Payment Processor Censorship (Visa / Mastercard / Stripe / PayPal etc) - Discuss Payment Processor/Gateways/Banks censoring people in this thread.

[Do Not Touch Me Pls]

To add you didn't really see this kick off until Mouthwashing a popular game of divisive quality which features sexual assault as a theme of the plot was banned. I have played the game the words rape or sexual assault are never mentioned and I could call its framing tasteful in some aspects as it clearly communicates that the sexual assault occurred yet never outright says it or shows it.

So for this game to be removed by Itch.io in the recent wave of coomer games getting banned was seen as a personal offense by a lot of people as the game had managed to take off on tiktok.

It's not banned, the guys who made the game took advantage of it being delisted for another reason back in 2024 to bolster sales.

Disingenious, but still reflects how big of a problem this is.

I have opted to be an optimistic doomer. I think our days are numbered online --not just residents of the wretched British Isles, but everywhere-- and so I'm preparing to unplug completely and resume touching grass full time.

Even if we are not fucked now, we will all be by the time the Trump Administration steps down and the entirety of America is plunged to civil war. At this pace if nothing major happens (like full blown control grid collapse) we'll all just end up as slaves to Judaism (again and) on an international scale.

Mouthwash was indeed a lie by the devs which isn't surprising that they're pieces of shit given their thoughts on other things.
HOWEVER, it would appear the devs for that VILE Horror Game were removed from steam.

So there IS an actual game that doesn't deserve it getting it

 

[SpellforceFan]

I'd want both coomers, gooners and trannies, alongside wannabee tyrants to "have fun".

Gooners have proven to be useful in - and I cannot believe I'm typing this unironically - fighting to protect consumer rights. That alone justifies their existence.

The idiots on the left thought the whole "we can scream at Mastercard and get things removed from the internet" was awesome until it turns out that no, it's not their own special toy that no one else is allowed to use, a bunch of conservative radfems in a ass backwards 3rd world Chinese colony can do the same thing. Now it's a problem becuase only the beautiful ones were meant to have such power. But this is pretty much a running theme with the left -- they think only they will ever be allowed to do things, everything and everyone just has to sit around waiting for the left to make decisions for the world.

The real fun thing is going to be if S.401 or the OCC rule get pushed through at the explicit objection of MasterCard (again, upwards of 20-30 trillion USD processed a year, they aren't going to let it happen, ever) and the woke idiots will absolutely, 100%, try and make carveouts for shit they don't like.

"Yeah it's horrible that my degenerate incest rape porn was banned from the video game store children use but maybe MasterCard should be allowed to ban firearm sales?"

Mark my words it's going to be like the one ring and mount doom -- there's no way in hell the left will want to give up the ability to debank anyone to the left of Mao. We're going to have to pray some tumblrina pulls a gollum and makes such an ass of theythemselves at the last minute to drag things past the finish line.

I am seeing more commentary than I would have expected, from the steam and itch.io games forced off by payment processors. Asmongold and even normie tech news.

With birth rates plummeting and younger generations being NEETs and hikkomori, average younger ‘netizen’ probably cares a lot about their goon addiction and anything that threatens it.

It’s an awful cause, advocating for filth like pornography, but it’s getting the normies to see that they too can be affected by the shadow government of corporate policy. No appeal process. No way to seek redress.

The best you get right now is doing a Luigi Mangioni (allegedly).

Like 80% of the people bitching about this stuff have probably never touched a porn game. And probably less than a single percent of the people who have played a porn game at least once have played any of the incest mind control rape games that were banned off steam. Porn games just aren't very popular and extreme fetish stuff even less so. Sex addiction is a problem but there's not some unwashed horde of gooner gamers out there which constitutes the majority of the under-50 demographic.

The reality is that millennials have not lived a single decade where video games and the internet have not been subject to some sort of bullshit moral panic that turns out to have been orchestrated by NGO grifters and they're tired of it. This is partly why the people at the top are trying to ram this shit through now, because this is the last decade where the boomers will have a captive voting bloc that will permit them to push this.

 

[WelperHelper99]

This is a good start, but it’s not enough. Visa can handle some crank calls. Actual legislation need to be put in place.

That is after step one

But totally agree that legislation needs to happen.

I just wanted to post to document what I experienced when calling the support lines. First, I have to clarify that I'm not a coomer and I'm a little happy that I don't see sex slop on my steam page. That being said, I also hate very long-nosed individuals who tell me how to use my money.

Calling the line got me to a flip representative. I mentioned the news regarding Steam and Itch.io. The rep didn't seem to understand what those were, but understood what to do when either are mentioned. Told me that the line that I've called does not handle complaints/inquires for the content policy nor is there such a line to be transferred to. To add, there was no manager available to speak on this matter because, as mentioned, the line was not for inquires about the content policy. Rep pushed me to create a ticket for the complaints department, but I didn't push through with this; instead, I asked about the volume and quality of the calls relating to the Steam and Itch.io censorship. Rep replied with "yes, almost every call is relating to the censorship" and "sometimes the person on the other end is very angry and yells." I ended my call here and thanked the Rep.

