I called both VISA and Mastercard.
MC was quick to hang up on me.
More interestingly though, the VISA agent explicitly said "yes" when I asked them if VISA is actively trying to censor online content.
I'll call them back today about this

Don't forget paypros are still censoring LEGAL content and hurting artists!
If you haven't gotten involved before, or fell off in your actions, now is the PERFECT time to start again

Call, call, call. Wear these foul corporate jerks out. Never be mean to an agent. Just make your distaste known and take up every second you can. Then, tomorrow, do it again. And again. And again. Until those at the top of these companies learn their place and stay out of people's business.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

Extremely cute and inoffensive SFW furry art account gets nuked by paypros. Come on, this is insane.
Get to those phones. Don't let them rest.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.
But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.
The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

word of advice to anyone reading: tokyo godfathers is never not free on whatever streaming service offers free titles. at this point it is easier to watch this on your own time than some of the canonized all-timers like charlie brown or grinch. heavily recommend making time for it
Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Okay so if you made a video and uploaded it for people to watch, why would you even be reading comments in the first place if all you’re going to do is hit an AI button to reply to them automatically lol

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
