There is no "religious oligarchy" dictating anything.

Feminist groups are responsible for the last few waves of censorship. Collective Shout was specifically named in the itch.io/Steam campaigns and the previous PornHub campaigns were waged by a litany of left-wing media sources hyperfocused on particular types of content (mostly rape, hypnosis and incest). Jewish groups applied similar pressure when people were uploading antisemitic porn.

"Religious" groups haven't been relevant to censorship discussions since the early 90s.

> Fewer and fewer people are hiding porn payments from their wives.

Normalizing leaving a paper trail of extramarital misdeeds is the sort of opsec disinformation you're supposed to use on enemies. Don't lie to your allies.

Anyone that wants out of their marriage that badly can just as easily come out as bisexual or propose redefinition of their marriage to embrace interracial cuckolding. Women love having such salacious leverage in divorce court.

> There is no such thing as vice content being higher risk. That's a diversion topic.

Such a diversion that there is an entire cottage industry of guides for prospective e-thots to mitigate chargeback risks?

Every commercial site I've ever seen engages in fraudulent billing or dark patterns. "$1 for a week, then only $24.99...billed weekly."

The chargeback rates are real when an industry exists to part horny fools from their money.

Collective Shout is a Christian anti-rights organization wrapped in feminist cloth.

The founder of Collective Shout previously successfully lobbied against mifepristone and opposed changes to legislation requiring pro-life pregnancy-counseling services to disclose their affiliations in their advertising.

In 2004, she founded the anti-abortion lobby Women's Forum Australia.
