Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content โ€“ under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

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

โ€œPlease send us emails insteadโ€ means โ€œwe can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructureโ€

Keep fucking calling.

Visa is easy but you have to trick the phone tree with Mastercard

1. select option that you have a card
2. select option to for account info
3. press a few random buttons when asked to give ur card, wait until it transfers you to an agent
4. Request to file a complaint abt discriminatory practices

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

I'm going to outline for you exactly how the christofacists win, because it's an obnoxiously simple strategy but a reliably powerful one.

You know that post that's like "I don't trust y'all to eat the rich because you'll just target a bunch of doctors and actors and forget about the people who do the real damage?" That's our communal Achilles Heel.

Here's the play: Collective Shout organizes a bunch of phone calls to payment processors demanding the elimination of NSFW/LGBT/ETC content. Payment processors go "oh, that's a lot of phone calls, we should do something" and then tell Steam and Itch to comply with those demands or be cut off from being able to do business. Then Steam and Itch have to make a decision between cutting off an arm and clamping down, or take a stand and shoot themselves in the head, functionally nuking their entire platform which, especially for Steam, have exponentially farther reaching ramifications.

Then our community gets mad at *them* and start calling them cowards and boot lickers and profess never to support them again. And like, yeah I get that getting mad at Itch is easy when you've got nothing to lose, but what the fuck with "I'll only support you, the comparatively small business with no real power as long as you can singlehandedly and successfully fight off the international might of the owners of theocratic capitalism with no further action from me?" like do people really not see the distance between creators and Itch (that's like, what? 30 people?) vs fucking Mastercard??

When the Goblin has Spider-man under his glider, we start throwing shit at him, we don't go "Damn, Spider-man, you said you'd save us. I guess you suck. Fuck you."

So if you want to be more than a useful, reactionary pawn, I'm linking to a bunch of posts where smarter people than I are sharing payment processors phone numbers, scripts on how to talk to them, and other resources. If you do not pick up your phone and make that call you have *no* right to be mad at a company that has historically been pretty good about their support for creators and are likely trying to figure out how to weather this storm in real time.

Letโ€™s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW! Every single day we donโ€™t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

Friends, we got a call to action ๐Ÿ‘‡

We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi!

This is why we need regulation like Californiaโ€™s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

Your Smartwatch's Heart Rate Monitor Was Developed by a Furry Dr. David Benaron is an inventor whose team at Stanford laid the groundwork for the optical heart rate monitor. He's also a cheetah named Spottacus.

If you have a smartwatch with the green light, thank Spottacus. Itโ€™s incalculable how many lives his work has saved- so many people who otherwise wouldnโ€™t have gotten help without alerts from his system. What a legacy.
