Title: Please encourage Genderplayful marketplace to accept Bitcoins
Post by: davux on August 10, 2011, 08:29:45 PM
The Genderplayful (http://genderplayful.tumblr.com/) marketplace is a project that aims at selling/buying clothes that really fit people, instead of trying to make people fit in gender-binary clothes. Well at least that's how I could describe it in a couple of words. There's an introductory video on the website, it describes the project in a much more accurate way, so please have a look at it!

The project is currently in a fundraising phase, where Bitcoin could be very useful. Later on, when the project actually starts and buying genderplayful clothes is possible, Bitcoin would obviously be a very neat option too.

Interestingly enough, they're not happy with Paypal (http://genderplayful.tumblr.com/post/4599462080/paypal-vs-amazon-payments-vs). I can see a couple of similarities between Bitcoin's and Genderplayful's sensibilities (although I'd prefer not to start debating them here because it's not really the point), so I figured we could tell them about Bitcoin (I just did, through their survey (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dGtWOEtCZjl6dnBnOVlqNkFmcHZBY0E6MQ#gid=0)).

What do you think?

For the record: the point is the possible connection between the Genderplayful marketplace project and Bitcoin, please avoid off-topic and/or offensive gender-related debates/jokes (I decided to ignore the threads about women and bitcoin because of the sexist atmosphere back there, but I won't be able to ignore this thread, being the OP).

Q: What’s this project all about?
A: We’re building an online clothing marketplace — the kind that lets members buy and sell with each other. The cultural emphasis of this site will be on androgynous, unisex, butch, dapper, femme, gender-bending, gender-transgressive, and gender-fanflippingtastic clothing solutions for all kinds of bodies.

wow.... not personally for me

But anyway good luck with that the more vendors accepting bitcoin the better.
