🄲 ┊ ꒱ Basic dnfi/dni: lgbtq phobic, spread hate, anti-shipper, involve yourself in drama or discourse ❌ I will simply block if you can not respect people’s boundaries because everyone is allowed to shape their own online spaces. This includes fiction one consumes. Being a bigot or outright rude to others will be an instant block too. Lastly, if you’re under 18 or have no indication of age I will block as well.
🄳 ┊ besides that anyone can follow ❤️My biggest criteria personally is you’re an adult, 18+, and not a jerk or bigot. Always been open minded for the most part and advocate for minding your business so despise policing others actions regarding fiction and harassment of others. In addition, I am semi-ish nsfw. Mostly suggestive and consider myself more towards sfw BUT I will reblog certain nsfw art every now and then so if you are not comfortable with 18+ then do not follow ‼️⚠️ These are tagged as suggestive, nsft, and nsfw.
🎀Some of my favorite series 🎀
Video games: ace attorney, animal crossing, atelier series, final fantasy, fire emblem, kingdom hearts, persona, pokémon, tales of series, the legend of zelda, xenoblade, yakuza 🌸
Animanga: bleach, danger in my heart, fruit baskets, gushing over magical girls, love is war, magical girl raising, precure, sailor moon, studio ghiibli 🌼
I need antis to realize that all of the current censorship of online nsfw content is a direct result of pearlclutching behaviour like theirs.
"I don't like this thing / I think it is immoral / It's icky to me / Children might see it --- therefore it shouldn't exist and everyone who consumes this content should be locked away or die."
You understand that this is a dangerous concept, yes? It is inherently fascist. You understand that the next steps will be the full censoring of trans and other LGBTQA+ content - under the guise of "it might harm our children"? We already see it happening.
You need to understand that with these people there is no nuance. It is all of nothing. This is what the pro-fiction/pro-ship/anti-censorship community has always understood and said. This is not just about "problematic ships in fiction" and "icky kinks". There will ALWAYS be someone who feels uncomfortable with something. You can not cater to everyone. You are an intelligent human being who needs to learn how to avoid things they feel uncomfortable with themselves.
For example, if any type of furry art irks you, you can not expect furry art to be shunned and banned everywhere. If you don't like certain kinks, you can not demand the internet to wipe all content involving said kink. Logically, if you are easily disturbed by war and current world happenings; you can not just tell the newspaper to stop reporting on them either.
Please educate yourselves. I can not stress this enough. This has happened before, during the Nazi regime in Germany. It was called "Entartete Kunst", meaning "Degenerate Art".
What was declared as "degenerate" art? Depictions of trans, gay, lesbian, disabled humans. Impressionism, Expressionism, Dada, art styles that looked "deformed". Everything that did not fit into the Nazis conservative view. Degenerate art was collected, locked away, burned, destroyed, sold out of the country.
You can not underestimate the slippery slope of "I think the depiction of a certain topic is problematic and bad, and therefore it should be forbidden."
Proshippers, nsfw content creators and kinky freaks are not the enemy. We advocate for freedom of expression.
So if you're just waking up, itchio took down NSFW and a lot of queer content overnight. They did this with no warning or announcement, no emails, nothing. Their statement blames Collective Shout, the same people who went after Steam, for pressuring the payment processors.
Well. Let's pressure the bastards back.
List of starting points:

Remember: don't be an asshole to rank and file employees. Don't yell, swear, or threaten. You're mad at the corporate heads, not the normies. Be firm but polite in all messages you leave, no matter where they are.
If you have any other links or ideas, please reblog with them! We're all in this together. If you're queer, remember that you're pornographic to them by default. They will come for you, so strike now while we can!
Steam, Itch.io and the banning of explicit and LGBT+ Content. What can we do?
[All images in this post have alt/id text if you need it or want to copy paste anything]
With no warning, Itch.io, a site where many host their indie games, comics, books and more, has started purging and shadowbanning explicit and LGBT+ works. Creators got no warning. And if they were still owed payouts from these works, Itch.io is saying they won't give them their money as they 'broke the rules'. Rules that were only just set in place, with no warning, and therefore no way for creators to try and draw out their money or delete these 'offending' works before they got banned under the new rules.
