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.

then to fund it you just find any reputable crypto exchange that supports sending Monero in your region (I used kraken before in the eu). By design in Monero the platform (which does have to do KYC probably) doesn’t know anything about where they sent the money. Transactions are not traceable in Monero.
so why should anyone have any faith in a crypto exchange not doing the exact same shit as paypal? if they know their customers and if they can plainly see that one of their customers accepts monero for something they don’t like, they don’t have to prove that any money has gone to them, they could simply lock them out of any future exchanges just by way of pointing out that they advertise a monero address (or whatever) even if they can’t link it back to them
That’s why you move the XMR to your wallet first, and do not send it directly. The crypto exchange doesn’t know anything about where you’re sending the money if you do that.
They can’t see anything about Monero by design. There’s a leaked cia/fbi/? presentation out there of them working to trace Monero for a single purchase, on an older version of the protocol.
