This is messed up. Why should payment processors be the arbiter of what is "morally acceptable" ???
Genuinely worrying political implications where this will lead in the future.
Viewing post in The Censorship of NSFW Titles is Disgusting
Visa, Mastercard, Discovery, JCB and Paypal have been harassed by WASP Karens in Australia in to screwing over NSFW and LGBTQ+ content under the "tHiNk Of ThE cHiLdReN!1" moral panic.
Is it shitty that Itch has delisted NSFW games from search? Sure, but they're stuck in a no-win scenario of either keeping the NSFW games searchable (and *you* as the searcher have to jump through hoops to allow NSFW material to show, but Karens don't care) and get cut off from being able to take payments from credit cards and Paypal, or remove those search results and be "allowed" to accept payments from card and Paypal and pay content creators.
