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.

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.
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.
Can’t Kickstarter just find another payment processor?

America has a monopoly on payment processing worldwide. EU needs to step up their game
Hahahahaha no
