Taking a break from here to reset, I clearly need it The obsession over defending and protecting itchio from all scrutiny needs to be controlled. It is getting in the way of the truth. The platform needs to accept responsibility in mismanagement of its various issues — as do its biggest defenders

the state of texas pulled a 13-year-old trans boy out of class and subjected him to the same questioning that kids get when they're molested because his parents accepted him. it's what's happening, and it shouldn't be considered activism to say it. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/...

The powers that be are totally ok with you getting Covid repeatedly. They know repeat Covid infections weaken your immune system and make you susceptible to chronic illness and disability. Guess why they’re ok with it 👇 The resistance includes N95 worn in public spaces every day 😷 Protect everyone.

"We will continue to hunt and kill every last civilian."

Oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me “Blair would head a body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (Gita) which would have a mandate to be Gaza’s “supreme political and legal authority” for as long as five years.”

I don’t feel like I can even do my job around itch because people get so precious about it, and this site is very bad at enabling abusive behavior when it seems to be coming “from a good place.” It always starts looking good faith, that’s the problem….

And I have so much insane shit going on in my life — I left my job for this beat — and people just act so insane so quickly if I criticize something they like. I’m so fucking tired of it dude. My mental health can’t take this shit

I hate dealing with this website sometimes because it only takes one thread for people to start sending you harassing replies and DMs and messages and acting like they’re going to disown you forever and start treating you like an enemy. It hurts on here in a way that no other site can offer

further analysis and context. I don’t know guys. Do you want journalists who look into the facts, report them as they emerge, and stress when developers are frustrated with a platform? Or do you want journalists to play itchio defense squad and ignore devs’ growing issues with the platform?

I also need to stress that the urge to defend and protect itchio puts a target on journalists’ backs when they try to report on problems with the platform. I went back to bed with a panic attack, knowing I would wake up to people going after me for simply expanding on GIbiz’s reporting and providing

I’ve been talking about this payout issue with itch since August. And Rascal notes the problem pre-dates CS. Take off the rose tinted glasses. Something is wrong

Why are people so precious about itch? It’s a company. Why can’t people treat it like one? Everyone acts like it’s their buddy or friend

I feel this so much.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you. Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

Pete Hegseth is praising a story about h German generals being gathered to swear loyalty to Hitler as Hegseth prepares to gather all the generals in the US for a meeting. Not beating those nazi allegations.

We haven't had time to cover this more deeply, but it has been clear to us for a while that the full story is not being told by Itch.io, and their continued poor communication to the community and terribly unprofessional attacks on @transnews.network journalists should be noted by queer game devs.

We can actually confirm this. An anonymous (verified) Stripe employee told me last month that Stripe does not permit *any* sale of adult content, regardless of whether it is delisted. Stripe explained this to Itch in August, while Itch was continuously misleading their community (and harassing us).

Uhhh, folks? This is real bad. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I don’t think the president should have the power to just arbitrarily declare online that IKEA cannot do business in the United States for no particular reason other than he feels like it

boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

Telling people to “tough it out” when they’re sick is ableism. Saying that autism is “unacceptable” is eugenics. Bragging about the strong people who don’t take meds or vaccines? It infers that those who need medications are weak. It’s all eugenics. This regime sees disabled people as less than.

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

Having both of these at once feels unfair lmao, I have the rack of a pregnant milf and a massive cock, who built me like this 🍈🤪🍆

I think I'm going to do a slight timeline cleanse since I mostly talk about politics and stuff and instead have a nice thread about eating apples since it's apple season. I've decided to try as many varieties as I can and note what I think. #Apples #Fruit #Fall #Autumn

It's a little stressful the way everything is like this these days.

Today's date, 9/25/2025, is probably the last date of our lifetime where the month, day, and year are all square numbers 😱 The next time this will happen is on 1/1/2116.

hi, cis folks! do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we! please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

to emma watson and people like her, driving us out of society, segregating us and endangering us by force of law - it’s just a difference of opinion. it has no consequences for her life, so she can’t understand or empathize with the consequences it has on ours.

this says so much about how emma and people like her view us and view JK’s years of work and funding for trans extermination, though, doesn’t it? in the UK, they’re fully segregating us from society, and Emma Watson is a willing part of that work. but she feels entitled to be loved, regardless.

Seems they only changed positions when caught by journalists (props to the journalists putting in the work) so I won’t be praising Microsoft as doing some moral good here (still boycotting them personally) but this is a big deal and I hope other companies follow.

I get wanting escapism from the horrors of life but the mentality in this email is something I think is a major problem with the world right now. People who only want easy and comfortable art that doesn't challenge you in any way. Media isn't made just for you to be comfortable and have an escape.

new Worst Kind of Person just dropped!!!!

There are still people at conventions telling me, "They won't ban porn!" but these ID verification laws already have. Because there is no federal, safe and secure way to make those verifications happen; we will simply see site shut down or ban porn all together. You have to be realistic.

Finding out that so many people have purchased my books but never backed them up anywhere safe?! People really thought porn wasn't in trouble, huh? They really thought that Itchio could go on forever with anti-porn bills breathing down our necks... 😭

Goes to show just how quickly Israel backs down when confronted with actual resistance. While I'm glad some action is being taken finally it also is clear that western countries could have stopped this a long time ago and chose to let it continue.

recalling something about how nazism was a manifestation of sexual repression

Using my returned bully pullpit after it was taken away for not sucking the dick of a dead Nazi hard enough to make sure to suck the wifes Nazi clit this time too. Libs are spineless even when history demands it. Especially when history demands it. Every rich person is READY to become a Nazi now.

children are human beings. that's what almost everybody refuses to acknowledge. they are /people/. and hating people for who they are is actually pretty uncool at best

Fr tho just... avoid nsfw content in general, block us, get therapy ? Your triggers are not our responsability.

Hot take but if you feel triggered by what us NSFW artists post on the Internet, well guess what : that's not our problem :)

Great thread on both how bad this book is and how the authors of the book have lost the plot completely. Also, I'm always down with people who, like me, argue with the authors of the book in the margins and write stuff like "oh fuckoff" when presented with an author's bullshit. 10/10.

Heck yeah, love yourself! I love seeing not just bodies like mine in art but happiness and appreciation around that type of body ❤️
