The rabbit hole actually goes deeper.

Apparently the people doing this type of pressuring on the credit card companies are anti-furries, TERFs, and other right-wing anti-porn think tanks, with a possible goal to erase all queer or pornographic content off the internet.
Weird fucks, uncomfortable in their own skin so now they can't handle others just living their life their way
They are uncomfortable in their own skin, so they are mad at other people who, (also uncomfortable) choose to download another skin
And that's why I fight for this sort of content despite personally finding it disgusting.
Yeah, as much as I absolutely hate people who draw/write incest and pedophilia on a fetishistic manner I know it's just the first step to banning any other type of porn.
Those people should probably tag their shit, tho. Furries who are into incest are extremely bad about this.
This is the only way they can stop themselves from buying the games.
how does one “pressure” credit card companies to that extent?
also just because a group claims responsibility doesn’t mean they actually had anything to do with it.
Lobbying, I'd imagine.
Shareholders can vote on the executive positions so they pressure the CEO to do what they want.
not even "possible goal". that IS the goal
I don’t understand. Why do Visa and Mastercard care? What do people buy porn subscriptions with?
Basically there's been right wing/terf/anti-furry think tanks lobbying those companies to stop offering services to anyone involved with porn. Their entire ideology is "perverted nerds are causing the downfall of western society".
Well I sure wish they'd do it faster, it's taking forever
Wank faster, my tax report is due!
Rip ladykiller in a bind. I'm glad I have it in my library already.
It's very bad news. Banks can fk themselves.
Whatever one thinks of this, I think we can all agree that it's a bit imprecise to be calling these games "adult". Witcher 3 is "adult". Furry Hitler Incest Goblin Lolifuckers 3 is... something else.
Pure art?
Is that RWBY porn in the thumbnail?
