This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Here's a cool thing:

This is a graph of women in computing over time.

Look what happened in 1982.

$A graph showing % of women majors in various fields from 1965 to 2010. Women were on par in every field until the mid-80s, and then precipitously dropped to a fraction it had once been while the other fields kept getting more rep.$

Okay, so I get some folks don't like Vivziepop. That's perfectly okay. My only ask is that they stop pumping out therapyspeak-laden word salads grasping at straws trying to moralize their dislike.

Friend just showed me a recent example and I was like "Jesse wtf are you talking about???"

It is imperative that you do not depend on the police to help you or take our side during clashes with the fascist Federals.

Police see a protest and know that they hate every person in that protest. It doesn't matter what it's for or who you are - they know their job is to smash you.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Obviously a lot of people don’t like the show or don’t think it’s good. That’s fine. But if there’s one thing I know for SURE by now, a LOT of people LOVE the show and think it’s good. Don’t let the internet tell you you are alone in liking it, you are absolutely not. 🥰💕 enjoy what you enjoy.

Games journalism is really toothless today bc if you get the Sweet Baby-Alyssa Mercante treatment, no one will circle the wagons for you. That was the message everyone got in 2023. Small journos cannot afford to do so bc they’re churning at the churn factory, but the big names w/ pull won’t either

if your okay with what ICE is doing, than you don't have to wonder what you would have done in Germany in the 30s.....you would have been the one telling Gestapo who was hiding people in closets and attics. I have no respect for you if you look at this and go "meh"

this is evil. this is Fascism

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

You ever notice that almost all of these goofs stay on Twitter? In fact, you’ll usually be able to find BlueSky accounts that were created and quickly abandoned.

Twitter is a machine DESIGNED to reward misinformation, and these people take full advantage of it.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

the entirety of The Simpsons takes place over perhaps 16 months, in a society experiencing rapid social and technological changes due to Springfield being a lost society of 1988 people rediscovered in the 2300s, where social scientists attempt to bring them up to speed without major culture shock
