This affects companies across the board, including itch.io which has also been removing “adult games” from their platform. It also isn’t just restricted to games, but anything people pay for that may violate the arbitrary standards set by payment processors. So, if they start targeting LGBTQ content, it would likely force LGBTQ media content underground worldwide. That doesn’t seem like a good thing in any context.
