In recent years, there's been a bigger push to fight against "pedophiles" on the internet, and credit card companies have started enforcing a series of rules that are supposedly meant to prevent the exchange of money for child pornography and sex trafficking on the dark web, but are actually banning anything that could conceivably be associated with something that would be illegal in real life, including any mention of incest, non-consensual sex, or even things that don't exist like magic hypno pencils. These rules are enforced on payment processors like Paypal, who can't afford to have a major credit card refuse to do business with them, and then those processors are forced to enforce the same rules on anyone who does business with them, including sites like Patreon, itch.io, or even Pixiv, which is based in a country that doesn't have the same sort of rules but is still forced to follow them. This results in artists, writers, and game devs being banned from the sites and/or demonitized for doing things that were previously allowed. It's the reason why so many games on this site are about a "landlady" and "roommate" and have an "incest patch" that supposedly has nothing to do with the developer, except lately they've been targeting even those games for bypassing the no-incest rule. As someone whose primary fetish is mind control, I've been seeing more and more content creators getting shut down from rules that keep getting stricter and stricter, and are enforced on all websites across the whole internet.
