Etsy is an adult site and has never claimed to be anything else. Nudity, BDSM paraphernalia and sex toys are allowed here. But they do need to follow the same stated rules as the rest of the site .... Handmade, Vintage or Supplies, and the first listing should not show mature content.
Etsy says ...
"We define mature content containing printed or visual depictions of human genitalia, sexual activity or content, profane language, sexual wellness items, violent images (within reason; see also Violent Items), and explicit types or representations of taxidermy."
Unfortunately for some, Etsy's attitude toward illegal mature listings seems to have become the same as Etsy's attitude toward resellers and counterfeiters (as has been posted here in the forum, over and over).
While they say it is not allowed, a simple view of the site will validate that, in fact, it is being allowed. For whatever reasons.
Are they just not equipped to enforce their own rules?
It has been posted by others here that it is because it makes money for them. I hope that isn't the case, but those menstrual bloodstained panties can go for $50.00 and up. And there are Louis Vuitton mass counterfeiters with Etsy Bestseller badges on their listings.
And the shop I mentioned in another thread that has a first page brimming with nakedddicks has been reported for months and they are still standing:))))
Why? I sincerely wish we knew and didn't have to speculate. But long gone are the days when Etsy communicated with us.
