Summary

Kickstarter has updated its "Mature Content" guidelines to prohibit content deemed "violent," "derogatory," and sexually "photo-realistic," effectively banning most NSFW content from the platform. Based on emails sent to creators, the payment processor Stripe appears to be the driving force behind this policy change. The update, which occurred around May 11, represents a significant shift for the crowdfunding platform that has historically funded both mainstream games and adult-oriented projects.
