Wish I could meet Kyoko Sakura and let her know that her family's murder was absolutely not her fault and her father was actually just a horrible person and she should've never been put into that kind of situation in the first place. It's just so sad to me that she genuinely believes it's her fault when it really isn't. She was raised in what was basically a cult (or the beginnings of one) ostracized from knowing any form of normal and her father was literally willing to let his family starve because of him rather than... idk doing literally anything else. Move to a place where they won't be outcasted and get a new paying job or something.

It's also really sad to think there are people like Kyoko in real life raised in situations where they think their horrible parents are good people and forced to suffer because of them, and blaming themselves for whatever misfortunate events befall them.

Most of Society (MOS): "Sweetheart aren't you too old to be a tomboy now? It's ok to be feminine, you can be a girly girl it doesn't make you soft and weak you know! Come on, where's your pride in being a girl? Look, just let me help you wear some makeup I'm sure you love it you don't need to be shy you're so pretty. Do you think you need to look like a boy to like girls? Is that it? It's ok you can be a girly girl and still like girls. Look at this cute dress I bought you after you said no! Honestly, you are so pretty you'll love this I'm sure. Gosh you're just so shy about being feminine I assure you being feminine is ok! You're seriously just too old to be doing this tomboy nonsense."

MOS after you transition: "It's actually perfectly fine to be a tomboy actually. Did you know you can still be a girl and have short hair and wear trousers? You can be a girl who likes girls, is that it, you just feel ashamed about being a lesbian/bi? You should feel more confident in being a girl who likes boy stuff it's not that bad. Actually I love butches and gnc women and tomboys, aren't they great, look at these examples of masc women who are still WOMEN and have not become trannys men by mistake. Seriously masc women are the BEST I love masc women I'm a little bit masc myself/a woman in my family or whom I am friends with is a little bit masc and that's normal you don't need to be a boy about it."

Hmm, it's almost like the two things are connected and inherently about misogynistic and transphobic restriction of anyone born/assigned female...

So the new itch.io guidelines are out and they are both predictably bad and also quite unpredictably bad. There's so much to go over here but here are some of the highlights:

First we have the broadly worded content restrictions. So much of this is just strictly bad for several reasons (for example, you cannot have a NSFW game that doesn't even fetishize rape but has rape be an important thematic element under these new rules) but my personal favorite is that these are so broad that huge swaths of content are just banned from itch.io. You like VNs of monster girls having sex? Sorry, but your favorite spider girl VN is animal-related, we cannot prove that you don't want to fuck spiders so its gone.

(a real problem anyone thinks about??????)

Game where you can transformed by magical artifacts and sometimes fucked? Sorry, that's non-consensual content. Banned. You cannot be transformed into a maid against your will. You also cannot have your protagonist call an older woman "mommy" because likeeeee that's incestual right?

"Minor-presenting" what the fuck does this mean. Genuinely. If a grown woman wears a fetish uniform is that minor presenting??? What the fuck are you talking about.

Also by the way if they feel your content is "too bad" for their platform, which includes a list of conditions incredibly broad to contain things like "a woman who likes being gagged during sex", they will just steal your revenue. No no no not just the revenue from the work in question. All of it. This makes any NSFW work a ticking timebomb, especially since itch.io doesn't have the fucking staff to deal with all of this! There's no second chances. You are not protected against fraudulent report or our dumb as fuck employees.

itch.io right now is just not a safe platform for NSFW content, and honestly, it really should be said, a fair swath of SFW content too. Don't use it, find alternative ways to survive in the market right now.

It's not going to be easy, but it's necessary. Here's a link to an article going over some solutions. I cannot personally vouch for any of these in particular but you need to do what you gotta.

Also, harass VISA and Mastercard. Phone calls over emails. Ruin their workflow. Do it for weeks, don't give up.
