I've been designing shirts to sell on Amazon for the past 3 years or so. Some of my biggest sellers lean towards conservative viewpoints.

Over the past year, I have had more of my designs rejected due to violating their content policy.

It started with my "F*&@ Antifa" shirts. They originally approved the design, then when I edited it and re-submitted it, it was rejected due to "hate speech."

I recently made a "Stop the Steal" shirt. That's literally all it said. They rejected it. Why? According to them, because it "promotes violence." I looked at the specific content policy regarding violence, and it states "Promotion of violence: We do not allow designs that promote violence, glorify violence, or attempt to incite violence through cruelty, death, or torture against an individual or a group of individuals. Content depicting or encouraging mass murder and suicide are not acceptable. See also Human Tragedy policy." Now where in the world does "Stop the Steal" fit in there?! Oh wait, it's because it is a "conservative" view point.

I'm so angry right now. It's my only form of income, so I can't pull my other designs, but I can't bear the thought of creating anymore, because most of my designs are getting rejected!

I guess you gotta play the game.
