a thing about getting older we donโt talk about enough is that some people will lie about verifiable historical facts you lived through in a way that makes you feel like you have gone mad

The front cover of a comic. The title, Orla!, is written in swirling red and pink script. The main image shows a blonde woman crying while on her phone and wiping blood from her face. In the background the silhouette of a hulking monster is about to devour a dude in a "men's rights" t-shirt.
If you're heading to your local comic store this Wednesday, you should definitely pick up issue one of Orla - a sharp, timely, hilarious horror comedy about an incurable romantic who is also a flesh-eating monster.

Historically, groups like Bash Back are a major reason queer and trans people made any gains whatsoever. About damn time these tactics made a comeback.

What I love about the uk indie comics community - and how totally different it is from the uk book community - is how queer it is, how many poc creators there are & women & the diversity of ages. Itโs the art form of the marginalised and Iโm proud to have come from it

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography
AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

Indie comics ain't easy. Working very hard to make something as well as you possibly can that you know only a few people outside of yourself care about can be quite lonely, and often feels almost like a folly.
Please let indie creators know you enjoy their work, it really helps.

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 option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3
2. MASTERCARD:

I have zero time for lectures from the โif you donโt vote Labour you want FASCISM!โ crowd. Oh, we better rally behind Labour to stop the election of a Govt that censors the internet, riles up violence against migrants, drives trans people out of public life and makes protesting genocide terrorism.

You can't defend gore, violent, gruesome media without defending sex and erotic media. Both go hand in hand, there's eroticism in the grotesque, theres horror in the sensual. Your "purity" about sex won't save you if you think making war is better than making love
