Think its stupid that VISA and Mastercard think something as innocent as Cat Ear accessories are a bannable offense?

Then heres something you can do about it. Complain to visa and MC, call your representatives.

People keep telling me they are excited for my future releases but these laws are all moving so fast that it is possible many people will just never be able to buy them, even if they want to. This shit is fucking awful. Please, God, contact your reps.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal

so it needs to be taken seriously
#SaveSpeech
the 'STOP CSAM Act of 2025' [S.1829] is currently estimated to be 56% likely to pass according to Govtrack

This bill will undermine services offering end-to-end encryption and force internet companies to take down lawful user content

For folks looking for a plan of attack, here's what I advise:

EVERY SINGLE DAY:
MasterCard
Visa
PayPal
Stripe

Call at least 1x per day, more if you have time

IF YOU HAVE TIME:
Your bank
The ACLU, national + local branch
Your representatives

Call 1x per day

Given the new itchio update, a quick 🧵

Per an FSC report from 2023, financial discrimination against sex workers and adult business members is particularly prominent. PayPal & Stripe are the biggest offenders, however, many banks are known to shut down sex workers' accounts. For example, (1)

In matter of days, anger and a push from otg queer and trans people has put major companies on the defensive. When we fight we can win.
Update from itchio: Free NSFW content will be reindexed, Stripe points the finger at banks.

Looks like it’s time to also call our banks

call ur banks but also still call on stripe. you cannot take their statement 100% at face value when they've previously told people calling that they specifically won't support it themselves. that pressure should not go away

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling.

Don’t stop calling.

its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well!

Not someone with call center experience but some customer service experience and: I say this is very likely to be a descalation attempt. Not only because it contradicts what other reps are saying, but because you generally don't give so many unprompted details about the inner workings to a customer
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

After doing some research, I was able to find that Fifth-Third and Evolve Bank are likely the biggest players. I was able to dig up a few numbers. On top of calling Stripe at either +1-877-887-7815 (voicemail) or at +1-888-926-2289 (say you're from California, live agent), call these numbers.
