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.
A tip for my fellow indie publishers;
Start keeping a spreadsheet of alt text for all the artwork and frequently used assets associated with your stuff. It will make your life so much easier when it comes time to do accessibility passes in books, websites, or when you need alt text for social media

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"
Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

Do you like dragons in fantasy? How about queer dragons? Adventure, romance, high stakes, personal conflicts, and morally grey characters.
I need to sell 7 more copies of this book to break even!
