A couple years ago a bunch of credit card companies suddenly decided they wanted to dictate how people are allowed to spend their money. They issued warnings to game stores to delist all nsfw games or else. The credit card companies have an amazing racket going on and I struggle to believe they suddenly care about some morality over profit. Generally all they care about is that people spend as much money as possible. I also seem to recall them being notably silent on the much larger revenue streams coming from adult videos. So what was their actual purpose in these seemingly random strikes?

The anti-porn group (CS) has had experience petitioning for things like this before. They usually petition the store (steam or itch) but were told to pound sand instead, so they went to payment processors. Keep in mind, Patreon has had a similar problem with nsfw work in general because of payment processors. These companies are ok with censoring adult work, iirc there was a provision for it. CS posted their letter on their website that they sent. Patreon blamed it on KOSA and project 2025.
