KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill ๐Ÿ”ฅ

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:

Complaint Letter Template



Customer Complaint Dept,

This message is to lodge an official complaint about the ongoing rampant restrictions your company has placed on legal sales made by legitimate businesses.

These restrictions are not only counter to the concept of freedom of speech and expression, but they harm consumers, businesses, and they harm your companyโ€™s bottom line.

The following actions are absolutely necessary to protect the freedoms of your client base and the sustainability of legitimate business practices:

Remove from your Terms of Service any mention barring the use of your service for sale and purchase of legal products.
Contact Steam (Valve), Itch.io, and any other company you have previously put pressure on to retract your content restrictions.
Put in place protections to prevent such restrictions from being put in place in the future without ample warning and time to contest them.

If these changes aren't made then I, along with many others will be forced to seek other options for processing payments.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Customer.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

Hey, I made printable flyers for the economic boycott. Print them out, put them up around your town. Spread the word. Up on my Ko-Fi for $0 because I didn't know what else would be a good option to share it on that I already have.

It is February 28 tomorrow.

This means a total and complete economic blackout.

This means buying nothing.

Please, I've even made a graphic for it now. Stop labeling sex stuff as "graphic"! The other labels already cover it! If it's kinky, that's "adult"!

"is this abandoned/discontinued" or "update when" or similar are never appropriate comments. instead, tell the author your favorite things about the fic, what you're hoping to find out in future chapters, that you reread it all the time... that encourages authors way more than "where chapter"

Y'all, I was standing in my kitchen by my fridge when it started rhythmically whirring and my dumbass was like, "The refrigerator has a message for me."
No, it was my phone on the counter by the refrigerator buzzing from a discord call. Someone had a message but it wasn't the damn refrigerator.
