No it isn’t. These are the first steps towards declaring queer existence to be pornographic, and then banning queer content from every platform entirely. I’m sorry if this comes off as harsh, but I am so fucking tired of seeing this take from people who should know better. Please think a few more steps ahead as to what this actually means and what their real goals are. Reactionaries consistently wield payment processors like a club to deplatform anything they don’t like. They’ve been doing this for basically decades at this point.
