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 🥲

Ah man, now how am I gonna kickstart this orgy?

[-] Tiral@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 160 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Religious extremists, you say?

[-] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 63 points 1 week ago

Sure but they don’t make the final decisions, visa and Mastercard, the money holders do

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Backed by their US based founders, dont put this solely on Australia.

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.

[-] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Tumblr was also caused by the nanny state behavior of Verizon when they bought it.

Is it an ad revenue thing or a purity thing? Either way, booooo.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 90 points 1 week ago

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

If you never know the motivation for something a company does, just know that the answer is always money.

Wait... Kickstarter had NSFW content?

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] deafboy@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A ball? 2 things internet has thought me...

  1. Never put a finger on the trigger if you're not going to kill someone
  2. Never put anything without a solid base in your rectum.
[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

*flared base

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).

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

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...

[-] Denixen@feddit.nu 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Denixen@feddit.nu 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

They can't stop people from using it but they can ban it from being used for things like paying debt, buying cars buying houses etc

[-] binux@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They probably think the US prohibition didn’t work because they just didn’t try hard enough

What counts as NSFW when you work in porn?

[-] M137@lemmy.today 22 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 days ago

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.

This is so fucking stupid. Has anyone ever thought work should be a whole lot cooler about things?

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

https://kuno.anne.media/

It's a donation platform that uses Monero, and therefore, even if, for some reason, they took down your page, you still could receive money.

[-] Kissaki@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

Can't even view the website without accepting the terms of service, titled "The Contract". Privacy Policy section says provided data is considered public domain.

I don't think that's lawful. Certainly doesn't feel like an inherently trustworthy platform.
