Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles

Clickbait doesn’t explain properly - the reason queer games were removed from Itch.io is because (and this is another issue) they were one of many who labeled anything LGBTQ+ as NSFW or adult-themed. They were still banning under 18s from learning and experiencing diverse life. Romance ≠ sexuality ≠ identity but slow people don’t understand that.

So they are going to ban Baldurs Gate 3?

100% they would try to ban anything with any sort of romance in it if they could.
Collective Shout is a group of anti-porn nutjobs hiding behind a feminist facade.
Surprisingly, not American, the Australians decided to join the puritanical bullshit this time.

Yeah, somehow I doubt this is just an unfortunate unintended consequence.

I keep people repeating this, but where are you getting this information from? I’ve never seen this claim before, and I’ve not noticed this happening when I’ve used itch in the past either?

18+ might be a legislative requirement in some countries too, for example Russia required it since 2013, not sure if there are more countries that have the same law, but I’m sure Russia isn’t alone in their backward ways.

they were one of many media hosters who labeled anything LGBTQ+ as NSFW.
Source? This doesn’t appear to be correct.

While I agree, a lot of these banning campaigns do try to connect LGBTQ+ as NSFW to justify their actions.
