Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

"What about" is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You're doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You're making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in...

Yeah they're starting with something that hit close to home without feeling like they'll get disappeared or ignored.

Protesting against christofascists in the government isn't mutually exclusive with protesting a christofascist censorship organization. You can protest two things at once, you know.

But how can I be expected to sign the SKG petition, while people in West Sahara live under Morocco’s unjust occupation?

World peace, end hunger are not entertaining as "How to get an A from your professor - sorority/fraternity party edition" (coming to iOS and Android).

You have underestimated the power of porn games.

Because Visa and MasterCard might actually change their minds. They are a business and they don't want this shit if it becomes more annoying to deal with gamers than it is to deal with random whiny Australians they'll reverse their decision.

Trump on the other hand is made of his mind and that's the end of it. Obviously you should still continue to complain because it's hilarious how upset he gets about it, but that list is never seeing the light of day until he's out of office, one way or another.

That's also why in the middle of the previous century propaganda was mostly aimed at women. That's killing two birds with one stone.

There's always a gap between "Someone should do something about this" and "I should do something about this".

Once that line gets crossed, plans like OP's post start.

I like the story but hate the fact it's all in separate tweets.

If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it's gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community

They just wasted your time too with their strung out story. They're in too deep!

you can probably use the tts tools from hume.ai

It’s impressive how much people get riled up about not getting porn.
I don’t blame them but I also don’t see this as activism, I doubt anyone really spending the time on this cares about possible future censorship that others who are not them may face, they just want to buy their porn.

• UK would like to disagree.
• France would like to disagree.

This is not about the porn. If you think about it for more than 3 seconds it becomes obvious how this is about the power finance institutions have over morals and society and how religious groups leverage moral panics as a way to weasel in harm and destroy minorities by associating immorality with marginalized groups. Just like pro-life anti choice has nothing to do with saving children, but is about hurting women and controlling their uteruses. Terfism has nothing to do with feminism but is about hurting trans people. Drug wars weren't about protecting the youth but about destroying the rights of Hispanic and black communities. And a long list of etcéteras.

This is about defending fundamental rights that will get trampled under the guise of moral and religious righteousness. It's about power and control. Porn is just the scapegoat. Several LGBTQ+ games were also hit, many which didn't even have anything to do with sex, just because of this incident. That's how it begins and it was completely intentional, the cruelty is the point.

Lol I'm on the visa line with Visa now, they have a prepared statement about this.

They are trying to say they only ever block purchases unless it's illegal.

They explicitly said they DO NOT moderate purchases unless it is illegal multiple times. I kept challenging her and saying it's not illegal, yet they moderate, but she told me she can only read the prepared statement and repeated it multiple times. She then told me I would have to email them to "share my perspective" and then hung up on me.

Getting downvoted for wanting people to advocate for better living conditions, way to go .world!

Our priorities are showing.

I love how facts are just rendered to perspectives now.
