Here's something I don't get. Why don't itch just disable payments/donations for the adult games? The only thing that the idiot credit card companies are doing is just stopping them from getting payments. They can't stop itch for at least having the free or demos games for people. Besides, the credit card companies doen't have the right to tell us what we can or can't buy with our own money. I heard this all started cause some one used AI to make a fake child porn video and uploaded it to Pornhub.

They already did when it comes to Stripe.
But Stripe (middleman between itch and visa/cc) officially doesn't support using Stripe for places with adult content at all, and now they're like "if you have anything to do with adult content, we potentially don't want anything to do with you anymore".
So just not allowing payments isn't enough for them anymore, they'd ideally want itch to drop adult content entirely, even the free stuff, to not be associated with it.
Paypal isn't much better, they want as little adult content as possible in this place and officially only tolerate adult content where it's a game with gameplay first and adult content second, plus all these other content limitations.
Of course, Paypal obviously made some exceptions for Valve and Patreon, but those are making MUCH more money than itch and probably could afford special deals.
