Why do you think payment processors are restricting their policy to exclude pornographic content?
-
They're probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it's to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they're unimpeded. I'm just looking for a solid motive
This has been happening quietly for a long time. It exploded now because it crept into new segments like Steam. That is mostly driven by a few conservative groups applying pressure to credit card processors.
You won't find porn sites with certain content; in particular, blood or scat play. Now, neither one is to my personal liking, but I don't think it should be blocked as long as everyone involved consents. You might find amateur videos of it, but never anything from a professional studio. That is quite simply because credit card processors forbid it.
(My source is one of the interviews that Kink.com does before a scene, which they always leave in the edit they post to their pay site. I'd have to search a lot to find the specific one. Suffice it to say that one of the models mentioned "no scat" as a hard limit, and the director said that their payment processor wouldn't allow it, anyway.)
It's also impossible to remake the old Taboo series as is. Faux-incest scenes go out of their way to mention they're all a step family (seriously, how many step children does Cory Chase have? This doesn't seem physically possible.) This is all credit card industry pressure, as well, and while I wish the genre wasn't as prevalent as it is, the setup dialog gets really silly and contorted because of this restriction.

Project 2025. They literally bragged about the shit they wanted to do while claiming they had nothing to do with it.
It baffles me that people are surprised this is happening, but a large majority of the voting population either doesn't care or are ok with this.
Let’s all start sending pictures of our sweaty ass cracks and balls to the senators behind this.

wrote last edited by [email protected]If you’ve actually been paying attention you’d see that basically the only government in the world that is NOT taking part in all this censorship and mass surveillance is the very government you’re blaming for this.
If anything, the only hope to stop these payment processors from going even more authoritarian is the current US government. Currently all of the “progressive” and “liberal” governments worldwide are all aboard the censorship and control train. The US is the outlier.
I’m against censorship in all forms, but geez the games that have been removed….. their creators and the people that buy and enjoy those games are 99.9% sure to be rock spiders. If a game breaks the law then ban it and prosecute, but if not then leave them alone no matter how deprave and sick they are.

It's all in in black and white in Project 2025.
Ban porn > Categorize LGBT as Porn > LGBT is crime > LGBT in prison
Religious zealots and bigots were given the reigns. This is what we get.
Regarding payment processing specifically, they are under direct pressure from religious lobbyists and are folding like a cheap suit.
Which side of the political spectrum are currently forcing age verification all over the internet, especially on porn sites - conservatives or “progressives”? Hint: it’s not who you’re saying it is.
You guys need to move on from the project 2025 rubbish - no one bought it before the election, and still banging on about it only harms the democrats already in-the-toilet credibility.
In the USA Porn isn’t banned, being gay isn’t “classified as porn” (whatever that means, it makes no sense). Still haven’t seen those concentration and death camps you’ve been yapping about for years either
The “progressive left” are the ones on their way to criminalising porn. Have a look at what’s going on in the UK under their increasingly far left government for a glimpse at what the party you support wants.

If you read Project 2025 you would find that literally on Page 1 they equate pornography with "the spread of transgenderism and drag queens" and claim that all of the above are "invading their school libraries" so all further references to combating "pornography" in the text also means transgender people.
You can read it for yourself here and I strongly advise you to do so to stay informed. The enemy has laid bare every single one of their tactics and remaining ignorant to it is irresponsible.
You’re intentionally misrepresenting what it says, what a surprise.
That sentence is in reference to the “pornographic” transgender-advocate book in schools that have extremely graphic pictures and descriptions about things like “sucking girl dick” and so on. It’s not equating pornography with transgenderism at all.

A certain section of society watched The Handmaid's Tale (they wouldn't read it because books are bad) and thought: "yes please, let's have some of that thank you very much" this is the thin end of the wedge.
Which section is that, the one that wants to take away women’s rights by letting males into their spaces, and who constantly award women of the year awards and women’s representative spots to males?
-
I just assume every conservative politician is a pedophile. They protect and defend them, so they're already as low as they can go.
Did the democrats release the Epstein list and put everyone on it in jail while they were in power for 4 years after he died?
Why not?

Soon porn and masturbation will be crimes.
Punishable by life sentences to slavery.
There’s about to be a huge chunk of generations that won’t watch porn or masturbate because they have no sexual function whatsoever thanks to being chemically castrated voluntarily.
Maybe that was the play all along? Remove the audience so porn disappears.

I feel like one huge thing that’s been missed in here in all this outrage is that it wasn’t just “porn games” that were removed from sale - they were, from what I saw, extreme and sick ones like “rape simulators”, “incest simulators”, and pedophile sex games, where you seduce and rape young children……..
As someone against censorship in all forms I disagree with what they’ve done, but as a rational person….. if there was ever something that should be censored (or made illegal more like it), it’s probably this.

So you'd actually be OK with a christofascist dictatorship as long as people you don't like get oppressed as well? Cool.

Amazing since most of em molest little kids.

Kind of an odd stance for someone who calls themselves "freedom advocate"

Who the fuck are you to say shit about what people buy.
Should all movies be censored that you don't like? There are rape movies. There are incest movies. -

The US (more specifically Project 2025) is a huge driving force in this, they're just domestically focused on the "make America white again" stage of their plans to return to a nuclear family, but that won't stop them using their lobbying powers, or control over tech monopolies to strongarm other countries into submission.

The conservatives introduced the online safety act. Labour enforced it, but labour haven't been a progressive party in the UK for decades.
"Increasingly far left government", tell me you know absolutely nothing about the subject, without saying you know absolutely nothing about the subject.

How in the world did you get that from my comment?

What is? Saying I disagree with it the games being censored and removed from sale? Or that “games” that simulate incest, pedos, and rape are disgusting?

Project 2025 hasn’t got anything to do with anything happening in America. The longer you guys try to pretend it is, the less support the democrats are going to have.

why do you think I give a shit if the democrats have support? I can point to fascism from the current gov without supporting the limp dicked opposition. Stop treating politics like a sports event, it's embarrassing.
