Back in 2019 we covered the censorship that was hurting the sex toy industry. One of the offenders was Kickstarter, which later changed its ways and became more welcoming.
But it seems like the company has regressed. “Sexual pleasure” is now a banned concept for rewards, though Kickstarter says pleasure might be fine as long as the product is not designed for “insertion or penetration.” I want to know what’s going on over at Kickstarter HQ but I fear nobody is having fun.

I fund a ton of queer yaoi/yuri visual novels. This sucks. I hate the trend of absolute puritanical governing (which is just used to attack queer people).
If it helps it’s the payment processors doing this, not Kickstarter themselves. They are somewhat being held to ransom like a few of the other places that stopped allowing sexual nsfw content. Murder and mayhem, as usual, totally okay. Boobies bad. Death and hate totally fine…
They can and should ban the currency of it at this point. Destroy all of that “wealth” and make recognize it as illegal. If nothing else it stops people from being forced into using it the way cc does
It is peer to peer, you cannot ban or remove it, it is here forever. There are no central points to remove. It is individuals networking with other individuals.

This is what Bitcoin was invented for. No government or bank can control it.
