one year ago, i put out the song Cadmium Colors - a piece of myself, a desperate plea to be remembered, to live on my own terms without wanting to die. it means the world that you all keep listening, making art, and passing the brush along. it's autumn every day in my heart.
One of the most important things you can do right now to protect @itchio is to CALL STRIPE (877) 887-7815
Please call the 7815 number below regarding Stripe. Itchio has directly named them as a payment processor of focus with critical impact on the site. This is one of the most important calls you can make to fight Collective Shout
coming out of hibernation. furious at this payment processor+collective shout bs. all creative expression is at risk especially those that use human sexuality to communicate. we have to do what we can. sign that petition, raise hell at visa/mastercard, anything!
If you guys support what I do on the back end of things while everything’s been getting dog doodooed on for years and wouldn’t mind signing this. It would mean a lot. Censorship in this way isn’t ok when we are all legally consenting adults.
Please sign this petition. Make it go viral. Let the ACLU know that payment processor-based discrimination & censorship are serious issues that you want them to take on
Please know the whole gaming community is furious about this. Left, right, and center. Bluesky is just as mad as Twitter. This is an issue we all can come together on to fight against censorship
yeah itchio just shadowbanned everything tagged with 'adult', 'nsfw', or 'erotic' so they don't show up when you search for them, and i've seen a few devs saying their nsfw games were removed from itchio outright w/ no warning
Payment processors came for itchio? Likely, given Collective Shout targeted them specifically in their campaign as well. Per @ebihimes:
Remember, payment processors DID cave with OnlyFans due to massive public backlash: bostonherald.com/2021/08/25/onl…
Some starting points on how to organize against payment processor censorship (in the US): * Contact your local politicians * Contact the ACLU & other free speech orgs * Send tips to reporters abt this issue * Create infographs and spread the word * Get the word out via TikTok…
Itchio has directly named Collective Shout in its statement on deindexing NSFW material

Morning. This petition has made massive progress literally overnight. It's ~87.6% completed. We can get this to 100k TODAY and use it as an opportunity to get the ACLU to focus on what's happening to Steam and itch. Sign if you haven't already

This is a very good take from bint. If you're in a corpo PLEASE talk to your genmates about this stuff. I know it's challenging and I know it's embarrassing but it's important to support one another and have each other's backs. A lot of good has come from it in the industry
Whatever industry you work with, being open with your coworkers about this kind of financial shit goes a long way. Companies thrive on people not sharing their issues and putting pressure on them through solidarity.

IMPORTANT CENSORSHIP NEWS: Apparrently "Itch,io" is now removing all games from their site that is tagged NSFW According to a poster its the same situation as Steam. Think we all know who's responsible for this
