Although itch.io has an adult content filter that can be toggled in a user’s settings, indicating whether they want explicit content to be visible in search results and on the store page, the sudden deindexing of NSFW comics, zines, books, games, and other published products on the website means that unless users type in direct links to explicit products, they cannot access them. As is often the case when explicit content is removed en masse, LGBTQIA+, furry, and other content that is considered “obscene” by conservative groups has also been delisted or removed, as reported by The Transfeminine Review. This is especially dangerous in a time when politicians and others in power (i.e. influential billionaires) are actively dehumanizing and disappearing trans people, immigrants, and anyone who steps out of line with the current regime.

Credit card companies pressured Steam to remove some content that has incest/rape in it, specifically stuff that is easily searched because there is still content with it available on Steam.

Recently credit card companies pressured Itch to remove all NSFW.

The only common thread is that video game selling platforms are bending over to make it so you cant buy stuff where you see stuff that bends over probably because of religion n oppressed small penis syndrome or something.
