As I'm sure many of you are aware of by now, Itch has currently removed NSFW content from being searchable on their platform. HOWEVER - this does not just affect NSFW content. They have also been delisting anything that is LGBTQ, Trans, or Queer - including SFW.
For those of you unaware, here is a link to what Itch has to say about it:

TLDR; NSFW content is unsearchable as they devise a way to comply to payment processors. Tinted Sands has been affected by this.
What you can do:
Please take some time to sign the petition and if you're feeling social you can call master card/visa and let them know ✨ politely ✨ that you do not support this move.
This has already been affecting SWF LGBTQIA creators on multiple platforms, not just NSFW creators who deserve to make a living doing what they want.
