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.
Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship
Gsus4@mander.xyz 3 weeks agoEveryone 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.

It’s somebody else’s problem.

Comparing blocking payment to wikileaks and blocking payment for porn video games is absurd. Is nuance dead?

It’s the slowly boiling water, mate. You think governments give a fuck whether some neckbeards play incest video games in their mum’s basement? It’s about power and expanding the reach of what they can monitor and control. One day it’s porn games the next day it’s books. It’s a tiny step towards a more and more authoritarian world.

This has nothing to do with government, its a business decision. How do you make sense of anything you just posted?
KumaSudosa@feddit.dk 3 weeks ago
It’s not just a “business decision”. It’s about control and they’re connected. You’re naive if you don’t see the bigger picture

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