I'm sorry but given current circumstances if I see anybody start petty squabbles over what kinks are okay I'm beating them with a stick

You gotta keep talking about the issue! Paypros havent reversed their policies on Itch or Steam yet! Keep talking about it, keep contacting influencers, news outlets and legislators about the issue! Keep it in the public consciousness!

Alright folks, its the work week again! Call your reps and demand they oppose these bills! Additionally, try to mention the ongoing paypro situation and express how its wrong that big corpos get to decide what kind of speech is truly free or not!

hey if youre sick of seeing all this shit about Payment processors and censorship ID laws etc trust me, us folks talking about it are sick of having to post about it too. we wanna be posting about anything else right now but we are collectively at a point of no return we HAVE to fight this. NOW.

Not shocked at all. A reminder that everything is political; if you think that politics won't affect you, think again.

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

also hey remember: Emails may not be effective against paypros but here's confirmation they ARE against legislators! so any wall flowers out there whose nerves are burnt out from making phone calls, sending physical/digital mail is a great option! EVERYONE has the capacity to do SOMETHING

do with this as you will, or make your own version uwu

Yes, things are bad. But a pushback like this is seldom seen before, its genuinely very impressive. We must keep calling paypros, calling reps and demanding them to strike down awful bills, responding to Bsky's guideline changes...we have a chance.

this is strong evidence that the ACLU and EFF are gearing up to tackle payment processors. keep up the pressure! there is no one single silver bullet, getting our Ws requires pressure from all fronts! We can do this!

do with this as you will, or make your own version uwu

#SaveSpeech #CPBC As we near closer to 4 weeks of sustained pressure, I made this infographic to help focus our targets and to suggest a daily goal that is feasible for most people more info and phone numbers here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money find reps www.congress.gov/members/find...

Ok EU folks? You gotta do your own version of contacting your reps, or whatever equivalent, and yelling at them about this

SPEAK UP!!! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRICKIN SOCIAL TO NUKE NSFW CONTENT ONCE THEY GOT ENOUGH USERS! CENSORSHIP ALWAYS LEAD TO BANNING QUEER, BPOC, DISABLED PPL IMPORTANT CONTENT NEXT!

"what were Jessie's exact words" is a totally reasonable good-faith question and I guess I should have clarified that I was not paraphrasing "wish ill" was literally the wording! they have added "wishing harm upon a person or group" to their list but like . . . context matters . . .

the only way i can see this going eventually

The fog of war is lifting What we are learning is that these two parties are responsible for all of the censorship going on. Banks working with PayPal / Stripe, and card networks like MasterCard

Need a script? Again: yellat.money has your back!!!

Adult games have *never* received so much mainstream press before, and it's reaching many players for the first time. We can come out of this healthier than ever, but we gotta work for it. Do your dailies!

feeling the nooze tightening in the latest community guidelines

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW. Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded And KEEP CALLING

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

stripe has offices in San Fransisco, Chicago, Staten Island, Seattle, and D.C. , (you can find them all here headquartersoffice.com/stripe/ ) so if you live in any of these areas and want to let them know how you feel please show them how bad they fucked up

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

#SaveSpeech Updated list of major US bills ya'll need to yell at your congressmen about, w/ talking points. Tell em to say NO to: SCREEN ACT KOSA IODA www.congress.gov/members/find... CALL EM. MAIL EM. EMAIL EM. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.

AND REMEMBER BILL S-209 IN CANADA. @jmivilledechene.bsky.social is responsible for the latest incarnation of this mess, and her office should hear what we as citizens of this fine nation think! [613-943-4780] Be polite, but firm. ^_^ Look at sencanada.ca for your senators' contacts, and call MPs. :}

It would also open the door to criminalize trans people, and queer people more generally, by way of our very existence in any form of public life being deemed "obscene". They already say this and have already said that is their ultimate goal, out loud. This ends in genocide.

“This bill won’t pass” “This won’t affect me outside the U.S.” This is ignorant. These things trickle down. Go educate yourself on censorship. SESTA/FOSTA. KOSA. Age verification in US/UK/Australia. Tumblr bans. Backpage. Visa/Mastercard. ITCHIO. Patreon. This isn’t the first canary…

This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. Period. Full stop. No more porn legally. If you post porn whether free pics or paid vids. this affects you!

CAN CONFIRM. Riot's mods are immediately nuking any mention of mastercard, and giving lengthy chat timeouts for otherwise innocuous comments. unsure how effective comments will be w/o absolutely massive numbers, but its EXTREMELY telling that mastercard feels they have to resort to this.

you know what would be really funny? if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

It was only a matter of time, but Canada has joined the censorship bandwagon with Bill S-209. Sign the petition, call your MPs, raise hell. www.change.org/p/stop-bill-...

Do not stop. If you stop at the acknowledgement and celebrate now, it will die where it stands. Keep calling, keep writing.

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!

Also you should hit up: bsky.app/profile/etha...

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! stop-paypros.neocities.org

DOUBLE. THE FUCK. DOWN! We need to keep the pressure up on Stripe, Paypal, Visa, and MasterCard friends.

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

As a Canadian I used this article as the reason I was calling yesterday. “Hi I was hoping you could help me figure out what’s going on? You see I just read this article…”

Let's Keep Calling!

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

LRPs: I helped write the Co-op's call and email script! Keep kicking ass any which way you can, y'all. i know "buuuhhh emails aren't as good as phone calls" but they still help. AND now you can shoot off 20 at once with one click, a technique we pinched from Collective Shout! YYYYOINK

Pretty sure Visa is recording phone numbers now, I have called them several times now. Last few times as soon as they pick up I get "we have already provided you with all the relevant information, we will now be disconnecting the call" and hangs up before I can even speak
