Kickstarter reverses sexual content ban after outcry
Kickstarter is walking back recent changes to its content guidelines, which users lambasted as blanket censorship.
Kickstarter announced the new adult-oriented content guidelines last week, prohibiting pornographic imagery, projects and reward tiers tied to sexual pleasure or gratification, and marketing of products designed for "insertion and penetration."
The changes were made to better reflect policies set by Stripe, the platform's payment processor.
Kickstarter had previously come under fire for similar restrictions on sex toy companies, which were later amended. But as of last week, those policies were back on the table. Indie companies and artists who rely on the crowdfunding site decried the move, arguing that the new guidelines limited creative expression and impacted their businesses. Many suggested moving to competitor sites like Patreon.

Last week, we noted Kickstarter’s new content guidelines, which had some pretty weird new additions, including a prohibition on, among related things, projects whose rewards could provide “sexual pleasure.” The rules exempted “sexual wellness products that are not designed for insertion or penetration and are not marketed primarily for sexual gratification.” Those rules have now been eliminated and the company has restored an earlier version of its guidelines.

Kickstarter Reverse Ferrets, Apologises Over Mature Content Guidelines
Kickstarter performs a full reverse ferret, apologises over its new Mature Content Guidelines and goes back to the previous rules
Two weeks ago, Bleeding Cool reported on major changes at Kickstarter, regarding the types of stories and content they stated that comic book ceatore creators could openly promote on the site, as a result of demands of their payment processor, Stripe, and published a "Mature Content Creator Guide. Stating that "romance and spicy literature, including comics/erotic comics" were still allowed on the platform, but only if all project page imagery complies with new standards, warning against projects "where the primary value offered is access to explicit content" and that censorship bars, blur effects or pixelation will not make otherwise prohibited imagery acceptable. Basically, it seems, anything that some might consider a little bit rude, even if it's censored on the page, couldn't appear in a campaign pitch. Then they started cancelling campaigns directly… and directly blaming Stripe.
