Is it an ad revenue thing or a purity thing? Either way, booooo.
It sounds like it's just insertable toys, so it might be a liability thing if they're afraid people are selling unsafe toys? Who knows. That's a really weird distinction and definitely one that payment processors don't make.
Why would Kickstarter be liable for someone else project.
That’s like trying to sue UberEats for delivering food that gave you food poisoning.
You can't really legalese yourself out of being liable if it can be shown you knew of an issue and did nothing to prevent it.
Now apply that to politics.
