What counts as NSFW when you work in porn?

Can’t Kickstarter just find another payment processor?

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 minutes ago

Hahahahaha no

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.

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.

Dickstarter

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 98 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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 20 points 9 hours ago

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

the puritanical mania we've arrived at in 2026 was not in my bingo cards. sigh.

[–] mangobanana@discuss.online 5 points 1 hour ago

Well with the completion of the project 2025 I can completely see how we got here I mean history does relay itself

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 233 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

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 135 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 45 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 14 points 12 hours ago

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

Wait... Kickstarter had NSFW content?

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Ah, trash. Or atleast the slop I wish wasn’t on the steam store.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 50 minutes ago

I don’t like it so therefore I’ts slop

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 hours ago

I saw an interview with the founders not too long ago. It’s golf ball sized, soft/firm thing and it’s designed to be pushed in. I’ll leave the details out, but it is engineered to dissolve after a few hours. It’s meant as a way to bypass douching prior to the act.

Found the YT link. It’s 30 minutes of education and entertainment.

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (5 children)

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.
[–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago

The jar was pretty solid. Don't recommend it though.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I’ve seen people push out billiard balls and whole apples out of their backend. These were of course trained professionals, but a small ball that turns soft wouldn’t be much of a problem.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

The idea apparently was that the warmth of the rectum makes the ball very squishy again, allowing you to easily push it out again.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 14 points 13 hours ago

*flared base

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 12 hours ago

That hole already serves the function of pushing out squishy things though.

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 75 points 20 hours ago (13 children)

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

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 82 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Probably a bit of both. Usually it's the payment processors being lobbied by vocal "Christian" groups.

[–] terabyterex@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

i thought payment processors dont like porn because it has a high charge back rate.

[–] SalamenceFury@piefed.social 45 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's Stripe. The CEO has ties with Palantir and Elon Musk and wants all porn to be banned.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Ironic, 100% chance he's a pedo

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

both are pedos, thiel just havnt been investigated heavily hes into younger men, boys where he can use thier blood to make him younger.
