It is my belief that companies like itch.io would do the exact same thing—if and when payment processors demand they remove content that references Palestine, content that is anti-ICE, content that is pro-trans. If Visa and MasterCard said, "Sorry, you have to remove all references to trans people, that's Trump’s orders," they would do that, and they would do it in a heartbeat.
All content we host on itch.io will be removed from the platform out of solidarity. We will be re-working the zine rack and arcade pages to no longer need itch.io.
It does not escape me that those who speak the loudest about theory, about "revolutionary potential", about how "the time for revolution is not now, all we can do is read our books and share our youtube videos", have become the same media class that seeks to redirect our revolutionary energy towards imperialists like AOC. How many of your favorite streamers, speakers, and bluesky shills gave air to her rallies?
thank you! the website is just me cleaning and reorganizing files so i'm not hunting through fifty folders LOL
