can I add this act that was just introduced this year on Congress.gov that might help?  maybe send this to people in your state's gov that could look into this as something to pass or push for?

also dose anyone think that maybe Itchio might want to make a points like system that is used on another site called DL-site with their DL Gift Card from forbooks? I feel like that if the gov is not gonna do anything, we should at least create a work around for this problem. 

you can disagree with me if you want but I am currently writing out an idea for the latter part because I am willing to pay with points if that can help the site not be dependent on payment processors and merchants.

Its rather suspicious that its 43 cosponsors are all republican though, given their side are the ones pushing this, to begin with. I dont trust they dont have an ulterior motive, or that they wouldn't subtly exclude nsfw content from it, especially given it seems aimed heavily at firearms, crypto, fossil fuel, and religious businesses

The ulterior motive is this sort of payment neutrality also means hate groups can't be blocked by payment processors unless the actively do illegal shit. 


You kinda have to make that judgement call if you think that's an acceptable cost for keeping porn from being censored. 

Of course, there's nothing stopping these payment processors from continuing to ban porn while allowing hate groups to exchange funds as tolerating hate has recently become more popular. It's entirely their whim we're up to. 


It's a shitty situation to make a choice on, but personally I don't like all of this being subject to the whims of private companies who can be swayed by a thousand weirdos. That's just madness making.

The extreme left wants to take our guns and the extreme right want to take our porn. I'll smack a bitch with a sword but give me my porn games damn it.

I've been called far left before and its odd because I support the right to bear arms and similar items. I also agree with some of the United States of America's founding fathers in that "No book, no matter how aggregious, should be banned"  I guess people see what they want to see.

Personally I feel that an adult should be able to read erotic fiction or play erotic games. Maybe its time to go after these censorship groups. I'm sure the skeletons in their closet are pretty bad.

It isn't just born, that's the problem. They went after games like Detroit and GTA. By their labels, games like Silent Hill can also be blocked from purchase. NSFW covers MULTIPLE topics, not just sexual.

One of the issues is that it covers no-/low-risk purchases and erotica has always been considered high-risk - it may not require payment processors to cover adult content.
