SHERIDAN, Wyo.—Bad Orange, creator of sensual audio stories for women, reports that it was recently removed from YouTube, where it had nearly 200,000 followers. The company also had its bank account closed. Bad Orange is responding to these actions, which it characterizes as unfair and hypocritical.
“It is confusing, to put it politely, why we are being subjected to these arbitrary standards in this day and age,” said Larry, the classically trained actor who anonymously applies his talents to the production of content under the pseudonym Daddy Sounds.
“At a moment when the average issue of Slate contains advice letters about extreme kink and The Daily Beast runs ads for Lovehoney’s Advent calendars, which they call 'an erotic journey of passion, play, and connection,’ complete with sex toys, it’s rather puzzling why our content is viewed as intolerable," Larry said.
"It’s as if they hate women or something.”
Larry likens his situation to that faced by the gaming industry, which has had thousands of accounts canceled by payment card processors, destroying the livelihoods of many independent gaming creators because the games were adult-oriented.
“It’s not right. It’s hypocritical, and we’re going to take action,” Larry added. In regard to its debanking, Bad Orange was able to find an alternative way to accept payments, but it involved an arduous administrative process to set up.
Sensual audio is proving to be a popular choice for women who want a certain kind of erotic experience, but who dislike mainstream adult content.
“Voice content is far more intimate and engaging than video,” Larry explained. “Like radio, it stimulates the listener’s imagination and visualization abilities, which is usually vastly more interesting than anything a camera can record.”
