Consumers are revolting against payment processors who seek to ban adult-themed Steam games, movies, and art. A Change.org petition aimed at Visa and Mastercard is rapidly gaining support. Its organizers also wish to limit the power of activist groups that influence these companies.
Dude am I the only one who is glad this s*** is off steam? I grew up on Steam back when it only had Half Life on it, and it makes me sad that they devolved into literally Rape Games and other demented content. Are we all just going to pretend this isn’t or wasn’t an issue? The last thing our society needs is “more porn”. This is the type of s**** we should be fighting against and I say that as a man who on a dark and stormy night pulls up some inappropriate content.
As if there are not enough places to get porn on the internet.
Much like the adult section of the movie rental place, or the romance section at the book store, or the sex toy section at Walmart, you are free to not browse the content you are uninterested in.

The problem isn’t what the content was, the problem is letting a payment processor dictate what is and is not acceptable even when legal
Today it’s “rape content” tomorrow, it’s vanilla porn, then the day after it’s LGBTQ+ affirmative content
Itch.io already went and hid all adult content afaik, so we are already past the first stage even.
They even removed games like Mouthwashing so we’re already at step 3 basically
They’re after those places next.
