Screenshot reading: Hello, I am a longtime Kickstarter user. I’ve backed projects here fairly regularly, and was part of an indie comics kickstarter about a decade ago. I want you to know that Kickstarter’s new policy banning sexually explicit content is misguided, overreaching, and frankly, insulting. It follows a recent trend of online spaces wanting to “sanitize” the work their users create, seeming to want to deny that a huge section of human art, culture, and behavior even exists. I’ve always seen Kickstarter as a place where weird, niche, and transgressive art can find a place, an audience, and support. If Kickstarter instead wants to pursue such a limiting and paternalistic approach, I don’t think I’ll be interested in using the platform anymore. Thank you for your time, Jessi Zabarsky
