   What's up with Steam and Itch.io suddenly vanishing all those games and books and art and stuff?
   
   https://archive.is/2LZ5T#selection-1701.0-1710.0
   
   Proximate cause: Visa and Mastercard deciding they have to act as global fun censors.
   
   Distal cause: Some random group of Australians called Collective Shout who have for years believed they have to act as global fun censors.
   
   >As a result of Collective Shout's actions, in tandem with the payment processors, over 20,000 games, books, comics, and other creative works - confirmed via the Internet Archive - functionally ceased to exist on the site (though purchased content remains in users' libraries so long as it doesn't violate itch.io's new guidelines), imperiling the creators who depend on sales from itch.io. In addition to NSFW content, notable projects that didn't have the tag were caught up in the purge as well.
   
   So we doing Shimoneta now?
   
   >Whenever a platform announces a blanket ban on adult content, LGBTQ+ creators are almost always disproportionately affected, harming queer artists and invariably queer people.
   
   This is true, because "queer" artists and "queer" people are sex-obsessed lunatics with various paraphilias.

     @Aether back in the 80's and 90's the founders cult and the belgian beast case started making headlines and exposed jewish practices to the masses.
     as a response zog started what we call the satanic panic, a crackdown on everything to misdirect peoples attention away from what jews are doing.
     and now they are doing the same thing again though a lot more hamfisted and incompetent.
     the new wave of internet censorship laws and payment processors interfering in commerce is zogs way of moving peoples attention away from eppstein and everything israel has been doing.
     just look at the collective shout group that startet at all, look at there logo that is being used everytime they are mentioned like its a fucking rallying cry.

     Dude all the stuff with the *Finder's cult, McMartin preschool, and pedophilic and violent crimes with Satanic undertones in major American cities were the so-called Satanic panic. The ex-law enforcement guys in 70's and 80's who brought up these issues to the American public were not distracting the public, but neither did they ever saw these things as Jewish and were never going to make a connection to the Jews. The Jew-owned media didn't care and perpetuated the idea of a irrational and false "panic" so people would STOP noticing the crimes, being one step away of exposing the insane proportion of Jews, pedophiles, and pedophilia Jews in the American elite that existed just as much then as now. There was no "getting Americans distracted". The Dutroux affair was never a part of that purely American phenomenon. Neither the Panic nor the 1996 Dutroux affair had anything to do with questions and calls for censorship in 90's America regarding violent media and this new medium called the video game, calls which especially came out after the Columbine High School Massacre and not anything else.

     @SuperSnekFriend @Aether i honestly disagree.
     remember those were the times when zog was outright killing everyone including politicians for getting to close to there secrets.
     the amount of cults and crime networks that were uncovered in the 80's must have made zog concerned at the least.
     and the wave of random censorship that followed was there way of countering that.
     and the shotgun approach of censoring fucking everything that they could think off was the obfuscation from the censorship of the few things that mattered.
     the 80's were not the 24 hour news cycle we have these days where you could burry a story just by suppressing it for a few days.
     a major scandal or outrage had people talk about it for months or even years.
     for example remember for how long people talked about princes dianas death.
     and the eppstein thing has become so big that it is now mirroring that.
     i believe thats why they are now doing this coordinated effort of once more censoring everything they can think off.
     do you honestly think zog gives 2 shits about what gets sold on steam?
     no they are making a shitton of noise to distract the masses while using there new internet id system to identify and go after everyone that keeps the jew in the publics memory.
     the internet has been a danger to them for more then 2 decades.
     thats why they have tried there idiotic web 3.0 thing where facebook was supposed to turn the internet into highly curated vr that would have ben little more then a new version of tv.
     but that fundamentally failed, so now they are using the heavy handed approach.
     lets hope they have once more gone too far and things will get a lot worse for them then it does for us.
