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:

2. MASTERCARD:

Creative labor is already underpaid and exploited, and trans authors can't afford the loss.
People are going to go hungry if this holds. They might end up on the street.
Another consideration: a trans bundle on Itch just moved 46k in sales. Trans authors are making record income. This is theft.

You can quit platforms like itch or Steam, but that isnβt going to solve this problem. Weβve seen that with Patreon, Porn Hub, Imgur, etc. Any online purchase or membership site is at risk. Kickstarter, personal Shopify sites, Backer Kit, Ko-Fi, etc.

While I deeply appreciate the support from everyone I wanted to let you know that I have had a couple offers regarding covering expenses for a celebration of life. I have absolutely no plans yet on that but I will try to keep everyone updated. Thereβs not a need to donate to the gofundme. But I want everyone to remember the joy and love Jonathan has brought and will continue to bring forever. I have my essentials covered and our family in San Antonio is taking care of me until I get back to South Carolina. Instead of donating Jonathan and I would both rather you spread the word about the consistent injustice done to him, to us, and to our dogs. We had so many beautiful plans for the future.
Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

Maksim tells me he has developed a kinship with the transgender detainees in particular, who he says face brutal harassment from both guards and fellow inmates. βIβve befriended several,β he says. βBut here, especially for trans peopleβ¦ just disappear. One day theyβre here, the next day, no one knows. Were they deported? Released? No one tells us.β
In that landscape of indifference, Maksim has found a kind of resistance in solidarity. He is part of a small community of queer detainees who take care of each other.
βIβd be happy if America wants to deport me,β he says. βJust not to Russia. Mexico would be fine.β

He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people⦠just disappear."

Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets'
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called βDEI Watch Listβ published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies.
This list is mostly Black women. It's clear that the entire anti-DEI project is just neo-segregation. It's the same reason they only targeted Black women at Harvard. They don't believe people of color or women should have any positions of power. www.aol.com/federal-heal...
