This. I'm so farking tired of privileged white men speaking out about things they do not understand, and particularly when the Do Not Understand topic is something like erotica which is, iiuc, largely produced and consumed by
non-privileged-white-men.
I don't try to ban whatever online porn the privileged white men watch; stop banning erotic literature.

The specific form of this ban comes from PayPal, not the credit card companies, and shows both conflation of fiction to reality (implying that fiction about incest is somehow illegal, and so on) and a lack of comprehension of the variety of tropes and literary styles used in fiction.

Thank you. And nice reference to "Twilight" there, assuming you meant to. If not, even better.
