  1. This is what this campaign is all about. It wasn't about porn. It was about protecting kids. This about is censorship and control. Keep making those calls. Make these companies explain themselves. Waste their time like they wasted ours. #SaveSpeech #CPBC

WHO?

HOW TO CONTACT
WHAT TO DO
Card
MASTERCARD
+
VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.
MASTERCARD

Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.

Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic.

WELLS FARGO
Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.

For now, begin by treating banks the same as how the CARDS and PAYPROS were early on. Call in, make explicit complaints re: Adult Content....

    Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

  2. despite what it looks like I'm pretty self conscious about mouthing off as much as I do, because I personally take it as a symptom my life is more chaotic than it should be. I'm at my happiest and comfortable when I can have the stability to make art my feature instead of my thoughts

  3. when I have a more stable read of life I tend to speak less because I focus on what I can produce, not what needs fixing. I don't actually know how much my opinions on things matter, my threads is just talking myself through a lot of frustration at wishing things was better.

  4. my one rule is to not post while mad to not make SM an anger management tool (something I had to break out of from when I was in my 20s, extremely toxic). i rant my thoughts about things mostly as a vehicle to clear my head and remind myself i'm not going insane about the state of things
