Summary
Kickstarter has published a new "Mature Content Creator Guide" that establishes clearer rules for crowdfunding projects involving adult themes, with specific mention of comics. The policy change aims to help creators avoid having projects flagged or rejected during review, but has sparked reactions from comic creators who feel the restrictions may impact their work. The guide covers mature content in comics, art books, photography collections, and intimacy-related products.
