Vote in your Democrat primaries, to help pick the best blue possible, not keep the same shitty shades that claim to be blue but are some awful shade of eggplant purple. You don't get new results by continuing to use the default you're used to.

WHAT TO DO
Card
MASTERCARD
+
VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.

Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.

Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic.

WELLS FARGO
Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.

For now, begin by treating banks the same as how the CARDS and PAYPROS were early on. Call in, make explicit complaints re: Adult Content....](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyys5nq3rbuvi3o5svdqyooo/bafkreielo363pc5b7a732egibklzdh43jjcxrzealkwowjzkwwqneg3p64)
