With the newer moves from Mastercard I honestly think we need to hammer it into content creators in progressive spaces that they cannot keep the luxury of ignoring the issue of payment processors. We shouldn't had when it started and Sex workers sounded the alarm but they need to wake up now.
That's why we need more big people to start taking on this topic regardless of how icky they may feel, the bigger a ruckus we make the easier it is to fight against it and it's really fucking infuriating how just a few have even approached the topic, specially in journalism.
Complete breakdown of the gaming press on this topic has led to folks like OP fending alone
