Visa and Mastercard have seemingly pressured Valve into changing its content policy; porn now under unspecified restrictions. Anonymous 07/16/2025 (Wed) 10:29:14 Id: c908fe No. 1567443
A new rule was added to Steam's publishing documentation. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding >15. 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. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content. There is actually a bill in Congress, with significant momentum (43 out of 100 senators co-sponsored. 50 needed to pass, 60 needed to get the vote to happen.), that would stop this shit. It has that momentum mostly because it's a general anti-debanking bill and after seeing Trump's bank drop him despite how fiduciaryily stupid it was Congress realizes they're going to be hit with it eventually. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401 https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987 If you're an American you can call your legislative official and demand either (as applicable) >they add their name to the co-sponsor >it come to a vote and that it be amended to strengthen the prohibitions on "payment card networks" as they're weaker than the other sections (only banning "political or reputational risk considerations", which could easily be construed either way on porn or guns, a weakness at odds with the introduction.). To find your legislators https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative For calling, you want to have your name (ideally just give the NATO Phonetic alphabet spelling after it without prompting*.), zip code, return phone number, and the bill number (S401 for Senate or HR987 for House). I've been given conflicting claims on if the local office or DC office should be called, but as far as I can tell for just "support this bill" the best is whichever one has a human pick up the phone (an actual meeting is local office). *Realizing I can just say the phonetic spelling unprompted after being asked for my name on any phone call (not just political calls) and not have to wait to be asked to spell it then awkwardly go back and forth for them to get my name correct makes it something I genuinely wish I had learned to do decades earlier. ... Why the hell should payment processors be setting moral standards? Governments need to get these two under fucking control, money middle men should not have this kind of power.

>>1607729 >people
>>1607567 >>1607729 It's a bunch of little barely past sperm cells who look at the old days of Anons making fun of wapanese faggots back in 2008-2012 without the context behind it so their Gen Alpha monkey brains just thinks it's "Anime bad" and go from there.
>>1607235 That's why I said "inconsistently banned if they don't like it" over at >>1599282 - the policy is used more as a weapon by mods with a bug up their nigger ass.
>>1607584 I've seen a lot of people pointing out that you can use cartoon/video game characters to bypass the check in Europe and UK, which means the AI is probably going to be deployed on anime and video games as well. So even if your character in the game is 18+, the credit card company will say >Our AI says she looks 16, ADD THE NASOLABIAL LINES NOW
How can there be people who genuinely think that anime causes you to transition? This is just stupid.
>>1608191 It's stupid. I watched Ranma 1/2 as a kid and used to pretend I could turn into a girl but I'm still a man and know I'm a man and I have no desire to change that. Fantasy will never be reality.
>>1608198 I have a friend that was manipulated to think he is trans because of something similar by his tranny "friend" and of course his retard psychiatrist
>>1608199 And no i'm not claiming anime did anything just that it can be used by sick fucks into manipulating others views
Remember when SJW's where the ones pushing for censorship and siding with corporations, when everyone normal called them useful idiots and told them that corporations are NOT their fucking friends? It appears rightoids are doing this too. Some could be Shartyfags: Newfag zoomers who want to mimic certain subcultures without truly understanding them. Only a huge newfag could celebrate censorship while posting in an imageboard site of all places. But if anyone going "based companies, fuck those gooners" was present during Gamergate: You're a huge fucking faggot and also still getting fucked. First, you forgot your goal was "make sure SJW's don't censor Japanese games" and chances are your interest in politics started in 2014 anyway. You forgot that in favor of "owning my enemy". Second, if these corporations get rid of porn on the internet, you think they won't go after you too? Think of all of these companies that love acting woke to pander to SJW's: You think they won't go after edgyfags shouting the word "nigger" and are even pro-Trump, in an age where celebrities and companies shit on Trump for the sake of good PR image? You're in the chopping block too, retard. Keep telling troons "you lost to this" all you want: You lost too. A world without pornography is also a world without anyone acting edgy online and saying words like "nigger" or "faggot". You built your own grave and even fell in the same fucking traps as the SJW's from a decade ago: You BECAME the SJW and ended up proving centristfags a fucking point. If you're ever gonna get upset that you can't say "nigger" online anymore, you made your own bed. Turns out nobody loves their Jewish masters more than rightoids. Nobody has principles anymore which I guess is what happens when you treat politics as a "have to be left or right" thing to begin with. Fascinating that people online want to pretend Gamergate never happened when it might as well be a key element to our current situation. No fucking wonder people love remakes nowadays: They love rewriting history more than revisiting it. Nigger cattle, even "nigger haters".
>>1608198 >>1608199 My theory for trannies among weeb communities is because a large portion of leftoids are victims of Troll's Remorse. So they got into retarded gender politics to "grow up" (Another factor to troll's remorse is the internet becoming more widespread and used by normies; Leftyfags worry too much about what normies think of them, hence meme phrases like "having a normal one?"). They went from "anime is cancer, 2 nukes not enough" to either: >This anime is good but the creepy gooner lolishit can go >This anime is why I'm trans Or >Japan is exist, look up women only trains and Junko Furuta Another good example is how they talk about furries, going from: >YIFF IN HELL FURGAGS To pretending furries are an inherent LGBT culture piece. Otherwise, they could still be against furries but with a narrative of: >Chuds are so racist, they would rather fuck animals than a black woman Politics are "big boy topics" and are the first thing someone latches on, if they want to look mature online. Even though goons from SomethingAwful are still failed manchildren part of the Millenial sect that uses terms like "adulting". This is also why "media literacy" exists: Suddenly in like 2018 or whatever do people worry about the "true message" of Gundam or MGS or whatever. When people in their 30's were already into those at that age beforehand and weren't whining about people "not getting it".
>>1608230 There is a reason i detached myself, left,center,right and all their ideologies are worthless to me. I just want my vidyas to be free,my animes to be free,my anonymity to be there
>>1608250 >>1608230 Also to clarify: I don't give a shit if you go "I FUCKING HATE NIGGERS". You deserve to say whatever you want under free speech. My point was: If one does that and still goes "so glad porn is getting banned just to see those troons seethe", then that kind of guy deserves to get fucked for what still counts as a kind of hypocrisy. Because a lot of arguements in favor of censorship revolve around "normalcy": If normies feel alienated by a Playboy magazine or a drawing of an anime girl, they would feel the same at racism too. We're in a website that allows so many things that are otherwise "nono" elsewhere.
>>1607500 I'm going to mail XRP and BTC at the local post office.
>>1608093 Steam's already kinda been doing that already. Nintendo, too.
>>1608517 When are we banning short people and flat chested woman irl
>>1607567 Troons infected everything was one of the worst things to happen in recent history. >>1608249 The trend of people becoming sjws with more recently tradlarpers and centrists, is pretty much Troll's Remorse to the T.
>>1608230 >useful idiots No, anon. SJWs do genuinely want that content to be destroyed, they're not useful idiots, they're fully aligned with the program. Actually, everyone wants to destroy their opposition's entire ideals and ban them, it's a simple tactic to curb their growth and secure power. No opposition if you destroy its roots, right? You'll notice this trend in varying degrees in pretty much... all philosophies and groups, really. It takes real effort to allow your opposition the chance to grow by itself, an intellectual humility that most people simply cannot reach because they're literally too dumb to envision a world where they're wrong to then outgrow it. Still, what you SHOULD be pointing out is how the narrative push that brought all of this in into attention was unnatural as fuck, and obviously concerted to cause strife between people while your money is whisked away. That's the real goal of this shit, to keep all sides distracted and figuratively on each others throats.
>>1608524 I heard that women under the height of consent are already banned in australia.
>>1608523 >everyone I don't like is a chud

