Since they think you hate your vagina you must "textually masturbate" instead. Laughed out loud at that one

If you're going to enforce the rules, then enforce the fucking rules. Anyone who puts their work out for public viewing needs to deal with the reality of feedback, positive and negative, constructive or otherwise. Unless someone is being physically assaulted or endangered, or is enduring something that would legally be termed harassment, they need to either quit whining or reconsider their decision to offer their work to the public. As far as the site design copyright issue goes, I would call this site an Etsy parody, and as such, fair-use applies. No idea what the legal guidelines are for "parody" status, just my first reaction to that accusation. LOVE this site. Love.

So let me get this straight: it's horrible to feature badly done crafts on a separate website, but making fun of disabled people is a-ok?

You're a gifted humorist, please do not allow the humorless crapmongers to restrict your wonderful work. BTW I am both a female scientist and sex-positive community member, so anyone lobbing self-, women- or vulvar- hate charges at you can, as the 1st poster said, suck it.

Heck, I've been called prude for thinking its inappropriate for a 9-year-old girl to wear a shirt with the Playboy Bunny symbol on it or to wear shorts that say "eye candy." Thanks for the amusing web site. :) I think the labeling of people as prudes or anti-woman or whatever for things such as not thinking vagina pillows or labia earrings are awesome is getting ridiculous.

The only real "point" she had is that the design is really close to etsy...which I know is the point, but it might end up getting you in trouble. Love the blog, though! Bookmarking!
