I hope those "Payment processors" get vored alive!

Absolutely fucked up.

Oh wow. Itch is also involved even though I would assume they have less than 1% of Steam's gross revenues.

This is how crypto payments go mainstream

Goddamn cookers the lot of them. Perhaps I'll make an abortion game on Itch in protest.

I wonder who major porn sites use as payment processors? (I don't know the answer, I'm just saying...)

What else do people use itch.io for?

I know this is more of a serious thing, but I was thinking that I kinda hope these payment processors try to ban some big European company over some puritanical bullshit and then Europe responds with threatening a complete ban on them to put them in line. Ain't no way any payment processor would ever risk being banned in one of the largest markets in the world.

Is there an alternative to those payment processors? I feel like using those are just not good if they go down that road.

This organization is nuts.

This is from their FAQ:

Why don’t you include men in your mission statement? It’s not right to objectify men either.

A:

While both men and women can be sexualised, it is primarily women who are being objectified, and women who are far more likely to be negatively impacted by it as demonstrated earlier.

When men are sexualised in media and advertising, they are not typically demeaned, portrayed as decorative objects or posed as vulnerable and submissive in the ways that women are. Men are also rarely dismembered and presented as a collection of sexualised or individual body parts. Instead, men are depicted as hyper-masculine and strong. The sexualising and objectifying treatment of men may serve to enhance their power and status rather than to reduce it.

Having said that, we do not support ‘equal opportunity’ objectification. We encourage individuals to speak out against objectification including when men and boys are subjected to it.

I kept wondering why their focus was only on “girls, girls, girls” all over the place and everything was pink.

So media involving the dehumanization of men is totally cool with them. A game about raping men would be totally fine and no issues there because it’s not “typical”. Just don’t do anything to the girlys.

As if the sexualization of men doesn’t have a negative impact on men as a whole…telling men that the only way to be sexy is to be masculine and strong isn’t at all damaging to them? How does that make any bit of fucking sense? Not all men can live up to those unrealistic depictions with a 6 pack and big muscles nor should all men aspire to be that.

The fuck is wrong with these people…
