Reverb bans Pussy Melter pedal and I got attacked by SJWs

[EXPcustom]

So I totally did not hear the news that Reverb is taking sides with the SJWs. I saw no one had a Steel Panther Pussy Melter pedal listed on Reverb and the last few sold for 500+ so just to test the waters last night I put it up for 700 or best offer. Was not expecting 700 but anything over 525 I would have probably accepted.

Apparently around 3:30a.m. I started getting 1 dollar offers every few minutes for the next half hour and decided some SJWs must of seen and posted my listing on some FB group or forum for snowflakes. I'm not playing games I just got an extra one of these and was going to sell it when I saw an opportunity. I unlisted right away because I'm not going to die on a hill over a pedal I did not make or have anything to do with, I bought it and am selling strictly from a financial investment stand point.

Sad times we live in when we were growing up it was the establishment that was trying to censor us, as we were the problem. Remember Tipper Gore and all that nonsense. We were young rockers and we hated censorship. Now it's the people under 35 censoring us, because. you know stuff is offensive and feelings...

Also to clarify I found out after I took down the listing that Reverb had banned the Pussy Melter from being listed on their site 6 days ago. So sad to see they are all about censorship as well.

Anyways cool story bros.

Edited to add, I am not selling this pedal anymore, the more controversy the better. I bet this thing is going to sky rocket in value due to the "sensitivity" behind it. Don't they get that they are making anyone with this offensive pedal and Steel Panther or any associated company rich. I bet if this was a non issue this pedal would be a 100 dollar pedal used. By the way by no means is it bad sounding, it is an awesome distortion pedal and would recommend it to anyone.

Amen to all that, Jase. Unbelievable.

It's a friggin'-legitimate guitar product. One could argue that they've no right to ban it, and I'd suggest this would hold up in court.

We shake our heads in disbelief, and yet, I wonder how much longer this will be the case until there's deserved, and long-overdue, blowback from the censured masses.

You know the funny thing is whichever group this was thinking they would be funny or cute by spamming my listing with one dollar offers because of... well feelings. It's just going to give the product more publicity and drive the price up and in the end when I do decide to relist it for sale I am going to make even more money.

In other words I would like to thank that little group of SJW or blue pilled betas or just well I don't know. I assume they were somewhere overseas since they started spamming me at 3am pacific time but it could have just been a weirdo with multiple Reverb accounts in the USA since all the offers were based out of the USA according to shipping cost of the offer.

When it comes to gear and politics I prefer to stay out of it. Like I said the Pussy Melter was a no brainer flip to me, I personally do not like the "P word" and try to avoid using it as much as possible especially in the front of female company. Why they chose to target me I have no clue, was it I did not know about the Reverb ban or was it I was asking 150 dollars more than the top selling price of 550? I am not making these nor am affiliated with Steel Panther nor do I receive a percentage of any of the sales of this pedals.

Just thought I would share and see if anyone else selling one of these has had weirdos make frivolous offers etc...?

You got "attacked." You know you could just remove the best offer feature and not make a blog post about your struggles?

We need a new safe space for selling gear with dumbass names. All the Pink Taco and Pussy Melter will be safe from the evil SJW boogeymen.

I'm sure your Steel Panther pedal will be worth Klon prices any day now.

One could argue that they've no right to ban it, and I'd suggest this would hold up in court.

Good luck suing a private company for conducting business as they please.

Being a private company doesn’t make you inmune to lose a trial if it’s proven you are stomping on someone’s rights.

Rights to what, use their service? Anyone using Reverb agreed to their terms of service.

(F) Right to Refuse Service: ACCESS TO REVERB’S SERVICES AND THE SITE IS A PRIVILEGE GRANTED AT REVERB’S SOLE DISCRETION. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS REVERB’S SITE. Additionally, Reverb reserves the right, in Reverb's sole discretion, to cancel unconfirmed or inactive accounts or to disable, deactivate or terminate your account for any reason, without notice, and without any right to cure.

I'll wait for you to dig up the amendment pertaining to online gear selling rights.

What is SJW?

Conservative buzzword for those with a modicum of empathy.

Nope.
As a European I can safely say
1) we're used to way more. Profanity, nudity, godlessness, etc. Janet's nipplegate would not have been a thing here. Heck, even in 'highbrow sports' like tennis, there's a fair share of streakers here.
2)there's a whole lot LESS SJW BS goin' on here than the shit that originates typically in the US. We don't have Presidents banning transgenders from the military for one...

Ask an Englishman how he uses the 'c-word' (even the fact that I have to self-censor myself to not offend some Americans here... ), versus how people in the US use it. Big difference. So something like PUSSY is minor giggles.
I have two big cats (Norwegian Forestcat & Maine Coon) and they EAT from a ceramic bowl that says 'PUSSY' on the outside for god's sake.

but it could have just been a weirdo with multiple Reverb accounts in the USA since all the offers were based out of the USA according to shipping cost of the offer.

Way more likely.

Cue Americans that take offense to this post.

When I sold a HRG C++ last year, some clown on Reverb messaged me over and over on my price, which was 3200 shipped for an upgraded short head, a fair and common price at the time. This clown kept saying how silly it was that I was selling a "used" head for that much money....and he would 'report' me for trying to rip people off.

Ok.

Well, you can't excuse Europe from the madness of "SJW-ism." People are getting arrested for mis-gendering in the UK. That is the height of SJW ideology. It is really getting to be a problem everywhere.

I hope they do a second run. Like a virgin 2 with more provocative graphics.

Did y’all see the new pedal?

 

[guitarbilly74]

Meanwhile a search for Big Muff yelds 1400 results. Either they don't know what a muff is or it's grandfathered in lol

 

[psychodave]

I see someone in this thread has been triggered and it’s not the OP. lol.

Oh, I see options for a certain 70's Scorpions album-cover there! Glass-shattered and all!

shred4Him; the UK ain't Europe anymore m8.
Besides, for years they've already treated '1984' as an Instruction Manual instead of Distopian fiction. If a London subway camera -after facial recognition- notices that you've missed 3 trains while still on the platform, they alert the police/authorities. This misgendering-arrest' bs falls right into that.

You know what, you're right. I've seen the error of my ways. I'm tossing... I mean recycling my offensive pedal.

Also we need to stamp out these offensive names.

I say we go after these pedals next, any seller who has one we should spam with one dollar offers. I mean it exudes toxic masculinity and we need to be more gender fluid especially in the guitar community. Gender gap in any sort of community obviously means sexism, am I right?

Oh, yeah here you go, so toxic, much misogyny :