So Itch.io has been the most recent to fall to the demands of a group that's been contacting Visa and Mastercard and convincing them to threaten sites/businesses with 'stop selling what we consider to be explicit content on your sites of we'll stop allowing your site to have transactions with Visa and Mastercard'. Steam folded, and now Itchio has too. And a reminder earlier this year Gumroad also stopped allowing explicit content, further back than that Patreon banned some kinks and fetishes even if it's depicted in fiction not real life, and I don't have to explain to you guys the great Tumblr explicit content ban of 2018.
And as always remember this doesn't stop with sexually explicit work as LGBT+ stories and people are often labelled as explicit and already we're seeing works being taken off Itch.io that are about LGBT+ and especially trans stories. Other non-sexually explicit works I've seen already getting shadowbanned, delisted or deleted are SFW games featuring furries/anthros, SFW dress up games (because when you take the clothes the model is nude), and the aforementioned SFW games that include LGBT+ characters and stories.
I'm compiling here information I've seen around various social medias, mostly Bluesky, because I haven't seen all these things shared over here.
I don't personally have explicit content on itch, but I had been considering one day selling things on there and I do currently have explicit content on my Patreon, my main source of income, and am terrified that Patreon is going to fold next (if anyone knows alterative for hosting audio content behind a paid subscription service please let me know so I can start maybe making a back-up in case the worst happens). Because for me personally if Patreon goes next, it's not like I can go out and easily get another job. Not only because in general finding and getting a job is difficult enough, but I'm autistic and have chronic pain and have been constantly getting sick or new pains over the last few years and don't feel safe being trans in the UK right now and all of that combined rules me out of a lot of jobs and makes me feel unsafe to apply to any. I'm so grateful I've been able to make a community around my work, but if Patreon caves next and I just leave my SFW posts on Patreon... 10% of my Patreons are signed up to the SFW tier, 90% are signed up to the explicit tier... I know if Patreon caves I will go from someone living comfortably who's searching to move out of my parents so I can live in a safer environment to someone who can no longer even afford the rent I pay to my parents. I'll try and get an alterative found and set up in case that happens and I can only hope you guys will follow me to whatever other site I have to set up... but it feels unlikely that people will get a whole new account on a whole new payment provider just to support me on a website they might never have heard of...

Don't know what to say on the phone? Here's a script written by timidtanuki:
Creators have had their work removed off Itch.io with no warning and since it's been removed for 'breaking the rules' (rules that were suddenly in place with no warning) they aren't entitled to get their payouts. Just like other sites such as Youtube and Twitch and Etsy, Itch.io hold onto money from their users in a wallet and then give them payouts. So there is money creators have made, are owed, that Itch.io is not giving to them.
People are recommending that if you still have works on Itch.io to turn down the revenue sharing to 0% so that Itch.io no longer takes a cut or your money if you no longer want to support Itchi.io finically but don't want to remove your works from their platform. X
Other Bluesky posts and calls to action I've seen:
radiantg.bsky.social is asking for anyone on Itch.io who got their game deindexed, removed , or payouts turned off to reach out to them (espeically if you make explicit and/or LGBT+ games) for a piece of journalism about what is happening.
sleepyhart.bsky.social is making a threat of all the games that Itch.io has censored/removed from their site search function. Obviously be aware this will include 18+ only games, games with sexual content and other dark or heavy themes.
thetransfemininereview.com wants you to reach out to them if you're a trans creator on Itch.io who is being affected by this so they can make an accurate report. they say 'authors' in their post and I'm unsure if they also want game devs to reach out.
dropdownbear.bsky.com wants you to reach out if you have purchased things on Itch.io that you can now no longer access because of this ban. they can include them in a report being filed with the Australian Consumer Commission as this may be a violation of Australian Consumer rights. If you are Australian you can no longer access things you purchased of Itch.io you can report directly with this guide.
It's a scary time for adult creators and sex workers. It's a scary time to be trans. Support creators. And if anyone knows of any alternate payment providers that allow explicit work, and/or alternate websites to Itch (and in case things get worse, also give me Patreon alternates please) where people can host, sell and/or offer paid subscriptions to writing, images, videos, audios, games and more please leave them in the replies. And please help share this post, the posts I'm linking too, and any other resources you can find.
Minors DNI. Ageless blogs DNI. I want resources and help but I don't reply to this post or follow this blog if you're under 18, this is an explicit blog and not for anyone under 18.
