With all thia drama around payment processors pressuring Steam to drop certain extreme NSFW games, crypto seems strangely absent from the conversation

For those out of the loop, Steam and Itch.io recently delisted many titles from their platforms, these titles primarily consist of NSFW porn games, specifically ones featuring extreme content like rape and incest. The removal was in response to payment processors requesting higher standards, specifically VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal.

While I personally don't mind these platforms deciding not to platform this kind of content, this isn't the first time we've seen censorship via payment platforms. Both Gab and Parler found themselves struggling to get payment processors and server hosting to allow them to use their services, and PornHub a few years back was forced to remove all videos from unverified creators and implement more stringent verification requirements by their payment processors.

I've seen a lot more outrage this time, mostly people finally recognizing that maybe this is a slippery slope, but what's been frustrating to see is most of the call to action has been to try to convince payment processors to change their policies.

What I haven't seen is crypto being acknowledged as the best path forward. What I've seen is a recognition that we have a cartel of payment processors, and if they choose to censor something, there's almost no alternative options to continue to be funded, but no mention of crypto adoption as a way to fix that.

With stablecoins finally receiving official recognition and acceptance, it seems to me that more and more platforms should begin considering moving to them as a way to stop being beholden to the payment processors.
