I'm sorry but when a payment processor has pretty much become critical infrastructure, at what point are they legally required to process legal payments ?
Is there no regulations surrounding the big two, Visa & Mastercard that ensure they're not exercising excessive control over legal content?
That is the whole point of the federal government not offering electronic payments and money accounts as infrastructure. The leaders get to use businesses to selectively target whoever or whichever populations whenever they want, with no legal recourse. Same with electronic identification.
Sexual gratification makes you feel good, we can't support that - think of the children. But we'll happily continue to process payments for torture and murder simulators.
Also, funny you bring up guns. The payment processors caused issues for legal gun, ammunition, and accessories purchases before the current NSFW content issue. It's such a problem that firearm friendly credit card processing companies are a thing now.

I'll give them props for coming up with a creative solution to get around this instead of just giving up.

Insanity.
