In light of the Steam and also now the Itch situation, the specific way some people have been responding quite bothers me

[tcoaal]

Steam, Itch.io and the banning of explicit and LGBT+ Content. What can we do?

[All images in this post have alt/id text if you need it or want to copy paste anything]

With no warning, Itch.io, a site where many host their indie games, comics, books and more, has started purging and shadowbanning explicit and LGBT+ works. Creators got no warning. And if they were still owed payouts from these works, Itch.io is saying they won't give them their money as they 'broke the rules'. Rules that were only just set in place, with no warning, and therefore no way for creators to try and draw out their money or delete these 'offending' works before they got banned under the new rules.

So Itch.io has been the most recent to fall to the demands of a group that's been contacting Visa and Mastercard and convincing them to threaten sites/businesses with 'stop selling what we consider to be explicit content on your sites of we'll stop allowing your site to have transactions with Visa and Mastercard'. Steam folded, and now Itchio has too. And a reminder earlier this year Gumroad also stopped allowing explicit content, further back than that Patreon banned some kinks and fetishes even if it's depicted in fiction not real life, and I don't have to explain to you guys the great Tumblr explicit content ban of 2018.

And as always remember this doesn't stop with sexually explicit work as LGBT+ stories and people are often labelled as explicit and already we're seeing works being taken off Itch.io that are about LGBT+ and especially trans stories. Other non-sexually explicit works I've seen already getting shadowbanned, delisted or deleted are SFW games featuring furries/anthros, SFW dress up games (because when you take the clothes the model is nude), and the aforementioned SFW games that include LGBT+ characters and stories.

I'm compiling here information I've seen around various social medias, mostly Bluesky, because I haven't seen all these things shared over here.

I don't personally have explicit content on itch, but I had been considering one day selling things on there and I do currently have explicit content on my Patreon, my main source of income, and am terrified that Patreon is going to fold next (if anyone knows alterative for hosting audio content behind a paid subscription service please let me know so I can start maybe making a back-up in case the worst happens). Because for me personally if Patreon goes next, it's not like I can go out and easily get another job. Not only because in general finding and getting a job is difficult enough, but I'm autistic and have chronic pain and have been constantly getting sick or new pains over the last few years and don't feel safe being trans in the UK right now and all of that combined rules me out of a lot of jobs and makes me feel unsafe to apply to any. I'm so grateful I've been able to make a community around my work, but if Patreon caves next and I just leave my SFW posts on Patreon... 10% of my Patreons are signed up to the SFW tier, 90% are signed up to the explicit tier... I know if Patreon caves I will go from someone living comfortably who's searching to move out of my parents so I can live in a safer environment to someone who can no longer even afford the rent I pay to my parents. I'll try and get an alterative found and set up in case that happens and I can only hope you guys will follow me to whatever other site I have to set up... but it feels unlikely that people will get a whole new account on a whole new payment provider just to support me on a website they might never have heard of...

But what can we do right now?

(numbers gathered from these posts X X X )

Don't know what to say on the phone? Here's a script written by timidtanuki:

Creators have had their work removed off Itch.io with no warning and since it's been removed for 'breaking the rules' (rules that were suddenly in place with no warning) they aren't entitled to get their payouts. Just like other sites such as Youtube and Twitch and Etsy, Itch.io hold onto money from their users in a wallet and then give them payouts. So there is money creators have made, are owed, that Itch.io is not giving to them.

People are recommending that if you still have works on Itch.io to turn down the revenue sharing to 0% so that Itch.io no longer takes a cut or your money if you no longer want to support Itchi.io finically but don't want to remove your works from their platform. X

Other Bluesky posts and calls to action I've seen:

radiantg.bsky.social is asking for anyone on Itch.io who got their game deindexed, removed , or payouts turned off to reach out to them (espeically if you make explicit and/or LGBT+ games) for a piece of journalism about what is happening.

sleepyhart.bsky.social is making a thread of all the games that Itch.io has censored/removed from their site search function. Obviously be aware this will include 18+ only games, games with sexual content and other dark or heavy themes.

thetransfemininereview.com wants you to reach out to them if you're a trans creator on Itch.io who is being affected by this so they can make an accurate report. they say 'authors' in their post and I'm unsure if they also want game devs to reach out.

dropdownbear.bsky.com wants you to reach out if you have purchased things on Itch.io that you can now no longer access because of this ban. they can include them in a report being filed with the Australian Consumer Commission as this may be a violation of Australian Consumer rights. If you are Australian you can no longer access things you purchased of Itch.io you can report directly with this guide.

It's a scary time for adult creators and sex workers. It's a scary time to be trans. Support creators. And if anyone knows of any alternate payment providers that allow explicit work, and/or alternate websites to Itch (and in case things get worse, also give me Patreon alternates please) where people can host, sell and/or offer paid subscriptions to writing, images, videos, audios, games and more please leave them in the replies. And please help share this post, the posts I'm linking too, and any other resources you can find.

“I’m not proship or antiship I’m an adult with a job” ok so if you see someone shipping incest/agegap are you going to dox/suibait/harass them or not because I feel like that’s a pretty important thing to know

Hey it's Migraine Anon again (y'know the one who proposed them with an older sibling? Yeah.)

I came here to announce that I have officially started to write the fanfic, and that the eldest sibling is in fact an adopted one named Angelica Goodwill (nicknamed Angie for obvious reasons) whose behaviour will drastically change according to the route taken. I do indeed plan on writing different routes, with an incest one, and one without, so that I can feel better about myself for wanting to write some, just to know what it feels like. She was in fact adopted by Renee due to the pretty sum the government gave, plus that girl never went to school because of reasons, so it was easier to just take her as a cleaner and a substitute parent, and even another source of income as soon as she's able to work.

Angelica would definitely be a bit of a complicated kid, mainly because she has no knowledge of how to behave with other people, and therefore wouldn't know how to approach her relationship with her siblings. She's been alone forever, and without parents, without siblings, without friends. How the hell is she supposed to know where the limit between what's acceptable and what's unacceptable is??? When it comes to herself, her emotions and other people's, she struggles to understand what's right and wrong. The foster system is merciless, and she's been... through some shit. And reasons, of course.

However, she loves her family. Without distinction. Whether that'd be her parents or her siblings. Though it is strange how she seems to change personalities for every single one of them. Perhaps that is why she's so liked.

That's what I had in mind for her character for the moment. She's therefore a 'mature'—if you could say that, as she does more damage control onto herself and is in denial about how she feels most of the time—and older presence in the Graves siblings' life. I believe she's got quite the age gap with them. 6 years older than Andrew, 8 years older than Ashley. She'd swing into their lives one or two years before what happened to Nina. They'd be about 8 and 6. They'd become wary of her. They can't trust her. She's weird. But she loves them?

Angelica is still a teen when they're pre-teen, an adult when they come to their teenager years. The responsible one. The working one. The one who's... oppressive, sometimes.

How about that?

GODDAMN I KEPT FORGETTING TO GET BACK TO THIS I'M SORRY i have not been active on this blog lately

i really like it!!! Angelica sounds like a really fun character to read... i'll definitely want to give it a read if you write it! the thing i'd really want to know is how Andrew and Ashley personally feel and act around her off the top of my head!

Hey I still owe my GI doctor 180$ for my endoscopy last month. I never met any of my donation goals. I still don't have AC in my car because it's not safe to fix that until I fix my muffler. I'm getting that looked at next week so I know how much it is. My work boots have also started falling apart. Idk. I could use a hand with that 180 at least. I'm tired.
