As much as I like sleeze, the BIG one is wether LGBTQ+ is targeted

This is the biggie, but I don't know much here. I guess it is likely that the puritans would like to go after LGBTQ, but are we there yet?

While I am disappointed that the site didn't speak up about the weird way the Visa/MasterCard duopoly is playing global censors, I don't think the change in what can be shown is all that radical. That said I think itch.io ought to give us an estimate at how long the sleeze shadowban will last.

I've seen people anecdotally mention that queer games are being impacted more by the changes. And the types to go around mass reporting games are also the types to intentionally seek out more LGBTQ+ themed games to report, so while the rules aren't intentionally targeted towards queer games, it puts them under more of a threat. Since mass reports are usually enough to get things taken down, even if no rules are actually broken.
