Then why can I buy porn with my MasterCard right now?
Answer: because the company I buy Porn from uses CCBill, not Stripe. You know, like what the article says Itch.io is looking into.
There are specific payment processors for pornography. This is accepted because everyone knows that Porn gets more chargebacks (Hubands often have to chargebacks and pretend they didn't buy porn when their Wives find the charge). So there's a large degree of customer fraud in pornographic purchases.

Like Steam, Mastercard, Itch.io and even stripe themselves are pointing out: the problem is solidly the payment processor. Or Stripe in this specific Itch.io case.
Done. Now when another Manga / Doujin Library gets banned for too much porn on behest of MasterCard, that will be the time to complain. But for now, stand down. This issue is becoming a boy cried wolf like overreaction. Especially as the facts are finally coming in.
That’s moving the goalposts. The fact that Mastercard doesn’t even apply their own rules consistently is another, arguably even greater problem that you would probably be better off not mentioning. Stop deflecting and explain why Mastercard lied by omission by claiming they don’t do something that their own rules clearly state that they do. If you can’t do this, you’re not interested in the facts, you’re just whiteknighting for a poor defenseless international megacorporation with veto power over a huge portion of the world’s economy.
Is it really so hard for you to understand that Stripe is a different company than MasterCard and that Stripe also has a large degree of control of this situation?
That's my point. Stripe is at fault in this exact case.
Okay, you’re being deliberately obtuse here. More than one party can be at fault.
Also: Having failed to answer a simple question, I conclude that you concede the point and that your position is logically inconsistent. Please continue to post as it only continues to make you look less reasonable.
You have literally no response to my Stripe point despite multiple back and forth.
You know, the Stripe point I brought up in the very root comment at the top? And every time I try to guide you back on topic you've ignored my efforts and tried to talk about something different.
You aren't even talking about Itch.io this entire time despite the article and topic.
But yeah, take your win. I guess I'm too feebleminded to keep up with your gymnastics.
