The stigma with sex, and more especific, porn games is really hard to cope, from both the side of the consumers and, as I imagine from the side of the creators. As a fan of adult games, is tough that they are so often brush to the side and either ignore, condemned or taken as a joke.
On the other hand, I think the existance of this newsletter shows that even as fewer plataforms are open to talk about this, pasionate people still work hard to connect more people with this niche interest. That is why I love the links at the end of this newsletter. Thanks to that I now know of lots of places where adult gaming is being discuss with the interest and respect it deserves.
Unscrupulous scammers is definitely a problem. But I think there's still a major double standard here. I routinely get very sketchy spam related to insurance, but I've worked for more than one insurance blog and never had any issues using any platform. The difference seems to be that adult entertainment is considered seedy, so banning or causing trouble for legit creators/enjoyers is considered an acceptable casualty.
Like you I have no idea what the right solution is. But I have a hunch it's closer to the way platforms treat insurance content creators than the way they treat the NSFW stuff.
There's absolutely a double standard here. You've hit the nail right on the head when you point out that other industries can be just as seedy, but don't have any problems getting hosted.
Unfortunately, I can only see the situation changing with regulation. Banking discrimination needs to stop in the US before this problem can truly be addressed.
The good news (for me) is that my churn rate is really low. Once people sign up for my newsletter, they rarely unsubscribe. This is great, because it means I can continue to build an audience over time, no matter how long that takes. 😉
This was a great read, thank you for continuing to write about and highlight quality adult content despite the hurdles.
