Lol, I'd like to see Visa and MC buildings overrun by groups of multicoloured cartoony animals.
Furries are also a part of the phoning campaign, I've seen it all over my bsky timeline. We're (the sane ones, not the 18 year old puritans) all pretty upset over it because it's pretty obvious this is yet another attempt to erase queerness online with the veneer of "protect kids" or whatever the fuck they're saying now.

Knowing the furries, we probably have agents in every one of those corporate data centers already. XD

I feel this situation is only going to get worse for everyone. We as consumers, gamers or otherwise, don't really have alternatives to this monopoly. At least that I am aware of. Typically if a company acts up we can just boycott it. But what other options do we even have here?

So in other words, gamers are rising up?
they are naruto walking, converging on mastercard HQ

I feel like it took much less for them to make the decision to take it away than it is to just restore it...

I've read through a few of these now, and I still can't figure out what the source/evidence is that has convinced people that visa and MasterCard are responsible for this. That seems to me like a pretty critical detail, but noone has mentioned it.

Duopoly, but yeah.

The literal rule change they made that caused this explicitly states you have to follow payment processor guidelines:
Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers.
They also basically cofirmed this was brought up by the payment processors.

I mean, yeah, that’s definitely a part of them.
Furries have felt their entire identity targeted, even the sex stuff set aside. A bit like the drag queen attacks.

Should try selling artwork and then give away a copy of a game to customers. You can't sell the game so might as well include it as a gift.

Bummer, my computer hasn't had one of these in quite some time.

As a joking/ not so joking reference to the title. I unironically hope that this new wave of censorship attracts the ire of the Furry community. I can just see thousands and thousands of IT workers spending their spare time and money on fighting this shit instead of spending it on their hobby. I can see the potentially unlimited power.
