Putting aside how the UK government usually responds to these petitions by simply saying 'no', seeing this hit a million signatures in like a day kinda shows how much people REALLY do not want this.
So yeah, keep signing it. Let's see how high this can go!

I'm late to this one because I specifically wanted to avoid the ~internet drama~ surrounding it, but I asked 20 game devs what they thought about Stop Killing Games. Some of these answers were genuinely fascinating - huge thanks to all the devs who helped out!

As a low profile 20+ year dev, I feel this is an excellent summary of developer's perspective on "Stop Killing Games".
TLDR: "This initiative is an important conversation that needs to be had. But it complicated..."

all I will say about the discourse today is food provides a really great way to talk about nuanced things and a really great metaphor for how to navigate their complexity, especially if you have an open heart and good intent because most of us fucken love food, no matter how misanthropic we may be

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Marvel wasn't seeing a dime from me outside of Ultimates, and it seems that will continue to be the case. "I know this is dangerous, but look how quirky this is 🤪" is a piss poor take from one of your lead editors and shows zero commitment to defend the artists you're working with. Shame and ugly.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Please sign!!! Credit card companies should not be policing content. The effect is the criminalization of LGBTQ+ voices.
Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I mean this in the most earnest way possible. If your points of reference for storytelling all come from cartoons I BEG you to read more books. There’s so much more variety out there, so much that hasn’t been distilled through 80 different hands & a single corporation’s S+P department.

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

This link is an excellent resource for all the ways we can contact payment providers to complain about the removal of queer and adult games, comics, books and media from all our platforms. Tell these companies to stop censoring queer and adult content. It makes no sense! Enough is enough!
credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

On the one hand, you almost have to admire Trump's cleverness, finding a reward that doesn't involve a pardon (yet).
On every other hand, this is a perversion of justice of the highest order -- corruption, as with everything with this administration -- hiding in plain sight. With zero opposition.

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.”
Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign
But we can EASILY top 1,000!
I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!
