Stripe de-platformed us because their payment processor (Wells fucking Fargo, paragons of virtue) didn't like what we were selling, which was fantasy adult toys. They tried micromanaging the complaint, asking if we could remove "flesh colored" options, but we weren't going to get dragged down into that. Ridickulous.



Imagine the guidelines they must be following. Somewhere there must be a rule written down that was once debated by a committee of pious folk that literally states that flesh-coloured¹ sex toys are not okay (but purple is fine).

1: So that's what? Anything from deep charcoal black to a subtle off-white?


What y'all ended up using to accept payments?


I can only imagine how awkward it was for the Stripe employee to ask this.


That's beyond insane.
