Itch.io & Master Card/Visa BS - We need your voices!
Added 2025-07-24 16:24:42 +0000 UTCAs I'm sure many of you are aware of by now, Itch has currently removed NSFW content from being searchable on their platform. HOWEVER - this does not just affect NSFW content. They have also been delisting anything that is LGBTQ, Trans, or Queer - including SFW.
For those of you unaware, here is a link to what Itch has to say about it:
https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content
TLDR; NSFW content is unsearchable as they devise a way to comply to payment processors. Tinted Sands has been affected by this.
What you can do:
Please take some time to sign the petition and if you're feeling social you can call master card/visa and let them know β¨ politely β¨ that you do not support this move.
This has already been affecting SWF LGBTQIA creators on multiple platforms, not just NSFW creators who deserve to make a living doing what they want.

Comments
I am happy to help any way I can. Along with signing the petitions, I called Mastercard and Visa and sent an e-mail complaint to Visa at the recommendation of the representative I spoke with over the phone.
