[EDITED] PUBLIC POLL: NSFW sketches tier YES or NO? ($5 tier reward replacement)
🕑 Added 2023-05-13 01:24:42 +0000 UTCThis is just to gather interest, i don't know if I'll do it yet but the answers to this poll would definitely point me towards making a quick decision!
EDIT: The issue of having NSFW content visible to everyone pledging to the $5 tier and higher even if they only wanna see SFW content is resolved! I should be able to hide said content under the "read more" thingy in image posts. The Main Image will also comprise a warning (and no NSFW art), and the title of the post will also let you know if it's NSFW or not. I've also been informed that even emails only show the first/main image! So this should fix the problem of censors for those who want them (me, i wanted them lmao) :)

This would replace the $5 tier "step-by-step" + might add to the $10 tier:
-The step-by-step rewards might be reworked (ex: maybe some timelapses videos will be added to the rewards of the $10 tier later on this year), or deleted altogether. Edit: Unless you want to keep the step-by-step reward as-is on top of the nsfw sketches for the $5. i was under the impression people didn't much care for it, but if you do, consider that option added to the "YES" answer in the poll. The rewards will stack!
-Additionally, I might add a new reward to the $10 tier. A new poll for Patron to choose the subject/pairing for a simple monthly NSFW illustration/sketch (on top of the preexisting SFW poll). The difference with the SFW poll reward is that this illustration will be exclusive to Patrons $5 and up. It will not be posted publicly!
This is still a big "might", it will definitely depend on if I have enough time or not in a month!
Some notes about what "NSFW" means to me:
The spicy art i draw never really features visible genitals (only partial, sometimes), I tend to keep it "mild". But it definitely means nudity (lots of boobies) and illustrated sexual content. The subject is usually fanart of preexisting characters, or original characters!
What you need to know*:
As far as I understand it, I need to flag my entire Patreon as NSFW if I open this tier, which isn't really the issue.
The problem would be that anybody who wants to pledge higher than $5 (like just participating in the SFW $10 poll) and NOT see NSFW art will not have a choice but to see it.
And I'm kind of anxious about that, since none of you here pledged with the idea of ever being forced to see NSFW content. So this poll is important to me, to know if y'all are okay with that.
*see "EDIT" at the top of the post

Of course, if most people are in favor of the change, there will be absolutely no hard feelings to anyone who needs to downgrade pledges or unpledge altogether to avoid seeing it!!!! Your comfort is what's most important to me! ♥
On that note, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments or in DMs if you prefer :) Oh and, the votes are always anonymous so don't be afraid of speaking your mind!
Lots of love! ♥
(poll will end in a week, on May 20th)

I'm absolutely fine keeping the step-by-step reward :) the nsfw sketches might just be one or two a month! it wouldn't be like a massive sketch dump like the $2 tier; so no worries on my end! :D

I would love to see both step-by-step and NSFW, but I understand if you could only do one tier or the other time-wise. I legit love and would be happy with either

*chanting* boobs... boobs. BooBs. BOOBS. BOOBS!

Take away from the poll: your patrons are filthy degenerates,
JoeForest
I love your art. I love boobies. I'd really love your art of boobies!
Clio Plowman
I'm fine with both scenarios, I just love your art.
Maryne
Oh that's right! That's super smart actually, that might work!! :D

Perhaps the first image in the post that contains NSFW images, could be a simple "cover" type, saying that the post contains NSFW images, which could be separated from the SFW drawings. Since the thumbnails of the following images on Patreon are smaller, and easier to ignore or scroll through. And the notification mails only show the first image of each post.
vae
hell yea brother
Maryne
yeah an nsfw filter would solve all my problems hahaha. i think this tier could be fun but yeah, i'm really sad about the idea of ostracizing anybody who didn't sign up for this T-T (thank you for your vote and your feedback!!! ♥)
Katy ✨
yeah :/ i forgot about the higher tiers actually discord roles could probably replicate that but that requires actually managing that too which is annoying it's a shame they at least don't have a nsfw filter (full disclosure i voted yes but im really okay with anything)
Maryne
Oh really??? I thought i tried it and it told me i couldn't. but i don't see how it would solve the primary problem of people pledging to higher tiers seeing that content by default :/ either way, thank you, I'll look into it! I just wish there was an option to make only one tier NSFW and have it "censored" for anybody not pledged to it tbh :/ that'd make this a lot easier. EDIT: i checked and yes, it seems possible to make another $5 tier! you were right! must have messed it up last time i tried. but yea, the problem still stands unfortunately T_T

Patreon definitely allows it at some extent, I think. I follow some girls who react to a lot of content and have several tiers at the same price but divided according to the type of content you want to see, but they cost the same. So, if necessary, the site allows it. But I don't know the exact details, so I might be wrong to apply it in this situation.
Maryne
I can't have 2 similarly priced tiers, no :/ but it wouldn't change the fact that people pledging above $5 will have to see NSFW content either way :(
Katy ✨
I'm not sure how Patreon world but is it possible to have two tiers at the same level one for nsfw and one for sfw? I don't mind either way but for others maybe that's an option (as long as it's not too much work - I don't know how these things work)
