There are lots of people poking at them with sticks. Every time someone does it they post who's doing it and show it as proof that they're being oppressed.

they've been doing it since the late 90s/early 00s. Visa and MC have a list of "rules" for porn companies and have had them for decades. Why the vast majority of adult entertainment companies use third party processors like CCBill to specifically deal with that shit.

These dumb fucks in Australia think they're ahead of the curve or doing "something that has never been done before" but nah man they probably did talk to Visa and MC but highly doubt they pushed them to anything. it was more like Visa/MC said "oh yeah we did this before...yeah we should probably apply what we did to Porn to the gaming industry."

Don’t forget ad companies! Those ad companies love a squeaky clean, family fun internet.

Because they're a bunch of fake feminist arseholes?

next they’ll probably want to ban LGBT content since it’s “clearly pornographic”

because MC and Visa are morons. According to them in porn 4 fingers and a thumb in a vagina is fine. as soon as you take said fingers and thumb, ball them into a fist, and then stick it in a vagina then they got problems with THAT and it's a no go.

They have more stupid rules. If you piss on a woman in Europe and film it then it's fine. If you piss on a woman in the US and film it then it's not fine. IF you take the footage of someone pissing on a woman IN Europe and SELL it in the US then that's fine. But Americans are not allowed to pee on Americans on US soil according to Visa and Mastercard.

here's another one: Incest Porn is not fine according to Visa and MC. "but I see that stuff all the time!" I hear you say dear reader. Yes, because according to MC/Visa you MUST establish that this is a step family relationship in the beginning BUT further into said video you can drop the "step-" moniker and start throwing around regular dads and moms and brothers and sisters all you like.

Oh it goes deeper than that.

Check out their FAQ. They’re cool with the dehumanization of males too. They’re only advocating for “dehumanization” against females.

A game about torturing women? Unacceptable.

A game about torturing men? Acceptable 👍

They mention some bullshit about how one happens more often and the other doesn’t so that justifies being hypocrites.

Don't forget Ruport Murdoch who's been pushing the right wing agenda across the country is an Australian export. This is not unusual from that country honestly.

e pluribus anus

Discover seems to be the best bet to me so far.

Discover is on the JCB, UnionPay, Troy and RuPay. (japan, China, turkey, and India respectively). Probably many more.

Similarly, a JCB card should work wherever Discover is. It's a billateral alliance.

Oh, and all Discover cards work on Diners Club International because those two networks completely merged.

Alliance members are not 100% acceptance. It seems like 95%+ acceptance though (most JCB will accept most Discover cards and vice versa, though you will get confused looks from the locals). It sounds like there's a lot of old equipment around the countries that break compatibility but cities and other urban areas with new equipment shouldn't have any problems.

I'll probably get a Discover card and start testing this out. I already have Visa and Mastercard but this new censorship issue seems serious enough to make me start supporting a 3rd place competitor.

Between Discover vs AmEx, it seems like AmEx is about elite club / customer service / returns etc. etc. nice features but I'm not sure if it's worth the price.

Discover is free of annual fees, reasonable cash back, mediocre costs for the merchants (better than AmEx anyway and comparable vs Visa) and a surprisingly huge offering of international compatibility (RuPay, JCB, UnionPay, etc Etc). It seems like the winner to me as a 3rd card to experiment with.

Leaving aside how gross it is, and separate from whether corporations should be the arbiters of morality:

Incest between parent and child, even if the offspring is of legal age of consent, would imply an insurmountable power differential as well as likely grooming. Incest between siblings would depend on the age differential and authority structure of the family. It's not a case of incest=abuse, but of how likely it could imply abuse. The challenge is nuance. The goal is harm reduction

I understand that for some incest porn is enjoyable, not because they would commit incest themselves, but because incest=forbidden=naughty=sexy. Maybe that's you? In any case, you asked how violence is implied, and that's my take
