Chord Progressions is RE-listed! (+ Updates)
Hey, Chordies! We're back on itch! A decision was made to allow NSFW content to be re-indexed on the site, but only if the game is listed as totally free. Normally, ChoPro is listed as

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

I've updated my devlog addressing the ongoing de-listing issue with itch.

TLDR: The best way we can get the outcome we're looking for is putting pressure on the payment processors themselves. yellat.money is a good resource to help you get started.

@itch.io Hey, there was more than one month, over the last year, when books sales over your platform were the difference between my family being housed and unhoused.

Books you've just shadowbanned.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

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.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

SO YEAH. @itch.io has just enacted a massive search shadowban on adult content. I tagged my old game "Who will you save? / Who will you serve?" as "adult" and immediately got removed from search results.
a screenshot from itch.io showing the game "who will you save, who will you serve" as the top result for the search "who will you save" a screenshot from itch.io showing the top result for the search "who will you save" which does not include the game "who will you save? who will you serve?"

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. There is also a third fox, who is red. Blue and Green are standing side-by-side, as Red, Blue's mother, is facing them. Red: Would you like some homemade applesauce? Fresh nettles? A whole smoked fish? Blue: No th- Green, interrupting: Yes please. The foxes are in the same positions, but Green is now surrounded by a jar of applesauce, a packet of smoked fish, and a bag of nettle leaves. Red: How about some honey? Mushrooms? Bilberry jam? A loaf of bread? Green: Yes, yes, and yes! The offered homemade treats and gifts continue accumulating around Green. Red: Birch sap? Seed potatoes? Parsley? Some gourds from the garden? Green: Yes, thank you! As they're left by themselves, Blue turns to address Green, who is currently in the process of swallowing an entire pumpkin whole, unhingeing his jaw like a snake. Blue: Accepting everything mom gives feels like freeloading and I feel bad about it. Green: I don't.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting beside each other, focused on their own hobbies. Blue is on his computer with headphones on, while Green is reading a book. Both foxes are startled, jumping into the air as something smashes through the ceiling and into the floor with significant force. Both foxes turn around to look at the smoking crater that has now formed onto the floor. In the middle of it is a perfectly round, off-white ball. Blue: Is that a...? Green: ...Yeah. A golf ball. Equally baffled, the foxes turn to look at each other. Blue: We'll never get an explanation to this, will we? Green: Probably not.
