While this is important, we REALLY need to pick one fight at a time. Doing this right now will allow the publishers to conflate the issues to paint the "Stop Killing Games" initiative as a bunch of perverts trying to mandate sex simulators.
It's not accurate, but it will happen and will kill momentum for boylth goals. Let's get "Stop Killing Games" through, then move on to the payment processors.
The payment processors also impact more than just Games, so it really should be marketed as such.
Honestly I think the second one is more important than the first. Companies will find a negative way to spin things regardless, but if we don't want regulation on payment processors to be industry-specific, which we shouldn't, then specifying one industry in the campaign name is just losing potential support from the start.
This is the real answer
'Stop killing games' and separately
'Stop letting payment processors decide what you can buy' (needs some punch-up) because this isnt the first time or place they've done this. Just the first time anyone's been willing to push back in any numbers. These christofascist scum. Need to be fought.
Maybe give businesses shit abouy accepting paypal. Like go into a place, look like you're gonna buy something, say at the register 'oh, you guys work with paypal?' And then just walk away (with your purchase if you're based and 'without a glimmer of remorse'-pilled, without if you're normal and sane)
