They should not have banned so many books, doujin, anime, and games! They are coming for it all and if you let this precedent stand we may lose our entire civilization right here! Now is the time to act or forever hold your peace.

The cartel censored the world on July 16th with their creative takeover of Steam. This is an attack on the entire world and essentially says that the cartel is more powerful than any nation on the planet. No one should have the power to arbitrarily ban anything they want and they certainly shouldn't be able to do it overnight -worldwide- and without any democratic due process at all. This is morally wrong and EVERYONE HATES THEM WITH EXCELLENT REASON!

Valve recently responded to a query that it wasn't MasterCard that directly gave them an ultimatum to remove adult content per se, but middle men processors and acquiring banks in between that legally have to play by MasterCard's rules and terms of service.

This gives MasterCard plausible deiability, since they're technically telling the truth when they say that THEY themselves never pressured any of these companies to pull adult games. However, it was very much other inbetween companies that are forced to follow MasterCard's Rule 5.12.7 that did, so it's still the fault of MasterCard, especially since Valve tried to communicate with them directly to no avail.
