I mean, obviously, this is horrible. This is someone's livelihood falling victim to the unsettling trend of dispassionate corporations unilaterally instituting zero-tolerance policies on sexual content, just to squeeze an extra couple bucks out of puritanical advertisers that people don't even like having around in the first place, and trying to pass it off as "safety". It's transparently regressive and does next-to-nothing to benefit the end user and absolutely nothing to benefit creators, and barely even benefits the corporation itself enough to be a justifiable decision — just ask Tumblr, OnlyFans, and the late Gfycat how their adult content bans worked out. It's capitalism at its worst, aside from all those other worse parts of capitalism. It's a very serious and concerning situation and I extend my sympathies to the creators affected, and all the handcrafted marital aid enthusiasts whom this decision will see deprived.
All that is to say...
Heh. Artisanal sex toys.
I'm sure I'll get crucified for this, but it needs to be said that the rapid swing towards puritanical values in our society is largely because too many people can't behave themselves recently, when they are given the freedom to express themselves openly.
I know! Everyone out there being themselves and happy about it. Disgusting.
