Great way to make people start pirating games again. Just like movies and series saw a huge rise is pirating recently.

Its almost as if pissing people off has the opposite effect of what you want it.

Itch.io is how independent games are funded, not just distributed.

If you pirate what few NSFW games exist, you’re not likely to see any more, even on even more niche platforms.
