Blibbles - DRAGON RAGE

Sports Illustrated is covering it now.

Time to pretend to be a normie shareholder who wants to know why the brand is damaging its own reputation.

So instead of addressing any issues, Mastercard is FURTHER supressing criticism.

They're panicking.

Don't. Stop. Calling.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

they'll do this but they won't let you upload localizations of your own video under the same upload. lol. lmao.

Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.

the main reason me & my man started discussing marriage 2 years ago was after Roe v. Wade was struck down, as a “if a case went up, would you just want to elope?”

straight people do not have to deal with this shit. people hate the word “privilege” these days, but it’s a privilege & they’re lucky.

Happy Monday!! When you call your payment processors today maybe ask about why they were messing with the chats for some tournaments you were watching over the weekend?

To nobody's surprise, non-sexual games with two girls kissing are being caught in the censorship together with all the "obscene" "non-artistic porn"

Because it's gay.
And I know I've repeated this for like 8 years at this point:

To these people LGBTQIA = porn and porn = evil

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Pardon some of the anger lately. Not enough irreparable bad things are happening to bad people.

this is tragically going to work. they’re going to roll back all rights to before the time of ronald reagan and it’s going to take so much to reverse course of this fascism

VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Keep calling. This issue can't die.

It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo.

The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

I have no idea what this is referencing, but no, we've never been.

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

I don't like making this my personality anymore than you do, but it's VERY IMPORTANT that we keep up this momentum. We need to call. All of us. Make them regret this.

‘I feel violated’ - Queer Creators Lose Livelihoods in Itch.io bans The recent Itch bans on queer and NSFW content have damaged careers and put countless people out of work. Though some are now on the verge of homelessness, they’re still organizing and fighting back. TNN delves into what’s at stake on the frontlines of the fight against anti-queer censorship.

Over the past month, independent content hosting platform Itch.io has been systematically banning queer & NSFW content. We talked to creators about how this impacted them, and how they’re fighting back.

GOD SYMPHOGEAR IS SO FUCKING GOATED.

you don't have to like porn games, you don't have to like other people's kinks, but you have to defend them. that's community, i'm sorry. defend sex workers, defend pornographers, you have the things you like because of the risks they take. 6/6

It do.

Hey y'all, you want more in-depth, hard-hitting trans journalism like this?

A post on Twitter by the Gelbooru account that says: Currently people are contacting Visa and Mastercard, en-masse, in an effort to get them to explain why they are banning legal content from being transacted through their systems. These arbitrary restrictions caused companies, such as Steam, Itch.io, and others to pull violent and adult video games from their platforms. They continue to remain silent on the reason WHY they enforced the restrictions on the companies. I surmise they are gagged from speaking through likely threat of regulatory pressure. May I introduce, Russ Vought, a co-writer for Project 2025, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, AND Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/images/cfpb_headshot-russell-vought_DA8Ama7.original.png This man has already publicly stated his desire to have pornographic content, violent video games, and other types of content "harmful to children", banned from the internet. This claim he makes is not based on unbiased scientific testing. In a two minute clip posted on YouTube by The Intercept the following transcript, highlighted in yellow, shows his intended starting point (start with children), and then he cuts himself off from explaining the next part of the plan, of violent video games, etc, as that route had failed twice already in the past few decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0noIS9lmR0Y https://imgur.com/CxpcUOs https://theintercept.com/2024/08/16/project-2025-russ-vought-porn-ban/ Now, as his position in the CFPB, he has ultimate authority over payment providers and banks, and he has likely been abusing this power to strong-arm changes in these privately owned businesses regarding content he specifically had shown his distaste and hatred towards previously. All clearly telegraphed before hand, many years ago.

Continuing the tweet by the Gelbooru account: This was ALL done in the guise of protecting the children. Admittedly, it is a very solid tactic, at the core. But, if you use the mantra of protecting the children, it tends to mean that it's just a ploy, usually to further a specific agenda. They are a threat against the United States, nay, the entire world. They are a threat against our democracy, a threat against free speech, and a threat against gamers, a threat against media in general. These are the same people who believe violent video games cause violent things. An entire generation of individuals have been playing Grand Theft Auto, playing Doom, Quake, and other games, but we are not currently, nor will we face a worldwide pandemic of armed car robberies, driving on sidewalks for the fun of it, or people running around with sawed off shotguns killing demons, or raping people, because a video game was made exploring the content. Those in power have been eroding free speech in the law. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) provides immunity to online platforms from liability for content posted by their users. They are actively attempting to kill this protection to further their goals outlined in Project 2025, by passing liabilities of their userbase onto the operators via financial regulation threats and pressure, thus killing speech directly, while still keeping in the shadows publicly. "He filmed the crimes and posted monetized rape videos on P*rnhub, earning revenue for him and the site owners." https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1898747162306937184 This is their attempt to kill section 230 immunity. You should not be frightened that they MAY come into power, they are ALREADY IN POWER. They are exercising it spectacularly, taking baby steps to erode away your speech, and we've all been asleep at the wheel.

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

you know what would be really funny?

if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"
