There is a pervasive ideological construction that someone either deserves autonomy or support, but that these are mutually exclusive.

This artificial construction is extremely present when it comes to discourses about age and ability. People will discuss taking away choices or censoring information as "protecting" young and disabled people, and will discuss taking away material support as a necessary exchange for decision making (e.g. "if you live under my roof, you live under my rules"--a threat that asserting autonomy comes at the cost of homelessness). This dynamic is so foundational to the oppression of children that even when applied to adult groups we use words like paternalism and infantilization to communicate that a group of adults is being treated "like children."

Whenever you demand autonomy, people use this as justification to withdraw resources and care. Whenever you express your need for resources and care, people use this as justification to withdraw bodily autonomy. In reality, all people deserve bodily autonomy and care. And in reality, oppressed people are routinely denied both.

Results from calling about the refusal to process payments for adult work on itch.io and Steam:

My script in each case hit the points of 'I'm a cardholder calling about the recent refusal of this company to process payments for works deemed adult, particularly in regards to the Steam and itch.io games marketplaces. This has been in response to protests made by a small religious group in Australia. Frankly, I don't find it [company]'s place to dictate how I spend my money, and I'm very concerned that this is in response to protests from a religious group that should have no legal power over me. If this continues I will be seeking an alternate way to make payments and will no longer be a customer of your brand.'

Visa

heard me out, thanked me for the feedback

asked me to email my feedback to 'askvisa@visa.com' so they can track it

advised to not include any identifying details such as card numbers etc in the email

Mastercard

the phone tree did not have a complaints section so I navigated the options as 'current cardholder' -> 'a question about benefits'

happily took my feedback after confirming my customer details (full name and contact number)

let me know that they had already received significant feedback about this issue and it had been 'escalated' and registered my feedback to add to the pile

I was concerned about feeling awkward about calling a company and basically being like 'yo I'm mad you won't let me buy porn' in terms of I don't think a poor customer service rep should have to deal with that, so I was planning on sprinkling in 'and LGBT content is frequently mislabelled as adult' in my script but I Forgor and it was fine. Each call was <1:30 and minimally painful. If you needed a sign to call, call today! Or, well, maybe email Visa.

Great, now they're amalgamating into some kind of bunny cerberus.

I guess I should be happy that they seem to be getting along again, at least...

This kinda shit is why your sister chases and nips you, Edith.

I will never understand why Edith is the one getting bullied, when Mildred is 2/3rds her size and built like a vitamin D deficient legless lizard.
