concerns for the future
🕑 Added 2025-01-28 04:53:46 +0000 UTCmostly writing this to keep myself sane because I'm honestly stressed tf out. but anyways, here's the deal
things aren't looking great for nsfw creators in the US rn. a bill is currently being drafted in Oklahoma that will criminalize pornography across the board and put both creators and consumers of nsfw content in prison. yeah, seriously. I don't live in Oklahoma, but I do live in a red state, and it's unfortunately very likely that if the Oklahoma bill passes, states like mine could follow suit. many prominent porn sites are already banned where I live
tbf it's still early days, no one truly knows what will come of any of this. what I do know is that if the worst does indeed happen, if porn does become illegal in my state or nationwide, I'll have no choice but to purge most if not all of my nsfw work from the internet - including here - for my own safety. as much as I want to stand up for what I believe in, I'm not about to go to jail for a minimum of 10 years (!!!) for drawing footjobs lmao
the problem is... 90% of you are subscribed to my $9 nsfw tier, and that's not an exaggeration. if I do end up deleting all my nsfw work from this platform, none of you will have any reason to stay. which sucks for you guys, obviously, but it sucks even more for me, since this site has become an important source of my income. I literally rely on the money I get from patreon to keep myself afloat, and still I'm barely managing, even with commission work
so what can we do here? seriously, I'd like you all to throw some ideas at me. what could I do to keep you subscribed to the Imago tier if, at some hypothetical point in the future, I had to remove all my nsfw art from it? what could replace it that would be worth the price to you? give examples! I'd love to hear it. I need to hear it lol
anyways, sorry for being all doom and gloom!! things are still ok for now, and I just hope they stay that way for the foreseeable future. but idk π€·ββοΈ

I hope you'll archive them somewhere. I probably won't leave since the art is good and I want to see it, but it would be a bit of a shame to lose the NSFW stuff.

To be completely real, and I know I might sound degen lmao, but I like the way you draw feet whether it's sfw or nsfw. So in the absolute worst case scenario, I would still stick around for that π Also, I'd of course be down to see more about what others have mentioned. Your OCs, Glassborn, etc. Would also be great.

Personally, I'm just really happy to support your work because you seem rad and so much of what you make makes me smile! If there's less stuff here, I'll still support -- not here for the rewards. Please take care!

u know i wont be going anywhere!!!! but omg id love for u to bring back the monthly polls or taking small requests!! i reckon things like that would definitely keep ppl around! also more interactions between gb characters and seeing more into their world and personalities!~ π©·

I'm not going anywhere, but a more cohesive presentation of Glassborn as a comic, story, script whatever would be great to see.

While im not sure how many would stay for it, perhaps a comic series? And if ya really wanted to, you might be able to sneak in somethin suggestive lol. Either way, hoping for the best

Iβd probably just stayed subscribed tbh. Your NSFW stuff is god-tier but I like your SFW stuff as well, and Iβd want to support regardless

I will continue to support you no matter what happens, because you're one of my favorite artists, and I would happily commission you whenever you're ready. As for things I'd love to see you do here, I'd like to see your other OCs that we haven't seen much of. More stuff about GlassBorn, more of your OCs interacting with each other, comics, polls, etc. I really do hope that things don't get worse, and I wish the best for you and other NSFW creators.

Not sure what I could recommend, but probably just cuz Iβm so fried rn. Iβll keep you posted if something does come to mind!