Now, I have no stake in the argument. I hate both sides, but I really doubt that these coomers are calmly calling Visa/Mastercard to simply inquire about the content policy and why an American company should bend a knee to some Aussie faggots. I have a suspicion that the coomers are aping out on the phone going "BUT MUH PORN GAMES" and acting like they've won the long-fight when the rep rightly gets pissed off and hangs up on them.

That is some excellent insight into what is happening on the other end of the line. Thank you for your service.

That's all these overseas call centers tbh. In my experience, if you actually try to ask for a manager or push them to not hang the phone up, even politely, they act like you're the spawn of satan coming to ruin their day. Third-worlders in these places hate doing actual work and they rely on the guilt of white people to keep their workload light.

They're paid foreign scab labor taking jobs from whites and there's zero reason to feel sorry for them just because they have to actually do their job and deal with angry customers.

I have opted to be an optimistic doomer. I think our days are numbered online --not just residents of the wretched British Isles, but everywhere-- and so I'm preparing to unplug completely and resume touching grass full time.

I already have cupboards full of old video games, books and DVDs, the only thing I really need to get in place is some sort of industrial data storage device I can put my MATI archives and other YouTube stuff on, as well as my huge library of legitimately acquired music on (if anyone has any product recommendations hit me up).

Yeah that's probably never happening unfortunately. Even if we were able to wipe the slate clean it would probably take Null years to claw his way up out of the pit the payment processors have buried him in.

It feels a lot like the 2016 election, where the dems were caught completely off guard by the power of meme magic and more people were shitposting on Twitter than watching the debates. I think all the #FreePalestine stuff has also really frightened the establishment because for the first time in almost a century Jews have lost control of the narrative and even the normies are yelling 'fuck Israel'.

TL;DR We are unironically in the 'the goyim know, shut it down' meme.

I think your take has been the most realistic so far. PERHAPS they are aware of their pincer manoeuvre, and how people would rock the boat, who knows.
But also this could give rise (and all the problems that come with) the """decentralised""" internet.

They aren't left or right, they only use left and right talking points to do their own bidding. They only believe in one thing and that is Jewish supremacy over the Goyim. It's not a slang term either, that's literally what it is. They all think that they are the only ones fitting to decide what you can say and do because they had 2,000 years of success in doing it starting from the Medieval church. And even if they cannot debank you, all they have to do is to collapse the American White House Empire and they will be able to completely subjugate humanity across the world. With Agenda 21-style fedualist villages surrounded by pristine wilderness and fully controlled Internet/mass media directly under the United Nations.

You pretty much need a total control grid collapse to end the madness once and for all. That sort of collapse that would had been liberated the entire European Continent from the European Union and restore nationality across all of the countries. And then the United Nations will have to cease to exist because that thing has no place in this world. Then you have to make sure ICANN listens to the United States and not to any globalist organization.

For all we know, the consequences of this is utterly massive that most gentiles in Commonwealth countries will not really agree to it for such a reason, because they are truly "too big to fall" institutions that are there for 2,000+ years (and only changed their name and organization; they are still ran by the same sort of people).

It seems the normies are making Visa card call center niggers scream in rage. LMAO even

Edit: It seems like this is getting bigger. A lot bigger. Ive seen this graphic floating around.
View attachment 7714939

And it seems like many, many people are calling, enough that sloptubers are making videos on the GAMERS RISING THE FUCK UP

Ive seen a fuck ton of tweets supporting this on my own. Bros... are the normies doing something???

Here's another one I've seen floating around:

Nice. I've also seen this:

Slowly, people are organizing. It's a bit disheveled right now, very much a scattergun approach, but it's making some noise at least.

Better late than never. The payment processor and payment network issue has been a problem for years and yet it's only now people wake up to the real issue.
EDIT: I found a video from C-SPAN of a US Senator calling out Visa and Mastercard's de-facto monopoly.

 

[Oliver Onions]

How long do you reckon before they shut down the phone numbers entirely? Is there any legal obligation in America to provide phone helplines?

They have legit customer complaints on these lines, shutting them down would be a big self-own.

They could try reorganizing it so that you hit an AI rep first, to attempt to filter out Steam/itch.io complaints, or redirect them to a forever queue. They can remove any menu shortcuts that would skip this process. They could require you to enter your card number, first to verify that you are even a real customer, and then to lock a specific individual out from calling more than 3 times a week or something.

There's a lot they could do to blunt the momentum. The fag portion of the outrage will probably lessen from itch.io gradually bringing 90% of the games back. Even in this thread we have misidentification of delisted games as deleted.

Even 8 month ago they were being called niggers. Also first few seconds and I hear 50% PROFIT MARGIN. Visa/Mastercard is raping you like fucking niggercattle.
