My friends wonder why I'm so fiercely political.

I grew up admiring many people I now realize are terrible. There is this uncomfortable putridity that I was built by faulty material.

So, I've been trying really hard to become someone completely opposed to what was laid before me.

Better Business Bureau. They help mediate issues between businesses and customers (as well as some other things). They reached out to PayPal on my behalf and put me in touch w an actual person and not a pointless chat bot. A person who could actually do something, too.

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.

If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

The astrological sign Gemini refers to a time of year, approximately May 21 to June 21, not a specific year in history. Understanding the Difference • Years: are a measure of time that passes. • Astrological signs: (like Gemini) are periods within a year, associated with personality traits and celestial movements, not dates in history. Your Question Your question combines a temporal concept (a specific year) with an astrological concept (a zodiac sign). To clarify: • 1994: was a specific year. • Gemini: is a period of time within a year, from late May to late June.

“She was not the only developer who reported the company singling out yuri content.”

Games journalists really dropped the ball on itchio targeting yuri content, both SFW and NSFW

The censorship of Toxic Yuri Game Jam hasn’t gotten any coverage from the games press
'We're not safe here' In the immediate days after, creators have found themselves at a loss of what to do. Game developer krispycat, also known as ButterflyLatte, reports that her NSFW game demo, known as "The Seventh Bride," was deindexed, and is only shown when specifically searched for. It wasn't just this game, either. "On a whim, I tried to search up my SFW games as well - Wendy, warm, Like Seafoam. These games are fairly innocent and wholesome; 'warm' and 'Wendy' star children. However, they don't appear in the suggestions either - I suspect it's because they're yuri games," she recounted, describing a genre of fiction which depicts romance between two female characters and has no inherent sexual elements. Some creators report that an entire game jam - or collection of games developed in a short period to build community - was affected. The Toxic Yuri Game Jam, consisting of over 200 different games, saw significant hits, with over half of the games delisted and several being completely removed from the site. One user, known as Kastel, describes how a joke game they made was delisted squarely for having the tag "erotic." They mention how this jam was filled with first time developers, and how the occurrence of these bans led to mass panic, watching a happy community turn into people feeling completely doomed. "I've done a bunch of these game jams, so I'm giving them advice. And then I'm looking at all this and it's just... what do I even say? This is a pretty bad situation. I can't pretend that this is good. This isn't a wonderful thing we can all survive. It's pretty rough. I feel bad for everyone, especially because it's their first wave of censorship."

Most left-wing content creators are not well versed in the issue, see it as too niche, or don’t really feel the need to return to it. The rest of the left covering this issue are journalists — they’re doing vital work, but leftist streamers & YouTubers do need to return to the issue

There’s been a disconnect for a couple yrs between published feminist interpretations of anime / games / manga and how female fans who are feminists actually feel about this issue. A lot of women like Senran Kagura and Stellar Blade. Note: The anime community has more queer women than the mainstream

Leftist content creators backed themselves into a corner on this. A lot of their fans now believe gooner games are bad cuz gooning is bad. The real problem is a specific sociocultural trend that demands female characters always adhere to normative and objectifying beauty standards. Not fanservice

It's all that, and I fear for many of them, they realize they have a community that might just paint them as a gooner or 'diddy ahh blud' for trying to cover it. 😔

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy
