  Well considering GOP reps are getting 500:1 call ratio on the Epstein files people DO care this much.

  It’s possible to care about multiple things at once.

    People care far more about the epstein files, its absurd to compare the two.

  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.

    I’d just like to point out that you seem opposed to activists bombarding a company to change its policy, but are fighting this by gathering activists to bombard a company to change its policy.

    What’s changing here?

      Wait what?

      Are you sure you responded to the right comment because I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m not opposed to bombarding any company.

      The situation, where public lobbying for morality alone is capable of causing wide unilateral cultural censorship, is the issue that has arose. Correcting that situation by rising to the tools by which the puritans are attempting to force their backwards morality onto society is a reaction, not the root cause. It’s pretty clearly different.

        Not sure I’d call preventing abuse as backwards mentality. Maybe a lack of morality?

  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.
