Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.

But I still want the stuff they've made, their back catalogues, etc.

Some of em, but also im gonna want new stuff.

Then if they don't live near me, how do i support them?

Remember the problem here is the money system.

You can still send them money even if they can't sell their games. e.g. they could have a ko-fi or paypal or something. As for finding new stuff, I suppose it'd have to be word of mouth unfortunately.

ko-fi or paypal

Dude paypal has been christofascist from day 1. How do i get money to their ko-fi?

And? That doesn't mean you can't send them money on it.

If they have a ko-fi then just use the web ui to donate...

fair enough

it will block or black-list them soon enough

Paypal is bad, but I've not heard of it blocking accounts just for people being queer. That seems like it would lose them a lot of customers—not because of backlash, but because a lot of people are queer.
