So this person fucked with Kirsche and then later got fucked with by VICE?
yup He's too insane even for VICE when you obsess over Right-Wing VTuber fans you are a liability to VICE in terms of PR, at this point he should hang himself because I doubt he's finding employment elsewhere, but he should already do that anyway
 
So hes also back on Blusky? do they know or care he wont stop whining about them on Twitter? He doesnt hide it.
I don't pay attention to what he's doing on Twitter. I got way too much material from the Bluesky and I'll probably wind it down and just archive the profile page periodically.

Has anyone been able to figure out anything definitive as to the motivations of the processors? Puritan values? Population control? If you're going to say "the Jews" then kindly explain what they get out of it, because it just seems so nebulous.
The best explanation (for goonerpocalypse) is that they believe they are meeting legal requirements by screening out certain customers and content. Anything beyond that is a bit schizo and speculative.

Here's 1,200 pages of terms and conditions, maybe they can shed some light on this:

Debanking of Null/Farms is crazier, perhaps allegations by people like Vordrak stuck and have made him persona non grata, or businesses including payment processors take one look at the Wikipedia page (built externally by corrupt journos) and click the Kill button.

I think it's deeply ironic the only piece of real journalism about a real problem this troglodyte ever wrote is what gets him fired. Everything else was acceptable.
Calling a Vtuber a Nazi and posting your pedophilic rape fetishes online is okay until you call out Big Payment Processor. Really makes one thunk...

What I’ve heard is that gooners are likely to charge back porn purchases because of guilt which makes them a bad bet for the payment processors.
I don’t think that’s their whole motivation, but I do think it’s key.

They see how China literally debanks people to shun them out of society by banning people's WeChat accounts and their Social Credit Score system, and want to do the same to flex on people.

Jews, they are just control freaks and are doing this to spite chuds, also a lot of legislators are psychotic Evangelical Protestant Christians so its easy enough for Jews to sell that plan to them
 

Kirsche having boiler-plate american conservative opinions on immigration is so evil and objectionable that you need to try and literally ruin her career and turn her into a pariah, but the second biggest political streamer on the planet who shills for, interviews, and uses rape apologetics on behalf of literal violent terror organizations is not only completely fine to you, but so fine that him even mentioning you is something that makes you borderline euphoric?

Does EVERYONE who watches Piker want to fuck him, like what is this?
 
The United States Code has on the books laws against obscenity and lolicon. You can say that those things are unenforceable in court, despite existing on the books, but private companies are not the court. Therefore, the financial services will enforce US Federal Law as it is written
You posted a lot of stuff just to not know what you're talking about. As the law is written? It is specifically written that obscenity MUST be decided in court. You cannot declare something obscene categorically, nor can you use overly broad language. In Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, the supreme court had specifically ruled that "virtual child pornography" is protected speech, unless it is obscene:

"If speech is neither obscene nor child pornography, it is protected from attempts to categorically suppress child pornography even if it is related to it."

Lolicon is factually LEGAL in the US. There are no laws that make it illegal, categorically, and anything that COULD make it illegal MUST be decided in court. Considering lolicon is by far the most contentious content being censored, along with incest and rape, and that those things are also subject to the same protections as lolicon, it's safe to assume NONE of this is being done for legal reasons. At least, not in the US. This "legal" argument is entirely a red herring, and I question the integrity of anyone who makes such an argument.

Any follow-up questions, retard anime avatar nonce?

If you want to take a moment to re-read that paragraph I wrote, please do. I'll break it down even smaller for you.

The company is not the court. I AGREE WITH YOU that before a person have THEIR BUSINESS DESTROYED that it should be DECIDED BY THE COURT SYSTEM, but the problem is that the laws AS THEY ARE WRITTEN FOR THE FINANCIAL SERVICE COMPANIES creates STRICT LIABILITY any time they facilitate a crime, i.e. by allowing PEOPLE TO BUY AND SELL LOLICON AS DESCRIBED IN 18 U.S. Code § 1466A.

You could argue that 18 U.S. Code § 1466A is unconstitutional. Prevailing opinions are that it is. However, it is still a law in effect, and the law for FINANCIAL SERVICES (private companies) is that they must enforce the law AS IT IS WRITTEN, otherwise they risk the Federal Government crawling up their ass. So unless the FINANCIAL SERVICES want to sue to overturn their current legal status quo, then they will continue to enforce the law AS IT IS WRITTEN and you CAN NOT APPEAL because they are a PRIVATE COMPANY and NOT a COURT SYSTEM, which is why Ron Paul said they were "DEPUTIZED" to enforce the law despite not actually being a government entity.

And the funny thing is? If they wanted to, they can just ban lolicon independently. LOL. You don't get a say in it because they're a private company! Do you think that's a BAD THING? We agree!!! There should be no discretion given to the backbone of the world's consumer spending that allows them to do that!!!


If your next post isn't "I'm sorry for being a retard" I'm banning you btw.

This situation is the definition of this image. I don't like Valens and he's only doing this because he doesn't want his goon games to disappear but it's always good when someone unmasks who is actually behind this nonsense. An Australian organization pressuring payment processors into censoring US legal games on a US storefront is absurd.

