You should just leave to a different service.

Sad Bit understand why.

Probably not needed... But no one can blame you for taking the precaution. Maybe consider a discord server to house everything for Patrons? Just in case Twitter goes off on us.

It's more about copyright & trademark. It's illegal to make money off a copyrighted character. Anytime an artist takes money for fan art commissions, they're technically breaking the law. But larger companies usually can't be bothered to go after them because because it's not worth the resources or negative PR.

Firstly, it's possible (and in fact likely) it's not actually from Nintendo. It's all too easy for any rando to make a claim and then pose as somebody representing the company. It's a fault of the slipshod reporting system present on most websites. Secondly, you can easily get around it by just not using their actual canon names. I know plenty of artists here on patreon who make fanart of Nintendo characters and get around it by using "pseudonyms" for the characters (e.g. Samus = Sammy, Peach = Patch, Rosalina = Rosafina, etc.) Once you switch up the name, the censors don't catch it because people are searching for the canon names, not the pseudonyms.

I don't even think the claims that have happened in the past were actually from Nintendo. It's pretty easy to fake a claim when nobody checks if it's real. And places like Fanbox have never had any problems even considering they are in the same country as Nintendo. They even run official pokemon contests... In any case it's better to be safe.
