A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
Youโ€™re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Donโ€™t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaireโ€™s control

#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

Itch has unlisted Chord Progressions UPDATE 4: The best thing you can do right now to help is reach out to payment processing companies and annoy them about this problem. One of the best resources to find phone numbers, scripts, and othe...

I've updated my devlog addressing the ongoing de-listing issue with itch.

TLDR: The best way we can get the outcome we're looking for is putting pressure on the payment processors themselves. yellat.money is a good resource to help you get started.

In summary:

- This call campaign needs to last at least a month
- As many calls as possible, so bring your friends
- Make sure each call lasts as long as possible
- Each time you make a call, mention it's not the first time you've called about this

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

LMAO I called Visaโ€™s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like โ€œare you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.โ€

Keep up the calls, folks, weโ€™re definitely gumming up their works

Heads up for my American mutuals! The American Civil Liberties Union is running a petition against Mastercard (one of the entities behind the censorship of NSFW games on itch). Let's do our part and sign!

You can find it at:

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

โ†ป๐Ÿ’ฌโ™ก to boost

We CAN make a difference ๐Ÿ’•

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Tell MasterCard, Visa & Activist Groups: Stop Controlling What We Can Watch, Read, or Play

THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY PORN. Patreon, OnlyFans, and now even *Steam* have all been affected by rich bullies attempting to kill my industry.

Here is a link to a petition to show that we don't support payment processors deciding what we can create and buy!

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matterโ€”not journalistic complaints

Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you
