There's a page with a dossie on the whole situation:

Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Payment Processors to STOP

TELL VISA, MASTERCARD, STRIPE, and PayPal to STOP

These people wont stop after porn games, they will target violence and nudity as well. Art itself could be compromised. The situation gives unparalled precedent for censorship.

They start with porn, then they go after violent games with nudity like Cyberpunk 2077, GTA 6, and then they will go after everything else that don't abide by their 'christian values'.

Every slightest offensive game, movie, hentai, manga is at risk of being targeted.

Honestly, the world should jusy adopt Brazilian payment methods

Good the world is trashy enough as it is

Playing Devil's Advocate, if you believe in a free-market system, then payment processors should be able to decide which companies they do business with. You shouldn't be able to force them to process payments from companies they don't want to work with.

Absolutely right. Which is why they must be circumvented with decentralized tools.

Beware those who hide behind the moto of "Think of the children!", for they sow the seeds of your destruction.

I also probably don't want them even thinking of any children.

That's all fine and dandy, until the effective duopoly of Visa and Mastercard decide they don't want competition.

Not to mention the amount of capital any competitors need.

Visa/MC have already been lobbying the US government to start messing with Pix.

So profound.

People with no children might think so anyway. Wankers.
