Announcement
🕑 Added 2023-02-21 13:52:06 +0000 UTCWe know there has been a lot going on with our core manga series (AGVG) but kind of to add to that - today we received a notice from Patreon Admin that our page at risk of suspension due to some of our content that are in violation of community guidelines. It reads, in part:
We have zero tolerance for the glorification of sexual violence, and this includes depictions of sexualized minors, non-consensual sex, incest, and bestiality. This extends to any shota or loli content, since this type of content exclusively references characters who are minors.
So do they have zero tolerance, we will demonstrate 100% compliance. Thus we will be removing our content that are deemed to be in violation. These may apply to the works that had been commissioned under the former Cobalt /Cobalt Plus support tier, so we are issuing this in advance so that the removal will not be a surprise to any one of our supporters.
Thanks and we hope we will make it through this one.

They did but they further clarified that it would only affect art that looked very realistic
KENSAN
I will follow you wherever you go.

I can see some suggest to move to pixivFANBOX But I remember recently they decided not to allow underage or rape or whatever they say to be in paid area of creators That is upon credit card companys' requests (Fine to be in free areas though lol) So if we are escaping to pixivFANBOX Sooner or later we are just going to be refugees once again

i feel the more we stay, the more dangerouse is going to be D: what next ? art of walking is possible to be banned ?!?!
Roxas
I feel like the end result of sticking with Patreon is more stricter rules and cause for deleting more art. Whatever is your next move is up to you. I'll support your choices.

To everyone who says to Saver to do a pixiv fanbox. Remember that Saver said years ago that he did quit pixiv for personal reasons. I know that everyone here who give this suggestion is doing it from the goodness of their heart. But we need to acknowledge that if Saver still have problems with pixiv. We need to respect that decision no matter our own personal feelings about it

They went after Liesman too. He said he's thinking of migrating to pixiv. Might not be a bad idea considering patreon's scorched earth policy.

:(
Maybe consider starting a discord server. But my personal think fanbox+pixiv(and the commission)+Twitter is a good path.

whatever you do, I'll go :3 sorry for this bad news.

I know of one pretty thriving place in this Aquaphila community. Which is a discord server that many UW artists are members off. Including the likes of Rou and UWDennis. That may be a good place to use to draw attention to a new site if you did create a fanbox

ありがとうございます。なるほどですね。。。。全く知らないのですが検討の余地ありかも??
savaster
Thanks, a lot of people are talking about those but where could we find the thriving community? (kinda sounds like Zion from Matrix series....)
savaster
Well beats me (shruggg)

They went even after Kanna Kamui pic (fully clothed, straight from her Ep 1 debut scene) but...what can we say.
umibuta
Ohh...that BS...
melangalade
I say let's migrate to fanbox or some other alternatives. Patreon doesn't want money, it's their problem. "glorification of sexual violence" like where, where was that depicted, on what image

Well, that bites. :( Sorry to hear that the hammer's threatening to fall on you guys too. Have you considered migrating to Pixiv and/or fanbox? There's a pretty thriving community of underwater content there, and it even has its own built-in commissions/request feature. Your choice, though - I'm in your corner, no matter where you go. :)
savaster
Thank you Didrik, your comments always bring us joy (seriously). Well, I know I'm a half-baked guy who easily gets distracted, but Saver is really really committed to this site. (Aster)

ファンティア もしくは pixivboxにうつしませんか そちらなら制限が少ないと思います
Didrik Svahn
This is so sad, as the same thing happened to Jim recently. But this was to be expected sooner then later from Patreon judging from their previous behavior. Which is why I have been working on making a backup of Savaster work on Google picture

We are hoping AGVG will be safe as we believe it does not fit any of the above criteria. Let’s see how it goes.

Will AGVG be available elsewhere?
