Wake the fuck up fuzzbutts

Pretty much all major credit card companies and payment processors agreed today that a vast array of content is now banned from steam, itch.io, and essentially all media outlets. Fansley and only fans have also block banned furry content and more is sure to follow. It's entirely possible that hosting furry websites via traditional payment platforms will become impossible and require crypto.
Hell it's possible that paying for anything considered pornogrophy or displaying it in public may soon carry a felony charge in the US or the equivalent of that in other countries such as the EU. I understand that this sounds like I'm saying the sky is falling and you want to write me off as alarmist. I get it, I really do. I'm trans, I'm intersex, I'm disabled, I'm a pagan, and I'm a leftist. I'm in groups that have routinely faced oppression and I see threats from many places that most people write off.
But the writing is on the wall and they are comming for furries. They're comming for anyone and everyone that wants to present as or enjoy anything that isn't the body they were born into that isn't vanilla marriage. That isn't hyperbole, casual reasearch will show that is the agenda of both big tech, corporations, and of the right. They realize people don't want to have kids which will inevitably cause dips in profit and thus, instead of making the world better they think they can force people to have children by making everything illegal. Bonus, they get more minority groups to vilify and more slave labor in their prisons.
This is by design.
What can we do? We need to rally and push very hard to get an F added to LGBTAQ. I have huge problems with that organization. I'm ace and I'm intersex and I've been told bluntly by organizators that I am unwelcome and off message. Thankfully the community at large, especially skewing younger disagrees. Yes, there are older assholes in it openly discussing dropping trans people as appeasement but it isn't gaining traction. Also the movement is far bigger than the organization and if there was ever a time to make it about Alternative Lifestyles and Identity rather than narrow sexual identity now is the time.
We have to push, and push hard to be let into this block so we become a bigger community. Many of us are already a part of it, but if we push for furries on the whole to become a serious part of it then it becomes a much bigger group. It becomes harder to discriminate piece by piece and win now us down. This is also why we HAVE to stand with trans people and ANY discriminated groups.
If you can house someone who's homeless right now or provide sanctuary to someone foreign born in the US? Please consider it. Same with if you have the opportunity to talk publiclally (do not do debates, they are a waste of time), to phone bank, to talk with elected reps, to run for office, to do anything? Do so. There are also means of non violent resistence I won't go into but should be considered. Unionize and form groups. Push to be accepted into other groups. Talk with your neighbors. Be yourself openly and answer questions.
Contact any sympathetic company and make your case. Letter campaigns DO work. Public pushback works. We have to not just make allies, but form a real union with like minded people to stop what is happening. Now is the time because if we don't act now it's over. And as much as it pains me to say this, we do need to prepare for things getting worse. They will.
Wake the fuck up fuzzbutt. We got some fash to burn.

The fact that the UK just basically shadow dropped their new regulations - and saying that places like FA should had done some things by April and May this year!
At least for now they haven't done something, but seriously, there's wanting to protect the kids, and then there's intentionally forcing bull which is poorly regulated.
The only way this stops is for us all to band together, become mroe viable with other orpessed groups, and demand real change whilst reaching for the gears of government. Outreach helps too but it only goes so far.
We as a community have to rally and we have to reach out with other alternative lifestyles, queer communities, and leftist blocks to form an active collation.
Fascisim only succeeds when government isn't working and people are not active.
This bill places restrictions on certain banks, credit unions, and payment card networks if they refuse to do business with a person who complies with the law. Restrictions include prohibiting the use of electronic funds transfer systems and lending programs, termination of an institution's depository insurance, and specified civil penalties.
Banks and other specified financial institutions are allowed to deny financial services to a person only if the denial is justified by a documented failure of that person to meet quantitative, impartial, risk-based standards established in advance by the institution. This justification may not be based upon reputational risks to the institution.
The bill establishes the right for a person to bring a civil action for a violation of this bill.
