The link to The Lance Saga has been removed from the Artists page per the artist’s request – he closed the site.

Gumroad updated their Help section with info on their new NSFW ban. As of March 21, 2024 the following sexually explicit content is prohibited (copy/pasted from the article):

What is sexually explicit?

Sexually explicit content is media that is created for the primary purpose of sexual gratification – fetish content, media with characters depicted in sexual situations, or content that is clearly produced for titillation. If your products can be understood as being primarily for sexual purposes, then they are not eligible to be sold on Gumroad.

To be clear, this includes all types of media: photography, videos, animations, illustrations, written media, audiobooks, and audio products. This can include but is not limited to products that feature…

• 3D models or assets built for explicitly sexual purposes
• Animated pornographic videos or animated nudity or characters portrayed in sexual situations
• Fetish-driven content where the purpose of the product is the sexual gratification of the customer
• Financial domination content
• Sketches/artwork where the content’s focus is sexual gratification
• Videos with lingerie or nudity where
• Audio-erotica or role-play audio
• Adult comics with nudity or sexual acts
• Cosplay/boudoir/lewd photography that’s focused on sexually explicit poses or activity
• Sexual coaching services or explicit instructional content that is meant for gratification purposes rather than educational
• VR Chat avatars displayed in compromising or sexual positions, or avatars that advertise NSFW uses or modifications like, for example, “breast expansions” where the purpose of such a modification is understood to be solely for titillation or part of an overall sexually explicit character.

Möbius’ Twisted Tales – “Tales of horror and peril in comic strip form, mostly hangings but beheadings and other forms of death too.”

Tough Fights – Fighting in a ring and elsewhere. Includes catfights and mixed fights, both male and female domination, often with fatal endings. I’m told the female models possess especially impressive stunt fighting skills.

In case anyone was starting to wonder if Black Nylons’ situation was a faux “store closing” alarm to generate sales, this was posted on TechCrunch two days ago. I just learned about the article…

Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panicked

As I wrote on March 6, Grindhouse North and Crime House/ Dark Rooms already lost their stores, so the threat to content made for our community is definitely real. With that in mind, both Black Nylons and Rue Morgue stores are still active, for now. Meanwhile, I’ve removed Gumroad from the Distributors page.

It appears Black Nylons and Rue Morgue are still active. I’ve no idea what happened but will keep you posted.

Black Nylons Films received notice from Gumroad today that their store will be closed sometime this evening per the request of Gumroad’s payment processor due to the “sexually explicit” nature of their content. Their store was still active at the time of this post, so if you like shootings or stabbings, you might want to grab what you can as soon as possible.

Presumably, AI is being used to identify inappropriate content. The producer’s other store, Rue Morgue, is not currently under threat of closure, but it may just be a matter of time. Rue Morgue specializes in various forms of asphyxia with an emphasis on ligature stranglings.

Electric City Productions – Electric torture, beatings, burning, bastinado, forced sex, military interrigations, whipping, feet torture, nipple torture, choking, suspension and more.

The Lance Saga – “Text stories about the fictional rape, torture, and snuff of women.” Features an on-going novel in PDF format that’s over 440 pages and counting. Registration is required.

Deadly Desires is a free-access message board for the fantasy death fetish community. Registration is free but an invitation code is required to join. Their Administrator has granted me the ability to issue them. To that end, I’ve added a code request form to the Contact menu. Requests submitted via the regular feedback form will be ignored.
