Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

That’s irrelevant in this case, since the outcry came from payment processing companies and a sex-negative, TERF-adjacent special interest group. Yes, not great, but not also tied to the people in power. Yet people are acting like the federal government has struck down itch.io itself with the rhetoric being pushed.
I will be much more concerned when elected Republicans start going after a designated porn site, like Pornhub or something, to scrub out the queer content or to shutter it altogether.
So when you invoke the genocide poem, you really need to be asking, “Who is the they in this situation?” If it’s not the government, I’m sorry, but it doesn’t apply and it’s offensive to the POCs and queer people facing real problems in the U.S. right now.
