Update // Blocked comic pages
🕑 Added 2024-12-13 09:04:17 +0000 UTCHey!
I have some news to share.
Patreon has blocked my last comic page.
According to them it violates the 'sexual gratification works' paragraph in their ToS and I have not been able to get to talk to any human about this, as my questions have been dismissed by bots. In case some of you don't know - the page depicted a fully suited up lion and a covered, but (oh no?) topless man handcuffed to a hospital bed, because he was detained by the police for commiting a crime).
I choose to believe Nero is too sexy for this site. To not get angry about the double standards of how much porn is allowed to flourish here, but things like this get deleted.
Because of this, I have come to a decision that I will make the comic itself free for all, unfunded by Patreon. I have plenty of things going on here, I offer early access to my art, sketches, commissions, discounts, votes etc. So I don't need to depend on the comic itself to keep going :)
The blocked page was hardly the most controvertial thing that will happen in my comic and I don't want to be censored by a site that won't bother to even tell me what exactly is the problem. I want to do this comic the way I want to do it. It's perhaps the only thing in my artistic journey that is a 100% mine and I get to do what I want with it.
As this chapter slowly comes to and end, I will keep it early access for all Patrons until Chapter 3, when I will go public and there will be no early access pages anymore.
The comic tier (Pandamic) will be slightly editted and there will be no comic anymore, but I will provide comic related sketches, character concepts, works in progress on pages (without dialoge or controvertial parts) as well as I will be getting back to Q&A (where 6$+ Patrons would be asking the questions and getting short sketch responses, as I used to do before) once I wrap up Chapter 2.
I will still be uploading the new comic pages to my Discord server, but I will make it available for the public, in case you'd want to follow it there.
I won't be submitting new pages to Patreon and the comic itself will not be funded by it.
Completely unrelated to this I have also launched my comic at Kemono Cafe!
We've been talking it over with their team for a month now and I have been accepted as one of their artists~! So you will also be able to read it here:
https://bubblegum.kemono.cafe/This will become 'Bubblegum's home now with the most recent up to date pages posted there. I am driven by comments, so I would really appretiate if you read it, to please share your thoughts ^^ I put all my heart and soul into this project and it's always nice to hear what you make of it.
If you got this far, thank you so much for reading!

I really hope it will make it easier and it will also make me indepednent of any outside moderating party, so I can do what I want without being censored! Thank you so much~! And I hope that the additional conent here (sketches, concepts, wips and Q&A will be motivation enough to support me if you enjoy the comic :))

UGH! Welcome to the world of pearl clutching idiot bot moderators. What a wonderful world it is. *SIGH* Congrats on partnering with Kemono cafe! On a more positive light, this will make the comic much easier to read/access, and will likely get you many more readers!
