if we're talking one-off transactions, this is no problem. You simply get enough crypto for your purchase and spend it. You don't invest all of your money in it and you can circumvent the Visa/Mastercard garbage.

While that makes sense to logical people, there is a rabid right-wing movement in the US that in intent on defining any acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ is inherently "sexual".

And how is casually referring to heterosexual relationships then not sexual?

I assume it doesn't say because there are games with LGBTQ+ content that is sexual and ones where it is not.

This is like saying Sesame Street doesn't show hardcore porn and that's a violation of free speech.

"Free speech" doesn't entitle you to dictate policy over privately held companies. We spent four years trying to convince Trumpers of this. Be smarter.
