Mastercard and Visa, two of the biggest financial gateways globally, are in the line of fire following an online petition asking these companies to 'stop policing' and censoring legal adult-oriented fictional content.

The petition also addresses that the movement to this so-called 'massive content censoring' has been promoted by the 'Collective Shout', an Australian feminist group, which has called for removing games online which 'promote rape and incest'.

Seems like a honeypot

Nothing amazing ever happens here. Everything is ordinary.
♫ This staircase, it leads only
To some old pictures of you
Through an a-thousand-mile-long tube ♫

The ACLU petition is more likely to do something than this Change petition.

Apparently there currently is an effort to mass report Collective Shout's Xitter to slow down their growth. They must have caught wind of this and are hiding their posts from non approved followers.

Steam Campaign Timeline

Posted by Coralie Alison 25041sc on July 28, 2025

In response to false claims and misinformation about our campaign, we’re setting the record straight. Some have asked why we involved payment processors, and others have claimed we are responsible for Itch.io removing all NSFW content.

We raised our objection to rape and incest games on Steam for months, and they ignored us for months. We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond to us.

We called on Itch.io to remove rape and incest games that we argued normalised violence and abuse of women. Itch.io made the decision to remove all NSFW content. Our objections were to content that involved sexualised violence and torture of women.
