ONE TRANS GIRL'S SAGA OF TRYING TO DELETE HER OWN ACCOUNT OFF OF ITCH.IO FOR ALL TIME.............................. ========================================================= === Presented in Gopher form, because why tf not. === ========================================================= badgraph1csghost Aug 7 2025 07:39 PDT Delete account request for badgraph1csghost Itch.io's recent actions are no longer compatible with the LCI brand's mission (viz. restriction and purge of NSFW and LGBT+ content). | itch.io Support (Itch.io) | Aug 14 2025 21:52 PDT =--> 7 days later! | | Hello | | Thanks for reaching out. As a rule, we prefer not to | delete developer accounts that have made sales, as | deleting the account would also remove their projects' | files from customers' download pages, thereby removing | customers' access to the content that they have paid | for. | | We have instead placed your account in a restricted | mode. This will prevent new sales of your projects, | but it will allow the customer's who have already | bought your projects to retain access to their | download pages. | | If you want to proceed with deleting the account | entirely, we first ask that you provide either an | alternative means for your customers to download the | items they have bought, or we ask that refunds are | provided to those who have made purchases. | | Thank you, please let us know if you need further | assistance | badgraph1csghost | Aug 16 2025 17:23 PDT =--> 9 days later! (I forgot | to check | my email | on Friday) | | That makes sense but for 2 readily apparent reasons: | | 1. I uploaded nothing but music albums to your | database, all of which I have already removed or | restricted. | 2. Only a scant handful of sales were ever made. | | I have already informed the people who bought my | albums of my intent to terminate my Itch.io account | and have provided them with alternative means of | accessing my music. I say again, please delete my | account with all speed. | | Tina Rosenthal | Composer, LCI Music Lincoln | itch.io Support (itch.io) | Aug 22 2025 16:55 PDT =--> 17 DAYS LATER!!! | | Hello | | I've closed your account. Tell me if you need | anything else. | | Thanks ========================================================= HOLY GODDAMN! If my account had been determined by their shadow metrics to be NSFW (read as "trans on main"), I would have been gone in an hour. However, when I come with the revelation that I want to shut my own account down of my own free will, they waste all this time, they stall, they slow down the process, they turn a 1-email affair into 2 emails, they restrict my account which is what they wanted to do in the first place, but I beat them to the punch more than a week ago. No doubt they didn't want to admit that bending knee to this faux-feminist transphobic anti-gay PAC was having any adverse reaction from their developer base. Heavens forfend that anyone publishing on their shit-ass plat- form might be trans or gay or pan or whatever else let- ter of that alphabet soup who might take the slightest hint of offence at their behaviour. The moral of this story: All game publishers are bad and Itch.io can fuck itself up the arse and back from here 'til doomsday. * * *
