Update#2

HK rental is really expensive, moving out isn't quite an option tbh... Plus given how much I am earning through Patreon atm, I don't think I can survive by myself with that income... Until I actually get a job like normal people, living here is currently the best option.

Maybe you should make a plan to leave your parents and live by yourself.

Ya, I fail to see that logic tbh... Trouble is that the Patreon income is just not that high. Even my dad time to time will come to me and say how I am only earning 1k USD, and this isn't enough to survive, always trying to hint that I will have to stop drawing soon, which is quite annoying... Honestly I do not mind the whole 80-85% thing as this is only temporary while I do my patreon stuff, as I thought this will make them more happy and put less stress onto me. But sadly she still show her unsatisfaction towards me for not being NORMAL... Sadly HK is a really expensive city, with just 1kUSD income, this certainly won't be enough to live by myself..

What is this reddit about? She say it is rent, electricity, travel and food spending. Honestly I don't mind the 80% thing, as I thought this will make them more happy and put less stress onto me. But I was really wrong, and so I really really need to have a proper convo with them soon...

As Asian parent thing, along with rent and other spending, it makes sense to give her a bit of money, but 80% certainly was too much. I only agree to do so just to make her feel happier, but instead she still often hint she is unhappy with my situation, and hoped I never had start drawing.

She openly mocks you and mocks everything you spent years building with hard work, while taking over 80% of the money that work earns. How can she be surprised that you're pissed off afterwards? Anyway, regarding her taking 80-85% of your income, I would recommend sitting down with your parents and making a monthly budget plan, to figure out how much you actually owe them, including food, electricity, water, rent, etc. If they're not hard-pressed for money, I would expect a parent to give her son a fair flat rate for living expenses to support him. Though she seems the kind to wait for her son to "snap out of it" or "get over that phase" and start acting according to her ideals, and work a boring accounting job "like all the normal people are doing". I don't know how much is left after patreon fees and taxes, and how expensive HK is. Would it be enough for you to live on your own?

Kinda an Asian parent thing.. If no longer studying and earning income, good kids usually gives 20-50% income to parents. But since I am working home and not really doing a real job, mum wants me to take charges for rent, food and travel cost etc. It started as 60% when we first discuss, but then turn into 80-85%... Originally this was meant to make them less unhappy about my current situation-refusing to find a job like normal people so I can draw hentai for a bit longer. All my friends say I am letting her take too much, But if that allows me to draw without any stress this year then so be it. But sadly despite she is taking so much, she still often hint in a way as if I am a NEET, doing nothing and wasting time... which makes me feel really sad..

Tbh, this sounds to me like high time to move out.

Your mom should leave you and your money alone, that’s your own earnings that you’ve been working hard on, job or no, she can’t really take it from you.

I actually hope you would have told me this "event" when I messaged you on STEAM the other day. Why is your mother taking percentages from your income? ... and since she is taking "your money", how are you "not independent enough"?
