    It’s legal until someone challenges it in court and they say it isn’t. Sue.

    Let’s make a community run payment processor then. We’ll valiantly process porn payments.

      Having worked in the payment industry, there is a lot of work to be done.

      Even if you use the EMV standard, which almost all of the payment processor are based on, the challenge is to interface with the banks and making sure that every cards and terminals follow your standard.

      And that’s if you can convince banks to even accept you payment standard in the first place.

    This comic goes from 2020 to 1984, was this comic originally about idiots that compared wearing a face mask to wearing a jew star?

      There was a reddit sub where they take in unfunny comics (usually sexist) and then edit them to be funny. That’s how this actually became a meme.

      Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

    So, this means that pretty much any paid adult content can’t accept visa, right? Or are they just stomping in the small creators for not being profitable enough?

    Looking at you, OnlyFans…

      OnlyFans felt the pressure not too long ago. It’s just when they announced they were banning porn, they realized they didn’t have anything else. So they reversed course and somehow can still take payments.

      For now, they are targeting more niche “taboo” kinks like incest and bdsm. But as we’ve seen time and time again with bigoted, puritanical christofascists, they will not stop there. Next, they come for the queer content. My guess is furry stuff is next under the bad faith argument of “bestiality”, then more standard queer content, including tame non-erotic content. Finally, all erotic content.

      Remember, everything sexual is sinful and evil unless its a straight white cis Christian married couple having joyless missionary sex for the purposes of procreation only.

        They’re already attacking furry content featuring “animal-esque genitalia”, as there were people who thought that was “zoophilic”. However, I still remember how much anime fans needed to fight, so that kemonomimi (catgirls, etc.) wouldn’t been labeled as “zoophilic”, which might be the source for the furry/anime divide in the west.

    Capitalism is actually the fix for this one for once. Just be the only payment processor that lets you buy anything legal. Demand for your services guarantees your success and the others die out.

    Let’s see if republicans still like capitalism now.

      Ah, and here is where the commenter learns that “capitalist” competitors have legislated their opponents out of business, bought them out, or colluded with them.

      Oh, and it’s not just payment processors.

      Capitalism isn’t the fix, banks are in cahoots with visa/mastercard and they will absolutely shut down any competition.

    So, why doesn’t some other payment processor step in to fill in the demand gap that the others are willfully abdicating?

    I wonder how long this will last. The NSFW industry is insanely huge. If the current payment processors cut it off, that leaves a giant gap in the market just waiting to get filled (😏).

    If they hold firm on this, it might just be a rare opportunity for a new (and hopefully better) payment processor to enter the market.

    Or maybe just wider crypto adoption, idk.

        Collective Shout happened, an australian organisation decided to wage global war on anything NSFW in games (so far), their key talking points are allegedly being feminist and anti-exploitation of women.

        i wonder if they asked the women they’re saying they’re protecting if they want that “protection”, or if they’re imagining that women just don’t make NSFW art

    I don’t get it. Will they also ban sex shops, adult cinemas and every other offline adult entertainment thing that exist?

        oh, actually, there is a third option - very popular and widespread in Poland - BLIK - let’s hope that a) they won’t bend to the same bullshit b) they take the chance to go global.

        BLIK is really nifty, you go to your banking app, generate a code, give the code to the website/seller, confirm in the app, and payment made.

        and all you’ll have to say (obviously steortyping here) is that if BLIK does the same as Visa & Mastercard, the Witcher & Cyberpunk will have to be banned due to adult content, instant win and security of NSFW media forever
