Cheat Sheet v.2

nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:

US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1

3. STRIPE:

4. PAYPAL:

HOW TO CALL CONGRESS

1. Call one of the #s on the previous slide.

2. When you get connected to your rep's office, all you have to do is read the script below. There's no scary conversation. We swear! The staffer on the other end will jot down what you have to say.

3. Hang up, crack a cold one. Rinse. Repeat.

SCRIPT
Hi. My name is [FIRST/LAST NAME], I live in [WHERE YOU LIVE], and I am a constituent of [Representative's Name]. I'm calling to demand that [Representative's Name] vote NO on the GOP budget bill.
[Representative's Name] needs to grow a (add personal flavor) backbone, stop bending over for their billionaire buddies, and protect safety net programs that people count on.

The closer certain fandoms come to realizing that the corporations they support are at fault, the harder their brains will attempt to convince themselves it's the striking workers who are to blame, or the people controlling the strike.

Support striking actors. They are fighting for their futures.

Ryan "Eraserhead Baby Callout Post" Hoyle @hoyleryan.bsky.social · Mar 12

Got in a very brief argument on reddit with someone claiming that it was entirely SAG-Aftra's fault that actors were suffering because of the strike.

No. That is incorrect.

Some studios have signed interim agreements. If corporations are being greedy, that's on them for being motherfuckers.

The fight against Generative AI, whether it's art, music, voices, etc, is a fight worth fighting.

...but it is a fight I wish we never had to fight in the first place...

AmericanTruckSongs10 @ethangach.bsky.social · Mar 12

Striking SAG-AFTRA game actors say companies still refuse to meet them on AI protections and want to be able to replace their performances with digital replicas in the future.

"They want to be able to make your replica continue to work, as you, during a future strike, whether you like it or not. "
