"DLSite just deleted the 'petite' tag and blocked off access from overseas " - X (Twitter)

You know what, contact Congressman Andy Barr's office - Phone: (202) 225-4706 - and ask them directly if the bill he introduced would do what you think it would do.

I'm not a US citizen, so contacting them by phone doesn't seem feasible for me. But I'll look into reaching out to his office.

Editing to add that I've sent an email to his staff and will give an update if I get a response.

Out of curiosity, I entered our exchange into ChatGPT.
Obviously, don't take its output as accurate or insightful; if you find the technology interesting it might be entertaining to see how it processes this kind of argument.

If you think of ChatGPT as authoritative, please get a grip and consult actual humans knowledgeable in relevant fields. LLMs still hallucinate a ton and are not reliable for much if anything yet.

Spoiler: Link to LLM output when fed the preceding argument

Laughing my fuckin arse off at some of those new names....

Fiendish/Brutal becomes..... 'very mean'.
Gangbang becomes 'Sharing is caring'.

Could have at least changed rape to 'Struggle Snuggle'.

Or "Surprise sex"

So in short, it's the religious types. What a shock. Not. It makes perfect sense.

Welcome to proper holy war, I guess. I mean, it's mutual, they are certainly trampling on my sacred values, Internet is for Porn! The sucky part is that they are well-organized, powerful, patient, etc. While the other side... not so much, I'm afraid.

As many have feared. Itchio now started to purge games with "adult" themes outside of nsfw.
Things like Mouthwashing from the horror section or Fear and Hunger have been banned.

According to rumors steam also is in a battle with the dubious duo because they "havent done enough". Might be worth keeping a eye out for both Itchio and steam upcoming delisted/banned games. This might be the ramp up before the grand "any mature or adult" themes bann wave.
As always it never ends with just ero games.

Do those pages show error 404 to you? Because they are 100% working for me.

I believe 1 or 2 years ago Pixiv was also pressured by credit card companies to region lock and demonetize based on a whole slew of vague terms.

the most hilarious (fucked up) (*sorry for my vulgar language*) it's there is no problem for CC companies about "Femdom" on shota , shota, futa on shota , anything gay with shota or boy in uniform (renamed i don't remember since school uniform were also banned) old hag on poor little boy in general but JK, loli, school uniform (mostly young girls) and petite (even legal one) are a big nono for the big financial dady ....... time are hard when you let money shark rule "your" world with their own fantasy >.>

This changes my perspective on the issue a bit. "hilarious (fucked up)" is definitely the best way to describe it.

Yeah pixiv was forced to region block all sorts of art with certain tags much like how dlsite did and now other platforms. It wasn't that much of an issue at the time though since you could change your account's region to japan and the region block would go away, too bad a lot of these other platforms don't have something like that.

Glad to know this was hoax then. Keeping track of all the flood of news is getting difficult.
I do have to point out that the moutwashing dev claimed he was banned during the wave on social media.
For F&H i only seen screenshot of users claiming it got nuked and vanished from their library.

Fear & Hunger shows up in search but Mouthwashing doesn't.




Lots of games are deindexed, only a few are removed from the site.

You might already seen it. Paypal pulls a new trick regarding Steam. They will disable any usage of currencies except EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, and USD.
At least it seems to be a new strat to further limit the means of people to buy ero + non ero games. By simply slashing the option to buy with your money

DLsite (and some other big nsfw distributors) found an absolutely delirious solution to the CC problem but i'm not sure it'll last for long.
If you check Steam (and to know where to check but just checking dlsite as publisher work) dlsite & co are selling alot of "loli/petite/uniform"(or with slightly bigger body some became oppai loli) without any tag at all (lol yup look like it's working) and even if those game are flaged they just come back with different name yup CC are ok with that if you let them get their % via steam apparently.... that even more "fucked up" than i thought . i guess CC just don't like asian nsfw if they don't comply with the rest of the world after all ....
