This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

My eyes are up here

a two-panel cartoon of Venom Snake and Quiet in The Phantom Pain. Quiet is wearing her usual bikini camo and Venom also is bare chested. In the first panel, Quiet walks up to Venom silently. In a smaller panel captioned LIVE MOTHERBASE REACTION, Revolver Ocelot, Kazuhira Miller and DD look on. In the second panel, Quiet honks Venom's pecs while imagining to press her face on them. Venom is blushing, but pleased. In the reaction panel, DD's ears perk up, Ocelot giggles in amusement, and Kaz is outraged

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

The dog I adopted from the shelter 10 years ago was probably the best "starter" dog I could have asked for! Very mellow (too much actually--she needed to relearn how to "be a dog") , totally house trained and not at all destructive. I definitely recommend at least having a look at local shelters!

She’s in surgery right now, I’ve never been and probably never will be a religious man, but please pray for her

I HATE having to do this again, but emergencies dont care for timing

my oldest cat is currently hospitalized with a possible intestinal blockage, and is most likely going to need surgery

if you could spare a couple bucks to help me help her, I'd appreciate it a lot

the powers that be want us ashamed about sex, ashamed about porn and other niche expression because that means we cannot advocate for ourselves, we cannot talk to those around us and find solidarity

we have to push back against that! we cannot give in to that shame!
