You're okay with the government breaking into homes and kidnapping children while they're naked, but pouring paint on a driveway in response to that is "extremist"?

Seriously, how delicious is boot leather to you?

Fellow itchio authors: a PSA

Itchio is shadowbanning and taking down work from adult and queer content creators. Please go check your accounts!

My entire catalogue is unsearchable as of now because my account is marked as adult. None of my books have been removed as of yet, but if you have bought my books from there, please go download them just in case. I have removed the "erotic" and anything related to the lgbtq+ community in my tags as well, since they have also removed books with those tags. I am leaving my adult tags up in hopes that if I comply with their TOS, I can still get paid.

Also, with the way that there was no warning, absolutely no rhyme or reason to how this is being done, I'm not sure if we will be getting paid what is owed to us. I personally have a pretty large sum tied up in pending payments right now that if I don't receive, will affect my ability to pay my bills this month and going forward. I'm trying to stay positive, but with the way it is being handled, I'm not sure.

PLEASE DO NOT purchase my books from itchio. I am working on getting them in a temporary home in a google drive folder/giving you my ko-fi link if you can spare some cash for a donation in return. Then I'll figure out where to go. I need to sleep and regulate, and I will work on that tomorrow morning and update y'all when it's ready!

This is such a blow to the community. I have been really loud and proud about publishing on itchio. It was meant to be a way for creators to earn higher royalties and publish darker/more taboo work without fear of censorship. I believe that this is happening because of the pressure big credit card companies are putting on places like steam and now itchio.

I'm not sure if itchio has already been threatened or if they preemptively complied, but I hope they are aware that in losing nsfw creators, they are losing MOST of their income.

Authors on itchio, please turn your revenue split to 0%. This is an excellent way to show them that we don't agree with what they're doing. You can do that by going to your Dashboard > Payouts > Seller Settings > Revenue Share. It is best done on the desktop site.

If you can, write an email to itchio, call Mastercard and Visa and complain about their policies.

This fucking sucks, but i have faith that weird freaky queer work will persist, as it always does.

I still do think it’s really funny that American conservatives are like “Don’t tread on me!!! 😡 I value my God-given rights and freedoms!!! Unless ☝️you are a corporation, in which case feel free to trample all over my God-given rights and freedoms 😍”

I love it when people who are usually anti-Snape to the core start saying who the “realest” Snape fans are, and —what a coincidence— it’s always the ones who try to stay on good terms with his haters, or who, before saying how much they like the character, make a list of all the bad and unforgivable things he did, just in case anyone doubts they’re on the Side of the Good™ despite liking a character who isn’t so much on the Side of the Good™.

You can really see through it, honestly, you’re a bunch of dickheads.
