This payment processor situation will come for more than NSFW works. Tbh if smaller activist group can have this much influence too I feel indie creators should learn from them and replicate this. Group up, make mission statements, and take action. Little will change otherwise.

DO NOT STOP!! That they're hiding means they're scared and they know they are in the wrong. Don't stop calling them out for their extremist and authoritarian actions hiding behind the cudgel of religion! Keep shouting them down from the rooftops and, more importantly, contact

This is your casual reminder that anytime a conservative group targets “porn” it’s just a soft cover up so they can go after anything they deem “inappropriate”. This will ALWAYS include ANY queer content. ALWAYS. And probably others. This will always come back to harm us. Fun!

This moral panic over porn ya'll find gross is ridiculous. If you cant spot the morality gap between jacking off to fiction characters vs committing a sex crime then you're just as bad as the credit card companies rn.

Hey, remember this from back in April? Remember when you all cheered and called people who were worried over this ban 'nonces'? Ridiculed them for warning that this TERF group had bad intentions? Are you ready to acknowledge the way your actions helped lead to current events?

It's a wildly frustrating experience seeing people who are barely adults tackling the concept of fetishes & kinks and making prescriptive statements. It's like those comics telling you how to handle social relations, where it's just the author self-reporting their ineptitude. 😕

Like it or not the people banning art see furry sex as bestiality which is why it is also getting caught up in all of this. You can try to explain to an evangelical credit card company why your erotic knotting art is fine actually but lol if you think they'll listen.

IBT coverage. I think stuff like this might get MasterCard and Visa to buckle If you call, mention "I heard about this in the news"

Welcome to the weekend. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first?

I'M GONNA LOSE MY F-CKING MIND. I HATE KARENS. I HATE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN. I HATE PARENTS THAT DON'T MONITOR WHAT THEY'RE KIDS ARE DOING ON THE INTERNET. STOP RAISING IPAD KIDS YOU LAZY F-CKS AND STOP BLAMING THE INTERNET FOR YOU NOT

it took less than a week for it to go from "heh this ban will just affect your freaking GOONER games" to now having a popular horror game that tackle objectionable subject material in a serious manner being pulled from websites. genuinely fucked 👍

If payment processors dictating what you can purchase makes you angry, call them. As much as you can. Clog the lines, they’re already folding thanks to a week of concerted efforts and we can use more people calling. Follow the script in the tips section

Repost this if you’re against credit card companies & governments censoring the internet

Famous pornographic site *checks notes* ...Spotify.

Having dealt with rule changes from sites like Patreon and constant uncertainty over adult content im general we know this is just not true; passing the blame at best. You and other payment processors put pressure on these sites to moderate content, legal content.

Gelbooru This has been going on for much longer. it happened to: Patreon, 2015 Subscribestar, 2018 Gumroad, 2024 Steam & itch now + a bunch more I can't fit in a tweet. when this trend of snitching to credit card companies started Obama was still president. this is just symptom.

Bosses nowadays have so many phases...

Don't stop calling VISA and Mastercard about your complaints on censorship for gaming and anime Every call they get actually charges them money. So if they lose enough money they will be forced to make a statement. Spreading this meme for more can use it

Game over, but the game continues! Pat the Pet and Bandit the Bride have a new quest.
