Bad Dragon is blacklisted for bestiality perpetrated by owner(s) of the company, zoophilia in product designs and descriptions, accusations of rape against owner(s) of the company, sexualization of underage characters in product designs and descriptions, and rampant theft from other stores.
Additionally, they have frequently sexualized children's media, have had increasing issues with quality control, and have had accusations of worker abuse. Really, "used to run a forum and image gallery where people talked about how to fuck their pet reptiles and only stopped when the original version of this site pointed it out" should be enough on its own.
Bad Dragon (BD) is a fantasy and furry sex toy store based in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of the most well-known names in the fantasy toy industry, as it has used pop culture references and its status as “the weird dragon dildo store” to achieve a wider range of influence and clients. Like most fantasy toy stores, Bad Dragon uses platinum-cure silicone, a body-safe material, in softer-than-mainstream firmnesses in order to offset the heavy texture on most of their designs. Bad Dragon is also known for offering very large toys, though their small and mini toys are on the larger side because of this as well.
Bad Dragon offers insertables, penetrables, sheaths, packers, and other merchandise as well as accessories, though their packers have been reviewed as being unsuitable for public wear due to the models used being erect; they may instead be suitable as a regular toy in a much lower firmness than what is usually available. Bad Dragon ships internationally, and customs are always available.
