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. Advocate for porn, whole heartedly.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this. The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs. *Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Remember if phone calls are too much for you, or if you need a break, mailing physical letters is another great vector to contact paypros or your representatives!

Daily check in 08/25/2025 So things got a little crazy today. MasterCard refused to create a new complaint for me since my phone number already has 10 on them. Visa went back to its old script both times I called. PayPal however, lost its mind. -

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS. They have spent billions and billions and years and years convincing us that what we have to say as common folk is worthless because of not paying for their degrees or programs. Our existence is enough. Our comfort is enough.

Want some variety in what you call Visa and Mastercard for? Pick a movie with any sort of violent or sexual theme and say you want to buy it, but make sure to tell them about the themes their TOS doesn't allow. Ask them if it's ok bc their own rules sure don't say so and oh man it's just such a mess

Daily Check in 08/24/2025 Got to the calls late today, but they were certainly interesting. When I asked PayPal why it was censoring games they told me the government was making them. When I asked which government, they said they didn't have to tell me. Yet another weird excuse from PayPal. -

Non-consensual mutilation of a person or body part?? that's any piece of media at or above a PG this applies to fucking Home Alone, for god's sake, it's just a confusing list so they can justify censoring anything keep calling

It would be REALLY funny if Visa suddenly got tips from thousands of people reporting every store that has ever carried an official Star Wars movie. Those are just jam-packed with 'non-consentual mutilation of a person or body part', which is apparently against the rules to distribute.

Talking to indie devs, these things shock them most about adult games: * Adult games are *manually* reviewed by someone at Valve, and this can take weeks * Valve has no clear guidelines on acceptable adult content * Rejections never come with a solid explanation * There is no appeals process

and with that, ALL OF MY OSTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON BANDCAMP!!! If anyone wants to listen, feel free! ^^ esbi.bandcamp.com

💯No exaggeration this is HANDS DOWN, the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST talk/video/coverage of the censorship issue I HAVE EVER SEEN. 5 minutes in I knew it was going to be amazing, and EVERY point she made had me going 'YES, THIS EXACTLY!' Please watch this, share it everywhere, & send it to everyone you know

Daily check in 08/14/2025 Visa has dropped it's script! Not sure if this was a work form on high because it simply wasn't working, or they've just gotten tired of it, but they're now just accepting the complaints. They're not actually filing them, but they've stopped arguing. Which means-

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

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment. If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business. Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

Not my experience. Here's a small, little-known giantess game that didn't get hit with a search suggestion ban -- compared to one of Krispykat's SFW yuri games. I think their whole account was labeled for search suggestion ban, which is quite overreaching

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.

#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.

VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE. Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Don't stop complaining ! @voiddebris.bsky.social anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co

something i tried today that seemed to get good mileage was using the "hey i saw this statement by Visa that said:-" as an opener, and then segueing it into "and i bring that up because i want to buy (mainstream thing that technically is against their content policy. ex: GoT)"

oh hey good morning worl- CARDIACS ARE BACK???????????????? ??????? ????????????? ? ????????????? I'm not even gonna listen to the single but if it really keeps that Tim Smith touch like everyone says holy shit we're so back

Daily check in 08/08/2024 We're closing in on two weeks of calling! Paypal is back to playing dumb, Visa is sticking to the script, MasterCard is really tired of this, and Stripe still won't answer the phone. I'm considering doing my calls live tomorrow on Twitch.-

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa/Mastercard situation and I'm here to remind you to call them! Keep those phone lines busy! Send them letters if you want! Don't do e-mail cause they'll just ignore you! We need to fight this now and fight for long because otherwise things won't change.

My favorite whimsical gremlin only has one audition so far 😭 black VAs where are y'all!! This is a super fun role, you get to unleash your inner theater kid and spread the joy and whimsy 🤧 #VNDev #voiceactor #castingcall #voiceactors

This means Mastercard in particular is actively afraid of people bringing up Riot's connection to them negatively. I think people should raid Riot's official livestreams and start spamming things like: "#SaveSpeech from Mastercard!" "MASTERCARD HATES THIS --> (.)(.)" "#stopkillinggames" and more

Zoom is already saying they're pushing for them to stop selling Duke and GTA. This is the line. I will keep saying it over and over because it really it do or die time.

oh this is devious

With ongoing pressure campaigns, not everyone can push 100% all the time If you and maybe a friend or two can jump in "late"? You give people a chance to recharge their batteries, so they can take over again once you need to recharge yours Its a marathon, not a race

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.

playing the dumb southern valley girl on calls today and it's really, really effective. you can prattle on and on and they won't stop you because you're just a confused customer! why am I seeing all these news stories and headlines that my cards are banning websites? are these websites even safe??

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored! You can find info and phone scripts here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Wow you busted that coat off fast. Let's get those pants off pronto. Comment below with your experience! Each call/letter earns points, but they gotta be new! If I liked the reply yesterday, it's been counted and can't be used again! Check yellat.money for numbers, information, and scripts!

Daily Check in 08/04/2025 Today was WILD! Started off calling PayPal and when I mentioned that I was calling about the take down of adult games, the lady on the other end went BALLISTIC. She insisted that PayPal has NEVER allowed PORNOGRAPHY to be purchased through it, and when I brought up -

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. Link: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... #screenact #badinternetbills #stopkosa

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet. Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions. The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

There is now a link that contains comprehensive information on how to contact all card companies and payment processors involved. yellat.money

oh hey i got my first spam comment hell yeah

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea. Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?