>>1608230 When the left held all the cultural power, it was them who were instigating most of the censorship. Now that the pendulum is starting to swing, you're going to be seeing a lot more right wing pushes for censorship, and they're going to use the exact same moralizing argumentation that the left uses. People are already starting to defend Nazi bookburnings because the books they burned were "degenerate". That's going to be the stance a lot of right wingers take towards censorship moving forward, state-sponsored or otherwise. Just look at how vehemently opposed they are towards lolis, for example. >>1608587 This is also correct. Divide and conquer has been used to control people since classical antiquity.
>>1608729 >People are already starting to defend Nazi bookburnings because the books they burned were "degenerate" Please don't tell me we're going to have to defend trannies "in the name of freedom, bro."
>>1608858 I'm afraid we might. I hate NTRfags and I wish they would die, but the government wants to do it in a really gay manner that I don't agree with. And if there's one thing that I hate more than cuck porn is government overreach.

>>1608858 Hating trannies is fine. Thinking they (or anyone) should be censored is not. I think everyone is entitled to free speech, and I oppose all forms of censorship or any other attempt to silence anyone for exercising their right to freedom of expression. I'm just aware that both sides are willing to support censorship when it helps fulfill their goals, and anyone who truly supports free speech needs to be made acutely aware of that fact.
>>1608888 As long as we can answer their free speech with "You will never be a real woman" and telling them how retarded chopping kid's dicks off and pumping them full of chemicals is. (and as much as censorship is gay when the US does it, I still think Hitler burning Magnus Hirschfeld's "research" was a net benefit to mankind.)
Reports are coming in that the "Fear and Hunger" games have been taken down. I just checked steam, the first one looks like it's already been delisted, I can still see the second game though. I think the game was preemptively banned or locked out from Germany and France, so it seems like this is just more of the same banwave going through everything
>>1608949 It's here for me, and I'm not in Europe and the US. Might be regional.
>>1608949 It's still up in the USA
>>1609006 >>1608958 Very strange, this morning I could only see the second game... Maybe a glitch
>>1608931 >As long as we can answer their free speech with "You will never be a real woman" and telling them how retarded chopping kid's dicks off and pumping them full of chemicals is. That is exactly the point, correct.
>>1608949 US. Still there, but is age restricted and requires login to see.
Checked the Foxdicks thread on this again and it seems like a few of them are starting to push back on the idea that loli or other taboo fiction should be banned.
>>1609353 Well that's good to see. Now if they'd only put as much effort trying to take down Collective Shout and protesting payment processors as they did spamming imageboards and bullying artist over the past several years then they could begin their redemption arc.
>>1609360 > spamming imageboards and bullying artist over the past several years Any proof that KF specifically did this? I don't recall anything like that.
>>1609382 Honestly think it's been several sub groups or autist through KF rather than KF proper. They definitely did nurse the sentiment that allowed it to fester though.
Thread is about to be locked due to post limit. Please, make a continuation thread on the issue with a well thought out OP so we can make that one cyclical while we archive this one.
New thread till shit is resolved. Cycled for now >>1609395
