It doesn’t matter if you don’t directly engage with nsfw work, letting a few large companies control what art is censored is bad for *all* of us. (And let’s be real, they’re coming after all queer work as well even if it contains nothing nsfw.)

IF you decide to contact these companies, be it phone, email, or whatever, be polite and friendly. The customer service people are not responsible for their business' policies, and they deal with enough shit as is.
