- @FediSluts@spookygirl.booEtsy is about to ban the sale of most sex toys and sexual content (ANY depictions of genitalia and sex acts). Effective July 29th. Non-penetrable and non-insertable toys and kink gear will still be allowed (for example: restraints, clamps, harnesses). Nudity for models will be banned, including "genitalia, anuses, gluteal clefts [a.k.a. buttcracks] and female nipples/areolas." (A LOT to unpack here...) There will also be a ban on any "sexual references to familial relationships" in articles up for sale, such as "daddy's slut" or "choke me, mommy". Read more in this article: And in Etsy's updated guidelines:
- @bengesko@bark.lgbtOnce again, American puritanical bs is ruining it for everyone else. So Etsy's banning any/all sex toys, and changing some of their allowed content for other items... this July. A LOT of toy makers use Etsy and only have a month to scramble for a new place to sell, or set up their own websites, which takes time and money. If you can, start boosting the shops of any toy maker/seller you know, help them get some last minute business!!
- Jun 29did:plc:52driyeaqfps45tfeaowdcjpOkay, Etsy banning “adult content” sucks. That always sucks, in predictably systemically unevenly distributed ways However WHO was buying SEX TOYS on Etsy?? Like friends, that just does not sound like Safe Choices to me
