    I wish that was the case. It's mostly just extreme right lobbying groups like Focus on the Family and the Alliance Defending Freedom, the same groups that control the far right, exert colonial control over impoverished African countries, and generally make the world a worse place for everyone. The same groups that manufactured cases to screw up Dobbs, Wedding cake lawsuits, and death penalty laws for LGBTQ citizens of Uganda.

    Do you have proof of this? Capitalism doesn’t know any sort of morality or ideology other than that which allows it to extract the most value

        If the US used something like pix, MasterCard, visa, etc wouldn't have any power to do this, but they are wanting to make Brazil delete pix from existing. Interesting.

          Payment processors should not be allowed to dictate what content they allow to be bought and what not. It's not their job to police people, let me live ffs

          Agreed. If it's not illegal then it should be allowed. Not that I approve of this type of content, but corporations should not be selectively enforcing their morals.

            I wouldn't really care if Steam decided to crack down on porn games, its their store. Payment processors being the ones to force Valve's hands simply doesn't sit right.

              Why shouldn't the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs? Steam could pursue other payment processing possibilities instead of acquiescing to their demands.

              > Why shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs? Because they hold an effective monopoly over the payment process.

                It's been like this for a while in the porn industry. In an interview a while back, Bree Mills says she gets more limited by payment processors than the government (though that might be switching). Ever wonder why every faux-incest video goes out of the way to say everyone is a step family? Step father, step daughter, step mother, step brother, all somehow living in the same house, over 18, and no blood relation? The first amendment protects them from the US government, so that's not why. Credit card companies are why. The old Taboo series was distributed differently back in the day. Can't make that anymore. This also applies to some of the more extreme BDSM stuff, like blood play or scat. Won't find them on kink.com.

What other fucking payment card acceptance system are you going to use for payment processing in under 30 seconds? >Why shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process Because it's none of their business what I buy. If a store is a reputable business that isn't defrauding me, and are a legal entity, then whatever they sell to me or I buy from them should only matter to me and the seller. >Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs? So half the market can get nuked once the CEO decides whatever faith du jour they have disallows whatever?

                        It's porn. We can focus on more important things billionaires are ruining.

                        Sweet summer child. Porn is the reason we have VHS, porn is the reason we have the internet, porn was doing video streaming before Netflix and YouTube. Porn is one of the greatest motivating forces in this world.

                          What if these payment processors have decided it's bad business for them to process payments for incest porn games?

                          🙄 On what grounds would doing so operationally impair the platform? Is it illegal? Does it prevent them from servicing other businesses in a timely fashion? Does it cost more money in a way that can't be reflected in the service fee structure? Explain to me what reason they would have for objecting that isn't just a different way of phrasing "morality judgment" or "image management". Do you also think that a shipping company should be able to refuse to ship products from businesses they don't approve of, even if it's functionally identical to something else they would ship? What about either of those companies refusing service to someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity? People used to say it's bad business to service gays, blacks, Jews, Catholics, Hispanics and the Irish. At some point we decided that businesses need to shut the fuck up and just do business without judging, or else their service has no place in society. The free market that businesses love so much exists entirely through the grace and in the service of society at large. If they fail to at least not harm society, why should society extend that courtesy to them?

                            You should work on learning how to handle those feelings. Most people just ignore it when other people do stuff they think is gross if it's not hurting anyone. For example, I think egg salad is pretty gross. I manage this in my day to day life by "not buying egg salad", and if I run into it I usually just "move along quickly", or say "oh, no thank you". I doubt people are as pushy with furry porn as they are with egg salad, unless you and I live in shockingly different worlds.

                                  When did you decide your sexuality? Did you decide what sex you're attracted to? No you didn't. If that where the case, anyone could change at any time they wanted. Ask Turing how that went for him. Or any other homosexual through the ages.

                                  Thank you for proving my point. Sexuality is not a decision, and that doesn't stop at what gender(s) you're attracted to.

                                    I don't know. Visa and MasterCard did for 20 years, so maybe. I don't really care either way. I'm not going to judge people who play "Interactive Sex - Daddy Daughter Incest Volume 4" but I'm not going to go to bat for them either. I can think of way better hills to die on.

                                        sure, we're both on the same page, but pointing out non-alternative alternatives isn't exactly a contribution to a discussion.

                                          As a form of protest, we should all start scooping up incest porn games.
