they'll come for your gacha milfs too
less than a week ago, payment processors like Visa and MasterCard got a bunch of e-mails from some bougie white women from australia ("Collective Shout") who probably think tv shows like breaking bad encourage and glorify bad things. wouldn't ya believe it, these decrepit hags' understanding of videogames is even more hampered. they think that Detroit : Become Human is a game that encourages violence against women and child abuse because two scenes in that game depict it. that GTA V is a sandbox to do violence exclusively towards women because you have the ability to shoot any NPC in the game. basically, they need giant red text saying "THIS IS A BAD GUY" whenever walter white is on screen.
unfortunately, these wicked witches yelled enough at Visa and MasterCard to get them to strongarm Valve and itch dot io to purge en masse NSFW games on their storefronts. as a result, LGBTQ+ games and some games depicting nudity or sensitive topics with artistic intent are being purged as well. livelihoods riding on these games being on these storefronts are at risk, and this sets a dangerous precedent that anything depicting any sort of sexuality would be at risk of being banned from sale. games with complex writing made by authors exploring traumatic experiences and sensitive topics? banned. addictive gacha games full of milfs with massive breasts? banned. and, basically, the death of these kinds of games, because why spend years of your life working on a game that'll probably not even show up on the storefront for a single minute?
payment processors think they have the power to dictate what is law and are telling platforms what you can or can't buy with your cash. let's go tell them to sit the hell down.
i made a website compiling a bunch of resources anyone can use to fight against this preposterous decision against payment processors. if you want to help the internet preserve its artistic freedom, you should absolutely check out the link and do one of the options. strength is in numbers, and the more people get behind our cause the more we can tell these puritanical right wing freaks to mind their business and play parcheesi or some shit.

P.S.
unrelated to the topic, but i'll be updating cereza.zone in august. i've been rewriting a lot of the website, mostly to make it easier for me to add more gimmicks, so it'll be a small update.
