This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Website/social starts, queers, LGTBQ+ and furries go there to find refuge from the mainstream oppression. There is fun, art, and porn. Sex drives traffic. Website becomes important. Company see the cash, they want investors or sell but big investors in the west are Christo fascist so no sex anymore.
Repeat π₯²
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...
Its such a good thing to see a pretty normal part of the human experience get ripped out of every place humans gather because it makes the money holders uncomfortable.
Is not even money holders. It's those small but loud "Christian" groups, like that one from Australia that kicked up a shit storm with Steam not long ago.
Sure but they donβt make the final decisions, visa and Mastercard, the money holders do
Backed by their US based founders, dont put this solely on Australia.
Religious extremists, you say?
Shh. You'll anger your future shareholder king!
This dystopia is sofa king boring.
For those who haven't read it: it's Stripe, their payment processor, behind this. Kickstarter isn't doing a Tumblr; they're just handling it like amateurs, rather than just yeeting those puritanical morons.
Tumblr was also caused by the nanny state behavior of Verizon when they bought it.
What counts as NSFW when you work in porn?
Drugs? Taxes?
Taxes truely are the unsafest thing for work
Unless you're a politician. Then it is infact safe for work.
Ah man, now how am I gonna kickstart this orgy?
Just reply to all Craiglist Missed connections. Half won't stay but 6+ is still a good time. Provided you don't get nauseated by random smells.
the puritanical mania we've arrived at in 2026 was not in my bingo cards. sigh.
Well with the completion of the project 2025 I can completely see how we got here I mean history does relay itself
Is it an ad revenue thing or a purity thing? Either way, booooo.
Probably a bit of both. Usually it's the payment processors being lobbied by vocal "Christian" groups.
It's Stripe. The CEO has ties with Palantir and Elon Musk and wants all porn to be banned.
Ironic, 100% chance he's a pedo
"Nobody gets adult porn if I can't get my pedophile porn!"
Behold the results of negotiating with the terrorists that we call evangelicals
Canβt Kickstarter just find another payment processor?
America has a monopoly on payment processing worldwide. EU needs to step up their game
Hahahahaha no
Even when you start dogging into non America processors they still use the visa/mastercard network more often then naught to some degree and are held to their rules.
You have to stick to very small processors that rarerly ever actually do anything across their own countries borders. Making them literally less then useless for a company like kickstarter.
Large scale international processors basically don't exist in a fashion thats useable.
Lots of nsfw sites like manyvids use bitcoin or others. It works just fine once you get used to it. No government or bank controls bitcoin, making it and sites using it immune to shutdown like this. They'd have to take down the actual site and even that pirate bay and others have shown is futile.
Wait... Kickstarter had NSFW content?
I know that there's the occasional spicy comic or photoshoot, and I think I recently came across a kind of squishy ball you could insert rectally to make anal sex less messy. So there was some stuff at least.
A ball? 2 things internet has thought me...
*flared base
I saw an interview with the founders not too long ago. Itβs golf ball sized, soft/firm thing and itβs designed to be pushed in. Iβll leave the details out, but it is engineered to dissolve after a few hours. Itβs meant as a way to bypass douching prior to the act.
Found the YT link. Itβs 30 minutes of education and entertainment.
I hope some NSFW only kickstarter clone comes from this, it'd be both really fun to browse and I think it'd make some cool, fun, weird etc. products real.
That will never happen unfortunately. Kickstarter got rid of NSFW because Visa and Mastercard are run by American religious extremists who want to criminalize porn.
You'd need a whole different international payment system that isn't run or influenced by religious extremism.

"For all the hardest projects"
They probably think the US prohibition didnβt work because they just didnβt try hard enough
