2) Request to speak to a supervisor 3) If they refuse or hung up on you, call back and *immediately* escalate to a supervisor 4) Put in a complaint of the behavior (script below) 5) Afterwards *or* if they refuse to take your complaint, submit a BBB complaint (script below) Call Center Abuse Complaint: Hello, I'm calling to submit an official complaint about abuse I received from a call center representative today. I called at (time) and spoke with (name, if you know it). Their behavior was beyond inappropriate. The representative said (provide details). Once finished submitting that complaint, tell them you would still like to file the initial complaint you called about. BBB script: I'm filing a complaint in regards to their conduct when I called in to inquire about the situation between them and several gaming platforms. Upon mentioning the nature of my call the representative on the phone was exceptionally rude to me. They (insert details here). This sort of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. This should not be how they treat their customers. BBB script pt 2 (what you're looking for them to do in response): I would like a formal apology, my initial complaint to be processed, and the company to re-train their call center staff to prevent such occurrences in the future.

I feel like the biggest issue I face as an artist is my crippling social anxiety and perfectionism around my drawings making me dread finally posting something..
