'I had a portion of my business on @Etsy. I was proud to sell my handcrafted items on a platform I believed shared my value for humanity + community. Then I found out it was selling child sex abuse dolls + replica body parts.

@jgsilverman @fredwilson @Edithwcooper @peggysmyth

'I discovered @etsy was also selling a range of merchandise with slogans promoting the sexual abuse of girls by their fathers.

'I saw child abuse themed merch listed right next to Father’s Day gifts + baby clothes. I could not reconcile @Etsy’s claim to be ‘keeping commerce human’ with your sale of these abhorrent products.

@Etsy states 'it is a mindful, transparent + humane business. We believe that business interests + social + environmental responsibility are interwoven + aligned + that the power of business should be used to strengthen communities + empower people'.

@jgsilverman @fredwilson

'How do factory-produced sex dolls and child sexual abuse material fit with @Etsy’s stated values?

'I am struggling to understand why, despite the petition, media coverage and widespread condemnation, you continue to remain silent.

@jgsilverman @fredwilson @Edithwcooper @peggysmyth #etsy #etsyhatesgirls $ETSY @Etsy

'I’ve noticed a number of listings have been quietly removed (by yourselves or the sellers, I don’t know) but I’ve seen others take their place. A week ago I found a replica girl’s foot with a built-in vagina for penetration. It's still on your platform.

@jgsilverman @fredwilson

'I urge you to demonstrate #CorporateSocialResponsibility by condemning these harmful products, fully auditing your platform to remove all incest + child abuse-themed merchandise + updating your policies + systems to prevent such items from being listed with you again.

@Etsy

'Your demonstrated commitment to addressing this issue would be a win - not just for me and the petition, but for women, children and sexual abuse survivors around the world.'
