Visa / Mastercard / PayPal etc etc are lobbying against NSFW content using (Collective Shout), a group that wants you all to be a good Christian.
This week Steam (large number of games) and Itch.io eliminated all of their NSFW content to appease these clowns,
they might go after FA or other platforms or maybe even directly target the artists in future.
Be aware that content censorship is a problem now and people are blindly supporting that.
This is the first step and they will continue to evolve if people will not put this to stop,
it initially started as "we will not support horrendous awful content on the internet".
Now just completely eliminating NSFW content off two major platforms, it will continue hell this might turn into 90's all over again
"Violent videogame" scare phase all over again.
I can safely predict this will be evolved further to being used for political censorship in future, yaaay "Freedom" got to love the west.
(Freedom of Speech and Expression if I like it :) )
Anyways here's a video from Charlie talking about it if you want to learn more.

Moral of the story...
THESE PAYMENT PROCESSORS SHOULD NOT TELL YOU WHAT TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON!
THESE PAYMENT PROCESSORS SHOULD NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY IN WHAT IS BEING SOLD ON THE INTERNET!
Note (I hate that i have to explain this..):
I do not care about the stuff that Collective Shout claims that they will "Target" the really degenerate disgusting stuff that it'd rather not list here.
But I care about how people are using Payment processors to control the media now.
If this goes on the hand of other big companies and politicians this might make things so much worse in future.

I got an email about how my yet-to-be-finished comic got suspended from the site and it's really unfair.
Who's to say they can't decide what books and movies you can and can't buy, what food products and brands you can and can't buy, etc. It's just a slippery slope from here and it cannot stand.
or maybe even content that is subjectively politically correct or incorrect depending on the perception of the person.
It takes 1000 phone calls from 1000 angry moms to shutdown things using Collective Shout which is holding (the payment processors)
Visa / Mastercard on leash literally.
we are entering a very dark age of western fascism.
we are losing freedom of speech and expression, we are losing artistic values. everything is turning into corporate black and white now.
We all have the right to purchase anything that we want with the money we earn, so not only is what they're doing complete and utter lunacy, but it's a violation of all of our freedoms.
Nobody should have the right to tell a full grown adult what we can and cannot buy with our money, simple as that.
Yet here are, living a time that they want to control what YOUR MONEY (that you worked for and earned) is being spent on, you can't insult the "orange demigod" otherwise you will be deported (ahem kidnapped). They want to change the definition of purchase too. Now you don't own any property, you "buy" the license to use it (that's another topic about video game industry too) :)

The dogs over at collective shout achieved this outcome by badgering these cc companies through phonecalls and emails 1000 times. Meanwhile there are over hundreds of thousands more of us.
If we coordinate and are persistant, we may have a chance yet to do the funniest shit to add to the list of achievements furries have made collectively. :3c
In the link are not only a couple petitions, but also phonenumbers of the offending cc companies in question that you can help spread the word on;

my concern is this is a new method bigots from the above class will use to control the media and potential control what we all should and should not consume, the concept of "Collective Shout" is what concerns me and they will absolutely go after whoever wants to pull strings (someone who has lots of money such as major companies or politicians etc) The censorship it's self is the problem and I know some one will inevitably twist this narrative into me defending depravity stuff etc. Again the whole meme of (Freedom of expression "if i like it").
This seems to be the meta nowadays from billionaires, gaslight people into believing that they are doing the right thing by highlighting the most extreme examples to create a hysteria and it's super effective, because people are TOO LAZY to research and will just consume and eat what they see on Twitter (XXX) or Tiktok or whatever social media slop is producing today that is mostly AI generated.
to access some platforms too, including discord. world's pretty messed up now honestly :/
It's completely in chaos, though
Collective shout and Mastercard, PayPal, Visa and those peole are completely mentally insane and sick.
