Stripe sucks so much as a company. For one, they classify all businesses catering to LGBTQIA+ clientele as 'Adult Services' and drop them as customers.

But even worse, they do so in a particularly destructive way. The accept the business as a customer at first, and then suddenly withdraw service without warning, leaving the business scrambling to find an alternate credit card processor.

yeah, well - true fact: Stripe does ton of Adult Services shit - they just hide it by farming it out through shady payment services like https://www.bankingcircle.com/ that proxy it for them so it "looks legit". that way the various payment providers can claim legitimacy by saying "stripe is one of our biggest customers" and stripe can say "we dont do shady shit"
