Etsy is flooded by dropshipping junk sold as “artisanal” and handmade and AI art print but sure, the issue they need to tackle now is someone selling handmade dildos. Sad stuff
Yup. If you are worried about materials, just throw on a condom, nbd.
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.
puritanical
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.
People can’t behave themselves “recently”? Do you think there was a magic time in history where humans ever “behaved”? As far as I am aware, people have been fucking since they were biologically capable of it and many societies haven’t been prude about it. (The Kanamara [Penis] Festival is probably a great example.)
The reason you got down voted is not because you said something controversial, it’s because it’s a comment that makes zero sense and is extremely out of touch.
I don’t think our society is really in a state of hedonistic chaos catalyzed by custom etsy dildos right now
Which types of examples would help me understand what you mean?
So, you hate fun, and you’re stupid enough to let out of context images influence the way you think about whole people groups. Huge point you’re making here
Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night while society burns around you.
I see someone having fun and celebrating penises (penii?)
Are you also offended by fertility idols, Kanamara Matsuri (japanese celebration of the phallus), or the ancient greek “Phallic processions”?
Or is it just the ones that celebrate in a way you personally find icky?
Whichever ones people obsess over, to the exclusion of all other social responsibilities, are the ones which get my scorn. Apply that to whichever category/categories you feel appropriate.
You are worried about people who don’t exist, doing things that never happen. or happen in such a small number that they are not worthy of thought.
The people in a pride parade covered in rainbow dildos are going to work Monday, mowing their lawn, and paying their taxes. They are not some cartoon character running around like ‘captain dildoman’ all day, every day.
Nah, @ogmios@sh.itjust.works is just a bigot.
That fucking simple. Calling out LGBT pride as some kind of indecent or immodest exposure while choosing to remain completely blind about the hypocritical normalized deluge of heterosexual sex being sold to children 24/7 in all forms of media and advertising that pride is partially a criticism of? Ridiculous.
Bigot logic tends not to hold up under scrutiny. That’s why they play this cute little game pretending to dance around the issue, “just asking questions” or using the very children they want to indoctrinate as a shield for their blatant projection and hypocrisy.
Just fucking say it, @ogmios@sh.itjust.works.
This is all wrong. The dildo where his penis supposed to be is upside down.
What happened to you, Etsy?
You used to be a website with such good vibes.
Really? When?
Vibes. Vibrators. Get it?
Niiiice
When it was handmade stuff instead of Chinese-manufactured shit that tries to trick you into thinking it’s a handmade item.
I’ve sold on Etsy for nearly 15 years. It used to be amazing! Now it’s absolute shit. Stopped using it a few years ago.
Hey are there any sites similar to how Etsy used to be? I used to love it back in the day.
Unfortunately, there are no real handmade marketplaces like Etsy once was. There’s things like Shopify, but no real place where you wouldn’t have to aggressively market your stuff to get seen.
Heck, I used to sell crochet hats, and I could barely keep up with orders! Now you wouldn’t even see my stuff in the search results under all the mass-produced garbage.
