Kickstarter is banning adult content

@JenJen ouch

@JenJen

Oh I don’t need a minute, I can go zero to outraged on this in no time flat.

@JenJen Ah, another round of "the credit card companies told us not to" b.s.

[foolishowl@social.coop]

@JenJen I may have picked the wrong week to read an old science fiction dystopia about a totally Taylorized society.

[flamekebab@toot.wales]

@JenJen ugh, that's so dumb

[vwampage@xoxo.zone]

@JenJen uuugghhhhhhhhhhhhh me and my partner in pinup art got ourselves banned from a payment processor in 15 hours last time we tried

[nonobi@sakurajima.moe]

@JenJen that was bound to happen. I also think that patreon is gonna do that too.

@JenJen once again

[dickdiamond@mastodon.art]

@JenJen God! Jen, I'm sorry to hear that. It's just hypocrisy, driven by the "Holier than thou" crowd. It makes me sick.

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

At least I got like 24 hours of bliss with the PCI stuff being sorted before the Kickstarter news hit me.

There are two ways I could react to this:
1 - Be exhausted by the hostility and go lie down, maybe consider giving up on erotica as it's becoming more and more dangerous to be associated with it if you want to earn a living

oooooor

2 - Stay up all night, write script for a quick video and a PLAN going forward, get up early, do admin before brekkie, and then blow dust off my DIY Catstarter

Draw arms.

[jenesuispasgoth@pouet.chapril.org]

@JenJen seriously, this sucks big time. I honestly don't understand what the reasoning is behind this, from a purely financial/ethical standpoint (yes, I do mean ethical — they have been pretty good at letting sexy-but-not-creepy projects get funded).

Anyway, looking forward to your video.

Also, I'll give you a virtual support hug if you want one.

@JenJen Option 1 seems wildly out of character for you. So, I am quite confident betting on option 2.

The beatings will continue until there are no more uncovered (female presenting) nipples on the internet

@JenJen

I both like and dislike that my arm is so exploitable in this pic

[dickdiamond@mastodon.art]

@JenJen You would still bring beauty and joy to the world without the spice but that would be like asking a chef for a vindaloo without the heat.

If you have to do it for financial reasons, no one would blame you. We all have to do things we don’t want to do to survive.

A life of misery is no life at all. You and the world need your art to be what your brain needs it to be, not what some asshole in a suit says it should be.

Cry havoc! And let let slip the dicks of want!

@JenJen
It does feel like adult content creators are slowly being fenced into a place where nothing even vaguely porny can be monetised. I don't understand where this new puritanism is coming from, other than the, you know, orange fucktard and his army of religious fundamentalist lunatics. Clutching an assault rifle in one hand and a bible in the other whilst declaiming the 'decline of morality'.
It's a pile of steaming horseshit.

@Jaimieserotica @JenJen Hey guys I'm a relative newbie and I have no idea if this is relevant or useful, but have you tried reamstories.com

From what I've read they accept and indeed encourage adult content.

Like I said, take this for what it's worth, I'm a relative newbie.
