Prudery is more important than charity. Apparently.

British glamor model Tracy Kiss took to the fundraising platform GoFundMe in order to raise a little over 15,000 dollars for a variety of good causes, including charities that support, as The Mirror put it, â??disabled people, sick children and firefighters.â?

Sounds good so far.

However, the 27-year-old blogger hit a bit of a speed bump when the site took issue with the offer of giving away topless pictures as an incentive for donations totaling about $15 or more. Although the sexy shots certainly sound like an effective motivator, the site shut down Kissâ??s campaign after she posted a censored photo of the topless photo she was going to give out as a premium for donations.

â??I was shocked when GoFundMe closed my fundraising page because of my controversial photo content violating their terms and conditions,â? Kiss said, â??Which was a single topless photo that Iâ??d censored by emoji hearts so didnâ??t actually expose anything.â?

According to Daily Dot, the practice of exchanging the topless photo per donation goes against the fundraising platformâ??s terms of service, which strictly forbids â??adult services or productsâ? and â??sexually suggestive content.â? That being said, the modelâ??s campaign was violating the rules and was shut down after racking up about $1,500 in donations. That didnâ??t stop Kiss from being surprised at that the site ended up shutting down her campaign.

Still, itâ??s worth pointing out that GoFundMe and other fundraising platforms have taken aggressive stances against campaigns organized by sex workers, including campaigns where sex workers were uniting to expand their legal rights and access to health care and medical services. It certainly raises an eyebrow that those types of campaigns get shut down while a pizza shop that openly discriminates against gay people is rewarded with almost one million dollars via GoFundMe.

Ever since getting booted off GoFundMe, Kiss moved her campaign over to YouCaring, only to have that one pulled as well after raising a few thousand dollars.

According to her blog, Kissâ??s â??Bucket List For a Better Worldâ? campaign seems to have found a home at the appropriately named CrowdFunder, so good luck to her.
