The activists trying to change MasterCard and visas policies dont want those companies to be influenced by activists?

We consumer activists don't want to have choice taken away by a comparatively small group who seems to be misrepresenting the issue and dictating the choices of consumers. The activism itself is not the problem.

Thats fair. I mostly agree but I dont have any good arguments to defend porn games themselves. Seems to depend on whether someone views porn positively or not.

This isn't about porn games. It's about payment processors deciding what we can and can't buy. That's not their business.

Its literally their business who they do business with.

[–] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

For context, I've never played a porn game nor do I have any interest in doing so. As others have said, it sets a very dangerous precedent for censorship via payment processors.
