Itch.io finally has a statement and it's lukewarm like you'd expect.

I have written too many words tonight on this topic and simply will say this: Patreon is next, expect Furaffinity's revenue stream via FA+ to be on the eventual chopping block.

The US Congress is going to try to push a federal bill that will change the definitions of "Obscene Content", turning the internet which depends upon US information infrastructure and US Companies into a hellscape of mass purging of queer content.

I have said, since 2023, that this would be coming. I have maintained that the US holds a lot of leverage over the internet and for good reason, and shitty little children every time I have tried to post about this outside of my spaces have always barked back with "that's bad for business" and no, it fucking isn't. You don't get it.

VISA and MasterCard are mandated as the final arbitrators of almost all Electronic Commerce on this planet that matters for substantial revenue generation. This is because of the SWIFT International Banking System, of which those two sit at the top wielding their power for profit generation and lending it to US Social Conservatives to damage queer expression and sex positive discourse so-as to fit their Theocratic agenda.

We know this as Project 2025, but in 2017 it was called Project Blitz. Blitz largely failed overall, but look at today's environment. E621.net is going to have to move states pretty soon because of Arizona's ID Law; Patreon implemented ID Checking despite their vast sum of banking information being entirely sufficient to identify individuals doing business with them, and now the entire global adult industry is looking to Steam and Itch.io and going "welp" because both immediately caved and began pruning their content of "Obscene" materials.

This is it. This is what I said when I said we would be wiped off the fucking internet, this is the attack vector. I wrote about it in 2023, I've complained about it with each little step, it has not been abrupt insofar as the escalation, only the impact on each individual target.

Notice the pattern. Like a light switch, they just flip your platform off.
