All NSFW games on Itch are now hidden by default.

Whether the slippery slope slides any further down is irrelevant - it was already war the moment they took away my mom incest games.

oh boy, first we had sweet baby trying to kill every type of media, now we have Collective Shout trying to make most men stop fapping and searching for a girl, that mostly reject people and have lots of requirements. I really dont know what they think, if they want to kill the porn game industry, maybe, just maybe try to encourage the prostitutes? at least these woman would get the help and approval they need, and also help men who doesnt want to enter in a relationship, but also want to at least have sex. I know that sounds personal, but boys, we need to normalize this type of thing, we NEED to talk about sexual life, because statistics show that less people are having relationships, and its both man and woman fault. So take care of your mental health

Could it be a viable solution for platforms to use additional middlemen like paypal or payoneer? If money goes through visa, to paypal, to itch.io for example - how does visa know where the money is going?

I am genuinely upset.. I worry what will happen next. Will Steam just remove all of their 18+ games? Will we see them start targeting anime? I have seen a lot of people online denounce these games and say that we are perverts or losers for enjoying them, but humanity has a need to coom. I think that these payment processors don't know who they are messing with. I know there are millions, hundreds of millions of us and we can come together to make our voices heard. This isn't just about us, it's about artists and developers losing their income. It's about the death of art. It's about freedom. I will try to figure out how we can fight back against this but for now, stay strong my friends. We will not be silenced.

In Germany, Steam blocked almost all adult games for german players a few years ago, so what you fear has already happened in that country.

And they went to great lengths to achieve this; even VPNs don't help german players get what they want from Steam any more.

Why is that? Essentially for two reasons: 1.) The stupid german government 2.) Steam is too lazy to introduce an age verification system, so they don't give a damn about german players.

I don't know man, after Google asked me for photo I.D a few years back.

I've pretty much accepted that if it comes down to that again, I'll have to live without that account.

With how much data leaks these companies have and the precedent set for retroactive laws.

Do you really want corporations and governments to know what you're doing on your computer?

I've updated the letter templates you all can send to your government representatives. I want to express the idea that petitions are easily ignored and rarely lead to change. I cannot stress how important it is to directly contact your representatives, just a simple email is all it takes. You'll be speaking to someone who can really make an impact and you won't be just another signature on a petition buried between much larger petitions with far more signatures.

Actually i don´t care if anybody knows that i am playing porn games on my computer.

The whole Itch.io thing worries me because it harms developers, who then stop developing their games or making porn games altogether because they have no way of earning money from them.

As far as i know only Patreon and Subcribestar are left now, perhaps some smaller ones too, but i bet they are the next target.

When you look at the current administration and the laws they just passed. Along with the actions of the payment vendors.

Would it be crazy to say that they would go 1 step further in the future?

Remember, they want to outlaw quite a bit of this content.

I think it all stems from the fact that the wrong people have gained too much power in society.

It sickens me that religious fanatics, sexually frustrated feminists, impotent people / asexuals, woke activists, and who knows what other scum within society determine what the rest of society is allowed to do and what it is not.

And folks, that's why you get DRM-free games and store all of them locally (talking about games in general, but applies to R18 too).

Even when buying games on Steam, I encourage people to use free open-source tools like Goldberg Steam Emulator and Steamless to remove Steam authentication requirement and DRM from all games you can, and archive them locally.



Maybe, but they'd need to go about it legally since threats about pulling out don't make sense, as F95 already cannot use those payment processors anyway.

I'm still shocked how most businesses in the world still rely on like 2 or 3 online payment processors, no wonder they feel like they can do anything and own the world. How the fuck did people expect this was going to end?

Honestly at this point I don't know how there aren't more payment processors. Like I understand it must be hard and costly, but it's like everyone in the world just accepted those payment processors like they're some kind of natural phenomenon that you just have to deal with.

I guess crypto is a thing, but hard for it to become anything other than a niche shady method for back-handed deals with how its reputation has pummeled over the years because of scams...
They rely on those payment processors because they are a duopaly that illegally collude to crush any new comers to the scene.

The Collective Shout group has been well known for years for being extremely anti-sex in any form to a puritanical degree, along with purposefully associating with far right evangelical groups like the Christian anti-sex group and the religious " " group that is anti-porn and anti-LGBT. Collective Shout is commonly referred to as Australia's because of this.

Following in that vein, Collective Shout is also very anti-transgender, though they pretend to be quiet about it, while purposefully boosting all of the anti-transgender radical feminist (commonly referred to as TERFs) groups. You can see that very clearly on their where they retweet such people and groups and their top verified followers like Genevieve Gluck and Helen Saxby.

So it's basically a guarantee that their next step after this will be to go after LGBT content in general and not just sex in games. I expect they'll go after transgender content particularly hard, including subjects like X-Change and the like.

It's also been very well known for decades that TERFs are close pals with the religious right around the world.





Including in a number of academic literature investigations of that relationship.




This is only the start of their aims, not the end.
