so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff

reminder that you don't need to know specifics of what's at play. It's often better to sound like a normie

Today's reminder to keep the pressure on! They're hoping we'll shut up, get tired or bored, and just walk away.

If we keep trashing their operational metrics, they'll fold first.
Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Stripe. Don’t forget to complete your dailies!!

They're trying to shift the blame; refuse to address the karens in the room.

Either the companies are lying about being influenced by CS or CS is bullshitting about their influence on the companies.

Regardless, I can smell fear.
Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

You hear that guys? All lawful purchases are allowed! We're just not allowing the ILLEGAL stuff like...dark romance V-Novels?

This ain't adding up. These companies are playing damage control now.

Don't Stop Calling! More official statements only brings up more questions!

If you're a member of a creator's Patreon or a creator yourself, let's email Patreon and ask them if they'll explore processor options beyond PayPal and Stripe. We want to restore our creative freedom.
Paypal and Stripe hit Patreon with strict nsfw regulations a few years ago. It's the same thing that's happening with Steam and itch and if itch can seek new processors that are more nsfw-friendly, I think Patreon should too to support its creators

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.

The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Also, PORN IS WORTH DEFENDING. It doesn't have to be a fight for what they most assuredly are coming for next!
It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast
*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"

Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

Good morning my lovelies! Another friendly reminder to make phone calls and write physical letters to Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Paypal, etc!

Don't let up! Let these these companies know (politely) exactly how you feel about controlling and restricting the legal adult media you can buy online!
