Itch Now Shadowbanning Adult Content
Hello, fellow netrunners.
This is breaking news, so expect updated information and changes to happen quickly. But for now, all content on this platform that was in any way tagged as adult, nsfw, or 18+ (probably including tags like bara, we don’t yet know) have been shadowbanned. That means this content is essentially invisible and can not be searched for—you can only navigate to these pages directly.
I encourage everyone who is a fan of String Zero or FVNs in general to follow these games through alternative means. Below is a list of other places to keep track of String Zero.
This is likely a result of the anti-porn groups that recently lobbied Mastercard and Visa to crack down on adult content on Steam. Here’s some things you can do to fight back:
- Make others aware. If you’re an FVN fan, or a fan of adult games in general, make sure everyone knows what’s going so the games continue to get attention in spite of being hidden on itch.io.
- Pressure itch.io through their community mouthpieces, such as social media, their discord, etc. to rescind this policy.
- If you are in the USA, pressure your lawmakers to pass the “Fair Access to Banking” Act.
- You can sign this petition with the American Civil Liberties Union.
I will make updates as we know more.
