SHERIDAN, Wyo. — Bad Orange, a creator of sensual audio stories designed for women, announced that its YouTube channel — which had close to 200,000 followers — was recently removed. In addition, the company’s bank account was closed. Bad Orange is pushing back against these moves, calling them both 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, a classically trained actor who performs under the pseudonym Daddy Sounds.
He pointed to the broader media landscape to highlight what he views as inconsistent standards. “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 compared Bad Orange’s situation to that of the gaming industry, where adult-oriented game creators have seen thousands of accounts shut down by payment processors, devastating their businesses.
“It’s not right. It’s hypocritical, and we’re going to take action,” he added.
Although Bad Orange managed to establish an alternative method for processing payments, the company described the transition as a time-consuming and difficult administrative process.
Sensual audio content has been gaining popularity among women seeking erotic experiences outside the realm of mainstream adult video.
“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.”
