If you are an American, please sign this petition to stop VISA and Mastercard censoring what adults should buy.

Yes, it doesn't guarantee much, but it's a good bet to place. The duopoly system shouldn't decide what we should buy, based on an arbitrary decision from a puritan organization.

If you live in the united states you should contact your representative about the fair access to banking act senate bill 401 to restrict mastercard and visas ability to restrict purchases over social or political reasons

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401/text

The bill's efficacy seems limited and mostly seems to enable things like companies trying to drill for oil in nature reserves. Still, it's potentially something. For those in the USA, there's also this: https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy

Enough signatures can potentially get the ACLU lawyers on their asses for this. Others may find this site helpful: https://stop-paypros.neocities.org

Consider also contacting the companies to complain directly and put pressure on them.  I've got the US links to their support here.

https://usa.visa.com/Forms/contact-us-form.html

https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/personal/get-support/ask-mastercard.html

Phone numbers to call them with here:

Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 

Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 

Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 

Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 

PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

If you're in the US, when you call them, inform them that you either will or are considering putting in a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it adds more pressure: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint

I'm trying to get in contact with other indie devs to come up with a community solution to this problem. I have no way of contacting the dev. If you could contact them and give them my discord is firstrockstudios.
