I am sure you have seen how in the last 3 weeks thousands of games and entire swaths of art (including furry, horror, hypno, hentai and more content) have been culled from Steam/Itch/Fansly and more, and we are making a stand.

The first board meeting of the Adult Content Creator Network (ACCN) has concluded. We are an advocacy group that wants to protect the rights of sex workers and content creators alike as well as allow consumers to voice their opinions. The aim of this non-profit organization is to have as many members as possible so that we can represent the total financial value we make up for the platforms we use and then mount pressure on platforms like Patreon, OnlyFans, Itch.io etc. and have them cooperate with us in battles against larger corporations like MasterCard and Visa. Think of us as the polar opposite to Collective Shout and other groups that seek to silence us and choose what adults can or cannot spend their money on.

If you create legal pornographic, erotic, or sex content- whether as a game dev, artist, author, cam girl, vtuber, or even if you JUST SUPPORT ADULT CONTENT etc., then PLEASE consider joining the cause! Below is the link to read, and if you want to join, this is the opportunity while the iron burns hot, before even more content is lost!



Please share this in Discords, social media, anywhere you think people would want to stand up against this nonsense. Thank you!

"The Adult Content Creator Network (ACCN) is a newly formed non-profit organization"

Where can I see the status, and in what country have the NPO been registered?




MissCougar have you still some place for a possible new fetish?

Not sure their first board meeting was today, so I would not put the cart before the horse. I just wanted to get the word out.

No, it's fine! They will be having 4 board meetings this month, so we'll see how it pans out. I did the board application, but depending on what everyone decides, will help me decide if I will stay on the board (if selected). For example, I advocate that literally anything legal should be defended by the ACCN. If they want to pick and choose fetishes, I'll bow out. But, it just literally formed today.

Well, if the first board meeting was today, then it mean that the status are already wrote, the NPO registered, and it should be available on their site.

One do not have a board meeting before there's a board, there's no board before the NPO is registered, and the NPO isn't registered if it don't have status. Yet, the only thing available on their site is a vague presentation and a summary of the first board meeting...


I just wanted to get the word out.
And I just put a bit of realism in a community that seem to seriously lack of it those last few days.

Having a NPO like this one would be a good thing. The gaming community is near to not acknowledged as being part of sex workers, while they are not so different from the staff on the set of any porn movie. So, having a NPO to represent them, yes it would be a good thing.
But for this it have to be a NPO, not just a bunch of people who call themselves NPO because they don't ask for money.

The first one can earn trust and respectability with the time passing, and through this have some achievement. It would also be in position to team with some of the other NPO related to, hmm, let's call this "positive sexuality", like members of the by example, but not only. And that way carry the voice of adult games developers.
But the second one will never achieve anything else than wasting people's time. And they'll do it alone, because no NPO would want to be involved with them; it would seriously harm the (too little alas for most of them) trust and respectability they achieved to gain since their creation.

Acting and advertising for "positive sexuality", whatever through sex workers (at all level, so from prostitute to camgirls, passing by pron actresses and actors), LGBTQ+, and all, is already a difficult task and generally frown at by the institutions; and when it's not frown at, because the country is more open-minded, it's still not recognized at its true value and necessity. Actual NPO don't need, and even less want, the bad press that a bunch of angry devs kicked out of Steam for borderline content would spread over them, especially if they claim to be a NPO they aren't.

Well, like I said, I don't know anything about the legalese and such. You can always ask her, her links are available on the website. For all I know she's done all the stuff they have to do. Since I am ignorant, I can't really say much on it.
