Undoing all the gains made during the sexual revolution. Conservatives taking us back to the puritanical dark ages.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 69 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not even conservative any more. It's regressive.

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These conservatives are old, so they are trying to "conserve" ideals that were out of touch in their own time

Let's make a community run payment processor then. We'll valiantly process porn payments.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago

Having worked in the payment industry, there is a lot of work to be done.

Even if you use the EMV standard, which almost all of the payment processor are based on, the challenge is to interface with the banks and making sure that every cards and terminals follow your standard.

And that's if you can convince banks to even accept you payment standard in the first place.

I've been thinking this too. I'll use it everywhere just because

I wonder how long this will last. The NSFW industry is insanely huge. If the current payment processors cut it off, that leaves a giant gap in the market just waiting to get filled (😏).

If they hold firm on this, it might just be a rare opportunity for a new (and hopefully better) payment processor to enter the market.

Or maybe just wider crypto adoption, idk.

I have no idea why all of a sudden payment processors care bout anything but money. What happened ?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Collective Shout happened, an australian organisation decided to wage global war on anything NSFW in games (so far), their key talking points are allegedly being feminist and anti-exploitation of women.

i wonder if they asked the women they're saying they're protecting if they want that "protection", or if they're imagining that women just don't make NSFW art

So, this means that pretty much any paid adult content can't accept visa, right? Or are they just stomping in the small creators for not being profitable enough?

Looking at you, OnlyFans..

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

For now, they are targeting more niche “taboo” kinks like incest and bdsm. But as we’ve seen time and time again with bigoted, puritanical christofascists, they will not stop there. Next, they come for the queer content. My guess is furry stuff is next under the bad faith argument of “bestiality”, then more standard queer content, including tame non-erotic content. Finally, all erotic content.

Remember, everything sexual is sinful and evil unless its a straight white cis Christian married couple having joyless missionary sex for the purposes of procreation only.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

They're already attacking furry content featuring "animal-esque genitalia", as there were people who thought that was "zoophilic". However, I still remember how much anime fans needed to fight, so that kemonomimi (catgirls, etc.) wouldn't been labeled as "zoophilic", which might be the source for the furry/anime divide in the west.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Valve has changed their content guidelines due to the requirements of the credit card processors. Itch.io, too. I wouldn't call Valve niche.

Imagine how many more "Thomas Matthew Crooks" are gonna come out of their basements if you ban their porn. Conservatives secretly love their porn. Might wanna rethink the ban.

Or not, I don't mind watching a IRL live movie about a rebellion instigated by...

checks notes

...banning porn 🤦‍♂️🤣

So, why doesn't some other payment processor step in to fill in the demand gap that the others are willfully abdicating?

This comic goes from 2020 to 1984, was this comic originally about idiots that compared wearing a face mask to wearing a jew star?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That's how this actually became a meme.

I don't get it. Will they also ban sex shops, adult cinemas and every other offline adult entertainment thing that exist?

It's legal until someone challenges it in court and they say it isn't. Sue.

Time for Europe to get its own payment processor and stop being dependent on companies from Gilead.

I was worried that this could make bitcoin seem useful but other people in here are explaining why bitcoin would still be an awful solution for this.

So... are we going back to cash and checks? Will people need to mail envelopes of cash to furry vore artists?

[–] Atlas_@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Bitcoin wouldn't be an awful solution to this, but there's certainly a few better ones, such as

  • Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
  • Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
  • Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
  • A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.

Capitalism is actually the fix for this one for once. Just be the only payment processor that lets you buy anything legal. Demand for your services guarantees your success and the others die out.

Let’s see if republicans still like capitalism now.

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Capitalism isn't the fix, banks are in cahoots with visa/mastercard and they will absolutely shut down any competition.

Lol, that's not a thing. The infrastructure required is too kuch, and most banks are conservative.

Money is now the enemy.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, and here is where the commenter learns that “capitalist” competitors have legislated their opponents out of business, bought them out, or colluded with them.

Oh, and it’s not just payment processors.

cryptocurrency is absolutely not going to be a substitute. what happens when your client's money drops in value halfway through working on their commission?
