Esbi (Patience is a Virtue OUT NOW!)

Daily check in 08/08/2024

We're closing in on two weeks of calling! Paypal is back to playing dumb, Visa is sticking to the script, MasterCard is really tired of this, and Stripe still won't answer the phone.

I'm considering doing my calls live tomorrow on Twitch.-

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa/Mastercard situation and I'm here to remind you to call them! Keep those phone lines busy! Send them letters if you want! Don't do e-mail cause they'll just ignore you!

We need to fight this now and fight for long because otherwise things won't change.

My favorite whimsical gremlin only has one audition so far 😭 black VAs where are y'all!!

This is a super fun role, you get to unleash your inner theater kid and spread the joy and whimsy 🤧

This means Mastercard in particular is actively afraid of people bringing up Riot's connection to them negatively.

I think people should raid Riot's official livestreams and start spamming things like:

"#SaveSpeech from Mastercard!"
"MASTERCARD HATES THIS --> (.)(.)"
"#stopkillinggames"

and more

Itch And Steam's New Policies Reflect A Larger Battle On Free Speech Collective Shout's campaign--and censorship in general--will only make video games worse.

YOOOOO congrats!!!

Zoom is already saying they're pushing for them to stop selling Duke and GTA. This is the line. I will keep saying it over and over because it really it do or die time.

oh this is devious

NANI!? A game about quarter life crisis?

With ongoing pressure campaigns, not everyone can push 100% all the time

If you and maybe a friend or two can jump in "late"? You give people a chance to recharge their batteries, so they can take over again once you need to recharge yours

Its a marathon, not a race

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

playing the dumb southern valley girl on calls today and it's really, really effective. you can prattle on and on and they won't stop you because you're just a confused customer! why am I seeing all these news stories and headlines that my cards are banning websites? are these websites even safe??

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Hey, it would mean so much to me if y'all kept up the pressure with phone calls to payment processors to show to them how much people care and that they can't just ignore it—my livelihood depends on adult games not being censored!

You can find info and phone scripts here: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Wow you busted that coat off fast. Let's get those pants off pronto.

Comment below with your experience! Each call/letter earns points, but they gotta be new! If I liked the reply yesterday, it's been counted and can't be used again!

Today was WILD! Started off calling PayPal and when I mentioned that I was calling about the take down of adult games, the lady on the other end went BALLISTIC. She insisted that PayPal has NEVER allowed PORNOGRAPHY to be purchased through it, and when I brought up -

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet.

Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions.

The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.

There is now a link that contains comprehensive information on how to contact all card companies and payment processors involved.

oh hey i got my first spam comment hell yeah

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea.

Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

Additionally, mention how this decision and this course of action is reflecting negatively on their company and brand identity and how you've heard friends and family that they are considering moving or closing accounts.

It really is now or never. Both paypros and government are making the big push to effectively kill the internet. We might be talking about porn now but porn is step one in a process that moves blindingly fast

Payment processors have released statements—passing the blame to each other—but there's still work to be done to reverse their stances on NSFW games. Additionally, lawmakers across the world have been pushing for tighter legislation on NSFW content.

Check the link below to stand with NSFW creators⤵️

👏

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

keep the pressure on payment processors to reverse their vague stances on NSFW content, but also contact your representatives as a slew of legislation aimed at online censorship have been introduced worldwide, such as the reintroduction of KOSA.

let your voices be heard!!

Sign the Petition Stop Bill S-209’s De-Anonymization of Every Canadian Adult

It was only a matter of time, but Canada has joined the censorship bandwagon with Bill S-209.

Sign the petition, call your MPs, raise hell.

All three Canadians out here with me, don't let them win a fucking inch of ground.

Just called Visa. The rep actually raised his voice when I asked whether I could email with an AOL account. Holy. They are PRESSED

Every single multinational turns into a smol bean when pressured, but Mastercard holding the actual keys to global ecommerce as a whole and acting like this makes me think you should call and specifically ask them what the fuck they mean by this.
