Kickstarter has updated its content guidelines to ban a wide range of NSFW material, including implied nudity, specific body parts, and adult content categories. Emails sent to creators suggest payment processor Stripe is behind the change, threatening to review and potentially shut down adult-oriented projects. This follows a broader trend of payment processors like Visa and Mastercard pressuring platforms such as Steam and Itch.io to remove adult content, suggesting a systemic shift in how financial intermediaries are shaping what content can be monetized online. The timing is notable given Kickstarter launched its 'After Dark' adult content newsletter just months prior.
