~~Another side note - If it was Visa/MS themselves, they could not switch to other payment processor as all card payment processors work with visa/ms.~~

~~Steam is awfully silent, but that's pretty normal of Gabe, transparency has never really been the strong side for Valve. Then again, steam never mentioned Visa/MS. In fact, they never mentioned any company names, only itch dared to do that, but seeing as both got hit at the same time, you don't need to be a genius to figure out steam has likely the same problem as itch.io~~

UPDATE: Valve finally responded. MS now clearly looks complicit in this. There is some serious chain of blame game going, the whole thing seems rotten. What's seriously worrysome about this is rule 5.12.7 mentions mutilation of a person or body parts, which would potentially also put many shooter games under the ban. Still unclear where Visa stands in this and if they're involved.

Apparently payment processor. Singular. Stripe. Visa/MS never changed it's policy and still allows NSFW content, they're not even a payment processor. It feels a bit bonkers now that internet bombed them when they weren't even involved with this mess and it was just Stripe. On the bright side, itch.io already announced they're ditching them and are in talks with other payment processors.

Pretty sure that's actually a crime since kids can't be on platforms, which is why companies ban you if they find out you're under 13.

Did you just insult them? Counter-ban

US government for 1 dollar? Count me in

Uhh, I don't think ancient roman is a good example, unless barbarism, constant expansionism, slavery and patriarchy is your thing, and I'm skipping over a lot of other fucked up shit like forced sex based on status quo. While their culture was indeed rich, they were far from being an example country.

EDIT: Even carthage, the country rome destroyed, would be a better example.

Just lmao.. https://i.imgur.com/mUwTITV.jpeg

Still looking for a single leftist here who claims they support communism. I constantly see it being attributed to the left, but in real life scenarios I just don't see it, only in memes, unless you meant socialism, which is a healthy system of every country, including US.

EDIT: I guess I should stop waiting, this feels like strawman argument/gatekeeping

I'm sorry, but I have to block you as you are incapable of a two-way communication, but only blind rage.

Please, for the love of god, ask some people next to you to read that and explain to you how they understand that comparison, because you obviously are incapable of basic comprehension skills.

Shit, this is not something I like to do, but here is ChatGPT interpreting it: https://chatgpt.com/share/688aa17d-0d04-8010-81ac-043d1e73688f

"women are like islamophobes and men are like muslims" are you fucking serious right now bro?

Yeah, after another strawman argument, I'm not even going to bother reading rest of your comment. Stop coming up with non-existing arguments and then attribute them to me somehow saying it. I literally have no clue how you managed to hallucinate your way into whatever you just vomitted out.

EDIT: My comment was also quite clear about the fact, that this is not gender specific issue, but social issue.
