Our speaker was banned from Amazon after an extensive two-month review, with the official reason cited as "offending children and Caucasians." This situation humorously highlights Amazon's perception of these groups as the "two most sensitive products," bringing a new perspective to what might be considered banned items on Amazon. It's a candid look at the unexpected reasons behind being banned from Amazon, especially concerning specific amazon products.
A comedian recounts being banned from Amazon and other platforms for their satirical crayon products, which were deemed offensive due to names and concepts targeting sensitive groups.
[23:22-23:36]
Speaker reveals they are banned from Amazon for creating crayons offensive to children and Caucasians.
No, I'm still banned. And their official reason after, uh, and I'm not kidding, after 2 months of review from their lawyers, and I had to clarify this because it sounded kinda crazy, but they banned me for offending children and Caucasians.
[23:37-23:48]
The speaker clarifies that Amazon's reasoning included both children and Caucasians as target groups for the offensive product.
Um, just, uh, uh, when, when it's children, is it just Caucasian children, or all children and Caucasians? Well, I, they said children and Caucasians, so I guess- Okay. all children and Caucasians.
[23:48-23:53]
The speaker defends Amazon's categorization of children and Caucasians as sensitive groups and questions what was offensive to Caucasians, mentioning a 'Privilege' crayon.
But look, in Amazon's defense, they are the 2 most sensitive groups.
[23:58-24:03]
A crayon named 'Privilege' was part of the original product line.
Uh, I do have a white cray- uh, crayon in the original pack called, uh, Privilege.
[24:04-24:20]
The speaker clarifies that the crayons are satire, not for children, and mentions humorous, adult-themed crayon names like 'Boner Pill Blue'.
And I don't think cra- uh, you know, these crayons were made for children at all. I mean, they're- Yeah, yeah. It's a satire product. Obviously. Uh, they're colors like Boner Pill Blue, Miscarriage Maroon, uh Boner Pill Blue, how long is it that crayon lasts for?
[24:34-24:37]
The name of the black crayon is clarified as 'Lives Matter', not 'Obama Black'.
No, uh, the black one is just called Lives Matter.
[24:58-25:15]
The speaker explains the simple manufacturing process of getting custom-named crayons made.
I just went to a manufacturer of crayons- already, and I was like, "Hey, can I do a custom, you know, names and custom package?" They said, "Yeah, sure." Paid the money, "We'll do whatever you want." I was gonna say, going into a whole crayon manufacturing, uh, uh, organization would be a lot to go for a joke.
[25:15-25:22]
The speaker shows visual transition with a man and woman, mentioning their crayon empire is a result of a joke.
I've gone pretty far for a joke, but, uh, that, that's pretty far. So- 3 years later, I have a crayon empire.
[25:32-25:54]
The speaker lists numerous platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook from which their products have been banned.
So, uh, I, let's see, I've not only, first off, been banned from Amazon. I have, uh, been, had my products banned from Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, uh, Facebook, Shopify. Shopify, the st- uh, the store, uh, basically said, "Yeah, you can't sell these products on through our platform." Uh.
[26:04-26:18]
The speaker explains being banned from email services like Constant Contact due to their controversial crayon products.
Constant Contact, uh, I, uh, their My emails, which were absolutely, like PG 13, they said, "Yeah, no. You can't work with us." Uh, so I've been banned off a lot of platforms actually.
