Title: Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams
Post by: Redaktion on August 09, 2025, 21:27:08
Mastercard's ties to the esports world have led to more evidence of censorship. A source leaked messages from the Riot Games sponsor to livestream channels during the Valorant Champions Tour. The payment processor asked moderators to delete messages accusing it of forcing the ban of Steam games.

There are plenty of games with no nudity or violence which have been banned.  They do have progressive story lines with trans characters.  This is just the far right book bans moving on to the same targets but in games now.

Why would a payment processor object to it? There is a hidden agenda and we need to find out the truth about whose interest is Visa and MasterCard is representing.

please show us ANY examples of the left banning/burning books from libraries or banning anything that ISN'T hate speech or hate crimes? who has used the courts to BAN gender affirming care, abortion, and drag performances across multiple states in the US? who created nearly THREE HUNDRED pieces of legislation banning trans friendly gender care in 2024? was it the left? yeah that's what I thought. what has the left actually successfully banned that is specific to the lifestyle of the right? have a list of laws, policies, or regulations and historical proof/sources pointing to these instances? because I will gladly wait the decades or centuries for you to try and find even 5 examples because I know there aren't any. you people are destroying this country with fascism and authoritarian rule to enrich billionaires while even your own poor rightwing populace dies from economy decay due to trump tariffs and we have the receipts to prove your ban/block/hate heavy agenda meanwhile no left-leaning politician has ever banned things like churches or being straight or cishet media or tradwife/forced birth suburban family living from the public.