It's weird as i hate the smut games, as some of them are VERY creepy, but they are taking away my ultra violence! If i am understanding this correctly "involuntary dismemberment" is also banned. But that's a feature of fallout 4, kenshi, 7 days to die and many other games. I don't want the payment processors to have the power that they do have. They are a cartel, one that wants to control your wallet.

I guarantee that rule is specifically targeted at guro games and even if there was wiggle room for other games to be subject to it, AAA games are never subject to the same rules as smaller games anyways (see TLoU 2 and its gross sex scene) so I wouldn't worry about it. Regardless, as gross as they were, they were all legal and Steam by default hides them. Payment processors should never be the ones dictating things like that being removed.
 
LOL I'm sure there was more to the story than just this.. hope it comes out. hahaha

Seriously though.. PPs/CCs/banks shouldn't have this kind of power. It was in all likelihood the CCs here, not the PPs. They are the ones behind all this kind of dangerous nonsense. And the banks behind them.
 
I fucking hate coomers, and their Trojan'ing upon "muh free speech" to protect vile shit. Pornography, in any form, shouldn't be grouped in with freedom-of-expression, that's super dangerous. That being said, however, PPs shouldn't be the ones to enforce a change like that, for the 10,000 reasons already stated here. The tyranny you cheer for will be used against you tomorrow, and all that. Steam/Itch.io should be removing lolicon, rape, incest, whateverthefuckelse, because it's immoral, illegal, and just fucking gross, not because big daddy Visa told them to.

I do not expect anything particularly impactful to arise from this, porn-addicts online will do what they do best, post porn and nothing else. They have already tainted the view for a lot of bystanders because of this, I do not expect the general populace to take this seriously.

No, the payment processors have wayyyyyy to much power. Remember dodge vs ford? where the supreme court ruled that the shareholders tell the company what to do? This is a crazy situation where you can completely de-platform an entire group of people by simply owning enough stock to be heard by the company. It's a very dangerous situation. They tried this shit with gun stores but i am not sure how far that got. Part of me feels that they are testing the waters with this so that they can set a precedence with other stuff.

Slippery slope is NOT a fallacy. the US common law is built on precedence, especially business law. Granted Valve could sue them over this and claim "they process OF and other adult content on other sites, why are they messing with us?" but i am not a lawyer just a guy who had some law in college, however i know enough to know this is the start of something bad.

ironically, you yourself have no idea what you're talking about and are blindly regurgitating talking points from pedophiles that are likely older than you are, and this is obvious to anyone who has even a cursory understanding of the biggest pieces of 1A legislation from the past two decades. i suggest taking an actual law class at a community college if you truly want to commit to this lunacy, at least you wouldn't make yourself look like an idiot pedo foaming at the mouth bc time didn't magically stop after 1996.

the reason that free speech protections applied to obscene content in the first place is because litigating the internet in the 90s was (and still is really) an absolute nightmare because there's zero precedent for media that's so immediately accessible even compared to TV/radio, the latter of which was heavily FCC regulated bc of an actual scarcity in broadcast. as a result, platforms for the longest time had carte blanche with respect to ANY kind of content that would normally forfeit a right to 1A protections as trying to limit a child's exposure to harmful content on the internet is like trying to scoop all the water out of the ocean a bucket at a time. once judges that weren't literally in their seventies and eighties looked at section 230, the laws regarding this were revised to set more precedence in the future, in which they correctly anticipated a lot of unforseen variations in what we consider to be harmful or obscene content-- the CIPA came out around 2000 and was regularly updated by the FCC, and subsequent cases made things stricter and stricter.

if your knowledge of law was actually broadly about speech protections and not just whatever makes you feel better about your fetish with rehearsed BS you'd know this, and you'd know how the Protect Act, CIPA and specifically the 2251 is used to further narrow down what we consider acceptable for someone to distribute or own as new kinds of content become popularized. loli is punishable by law according to 2251 because, while you were masturbating under a rock, the US updated the code to apply to that. funny how reality works, huh? even in CA you can be hit with CSAM charges for it. you should probably get off of the goon side of twitter and read a newspaper once in a while. or go outside, idk.

The rat has now slid in the DMs of an actual woman, and got called out for it immediately. Maybe don't talk about putting them in rape camps and they'll actually be amicable towards you, Phil.


i generally despise vtubers in general and i definitely don't like kirsche but the amount of pure, unadulterated hatred TiMs have for women who say shit they don't like is so, soooo transparent. valens and all of his fetishy orbiters don't spend a single minute out of the day going after the conservative men in congress taking away their HRT or protections-- a woman said something mean and that's obviously MUCH worse and must take priority. more women are peaked every day by this bc we've been conditioned to spot the incel moid rage from a mile away. the whole 'nothing really happened or it's just DRAMA let's get over it guys' is also just the most stereotypical misogynist man response i can think of. no coat of paint will ever be able to hide that.

Which is why all we can hope for when the censors inevitably win is that the lolicons get fucked before we do.
