Kind of like how Republicans wamt to police your sexual partners. Pretty sad in this day of age. Who cares how people spend money and what they spend it on.

If you're so concerned about kids, launch a parental education campaign. Or age verify with the card.

If you're a parent, you shouldn't be attaching your payment methods to kids' accounts anyway. That's financial suicide.

Fuck you dollar jesus.

Funny part is that one of Jesus's favorite disciplines was a prostitute. I don't think Jesus was has as prudish as his followers are.

To the people who are pushing this:

Do you want everyone to start using crypto where all transactions are not controllable by you at all? Because this is how you get people to do that.

Hate it. Especially itch.io nuking everything. Adult games is basically the only reason I even had an account on there

Society has never been able to keep NSFW content out of the hands of viewers / end users, and have tried multiple times. Singles (a The Sims -like with actual sex -- if kinda clinical; it was a German game) was pressured off shelves in Target, Gamestop and Electronics Boutique. It came back with underwear stapled on, which was quickly hacked off.

This is how we ended up with official / unofficial patches that re-unlock all the naked bits in games like Huniepop, Nude keys, nude codes and nude patches became the convention which ushered video games into the same perversity level of cinema. (We've already had countless fan-made nude patches for non-romantic games).

And of course they're going too far, pressuring distribution services to cut LGBT+ content whether it's porn or not. Before they were emboldened by Trump, there was already pressure to de-list specific themes (an incomplete list: rape/NC; fictional child sex abuse/child experimentation; incest; and depending on the assessment, furry content within a certain threshold.¹ ). Anyhow we know the white Christian nationalist movement (from which the Heritage Society's Project 2025 and the Seven Mountain Mandate come) is looking to criminalize porn and make it difficult to access.

1: This is still weird to me, enough to geek out about it here. Furry hate gets strangely specific. It breaks down like this:

• Those who disapprove of all furry content that is adult-themed (contrast the 1983 movie Rock and Rule vs. 1973 Disney's Robin Hood ) this group probably only exists because there's a significant fanbase for furry porn / erotica.
• Of those that remain, those who disapprove of furry content featuring explicit sex (e.g. "Omaha" the Cat Dancer first published in 1976, by Reed Waller and Kate Worley.)
• Of those that remain, those who disapprove of furry content that is exclusively erotic (I can't find the specific ones I've read, which isn't many.)
• Of those that remain, those who disapprove of erotic furry content that features species-accurate genitals, which is the threshold VISA was in, and is too spicy for some lemmings. I don't fully understand why this is a subcategory.

The thing is most porn games and most LGBT+ centric games are labors of love, first, and a revenue source second. They will get made and get out, more so, when entire demographics and communities are stripped of a voice or of acknowledgement. It also puts less spicy porn in the same category as unethically spicy porn (e.g. CSAM). If the public has to use the same methods as terrorists and child predators to get their fix, it makes those groups less illegitimate. In for a lamb, in for a sheep.

What does Jesus need with my credit card information?

The time is now if you're looking to start your own payment system

Just read about brazilian PIX system and I am baffled. Their gov bypassed payment companies all together and trump is really angry about it Lol. Epic

I want my wifu game back

People believing in their fake arguments... What they want is to empower the power (a dictatorial State)

See, I'm no fan of Bitcoin. It's pure speculation and hardly serves a purpose while burning down a rainforest for every transaction. Also the ledger makes things traceable, so it's also a worse concept than cash.

This, however, is a good example of why the concept exists. We need a financial tool outside of the control of banks.

(Yada yada Ethereum and proof of stake.)
