When visa and other payment processors wield far too much market share power and can bully platforms to take away consumer choice.
Ain't capitalism great?
Profit is the point, not us. Never us.
Sure, you can reduce the issue to something as simple as 'let us have our porn you censor happy, greedy, cowardly fucks!', but it's not necessarily about that. Well, not 'just' that, bc it partly is, let's not get things twisted.
But the real issue is, like I said above, outside entities who have no business other than to literally process payments for the consumer, who, in theory, should be the ones in charge, dictating what's on the market and what choices consumers can make about it.
I mean, you also have morally 'holier than thou' 'activists' too, but... let's be real. Self harm is something humans LOVE before wondering why they're bleeding so bad even as they keep hurting themselves.
You'd think ppl would've learned that fiction is fiction and is perfectly healthy and a good way to keep ppl from doing the crazy shit weirdos are forever screaming about... but... we never fucking learn... Or rather, we have the collective attention span of goldfish and can rationalize anything to avoid taking accountability or blame something else.
Itch doesn't care about its customers or creators, at least not more than its own hide. It's that simple.
It'll keep sucking off visa with a smile on its face until its stomach gets inflated before asking 'please sir, can I have some more?'
