Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.

But I still want the stuff they've made, their back catalogues, etc.

Its not just fantasies of illegal stuff. This is about eventually coming after queers and our culture, as the fuckers behind it have said explicitly.

Edit: i cannot believe people still fall for this dhit entirepy in earnest, but: first they whip up anger about a group that's an acceptable target, then stretch the bpundaries of that group beyond all credibility, then when its totally normalized they just go after whatever targets they want.

Or, to put it another way: first they went after the dismemberment fetish porn, and i did not speak up, because i do not have a dismemberment fetishist...

For fucks sake it's 2025. Nobody fucking believes you honestly don't see this shit. You either want to look away, or you're getting off on it.

But fuck cryptocurrencies, right? They don't have any use case other than pump and dump schemes.

If only any of the crypto bros actually wanted it to be a functional payment and economic system instead of a just "line goes up to further enrich myself" mlm scheme.

It cant be both.

Use case transfer without restriction, regulation, censorship. Very good at that if not use centralized exchange. Pump and dump only for meme coin.
