Update about uncensored content
🕑 Added 2022-11-05 13:00:00 +0000 UTCHey!
So as most of you know, my patreon account was suspended, leaving me only with FANBOX, which is a japanese site, meaning that uncensored content is prohibited (regardless of other people ways to get around this rule, it is pretty much the one rule FANBOX has so i'll respect them).
For many, pixels and black bars are a turn off or a no go, which is understandable.
Some suggested subscribestar, i personaly don't like that site (no particular reason, i haven't heard anything but good things about it).
However, i just remembered Gumroad implemented a membership thing on its site.
I just posted the last ochako illustration there as a test, for tier 1 (5usd) and in the following days i'll be reposting more content there. I don't know if it will work out, if it convince me or not, but i'll give it a try.
Only two tiers are there, tier 1 and 3, for animations and illustrations (Tier 1) and animations with sound (Tier 3) So the same as here, same prices as well.
If it were to work out fine, LOLICON WILL STILL BE EXCLUSIBE TO FANBOX. Gumroad doesn't allow lolis or shotas but at least doesn't get offended by regular stuff like patreon did (And yes, i know subscribestar does allow both uncensored and lolis, but again, i don't like subscribestar). There i also post my hentai adaptations, those will still be sold separatedly since i have to have a clear count on the sales since it's not just me working on it.
So. Would i recommend to switch to gumroad right away? if you are willing to pay this month again for reposts then yes, if you want new content then i'd wait until there's a good amount of content between reposts and new.
It looks like gumroad will have less contact with the comunity so there's that.
Please remember this is a test, i'm just starting to use this method so it will take a while to get used to it, please have this in mind this before switching there.
I'll limit myself to use gumroad to only post the content allowed ther and nothing else for now, so any questions... i guess you could ask them on my pixiv.
I'll still sell packs of illustrations and or animations if you prefer to purchase that instead of joining a tier there.
Link to my gumroad is on my main page of FANBOX, and on my twitter.

i'm still asking the team some questions but as of now i haven't posted anything for tier 3 so i haven't added the option either

When I checked out gumroads membership i only see tier 1 and no tier 3. Haven't you added it yet or did I misunderstund something?

censorship is not random, we have to always cover certain parts of the genitalia so it won't work

A potential solution without breaking any rules, at least for stills: if you are going to use thin censor lines anyway, have two copies of the image available with censor lines offset compared each other such that they don’t overlap when overlaid together. Pixiv is satisfied that all images uploaded are censored, those who can’t stand censored images have a way to get what they want with basically the same effort as looking through a source file, and essentially nothing changes for those who don’t care either way. It may be worth a try, but I do understand not wanting to take any unnecessary risk with your revenue.
Eh, I'm mostly here for the loli stuff, so I admit it's a little frustrating to hear we're still getting shafted on that end, but I'm glad some people can at least get uncensored if they want it.

Why avoid SubscribeStar? It solves all of the problems - no censorship, no content limitations, and still allows community interaction.

Gumroad would be the best option, less contact with the community which I believe would be unfortunate but it’s pretty straightforward and it would address the uncensored content I know many would like to get their hands on having. I don’t mind at all the censored content personally but understand others that do. I’ll be here on Fanbox for anything you post.

according to what fanbox told me, i can't do that so i wont, this post is merely to let you know the one option i'll provide for uncensored content, i won't do anything more than this since i won't risk my income again

Gumroad has an option for code redemption. Some of the artists I support provide a redemption code alongside their fanbox uploads for uncensored content.

how about now?

i noticed that it wasn't showing, but now that i know you can't see it either i'll figure it out
Regarding the gumroad illustration, how do you get access to it? Did I just pay $5 for a thumbnail?

I don't mind the censorship myself, though I know there are people who can't stand it. I've just seen more than enough fine art that my mind ignores those automatically somehow, though of course I like seeing as little of those bars/mosaics as you can get away with. Sorry to hear about Patreon kicking you. Those guys are completely assholes from everything I've heard, even banning artists for work they produce on other platforms. They can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. I'll stick with you on Fanbox for sure.

why not just give us an mp4 link of the uncensored version? the censored version on the page itself and a link leading to uncensored version?(i dont know if this has been tried already but im just throwing ideas)

To be completely honest with you, i didn't even realize your art had censor bars until you pointed it out just now. I had to go back and look. It's really not a big deal

The censorship is fine for this website, I just think it could be done a little cleaner on animations so the censorship doesn't obscure features that is not genitals a bit more. With the Lucy blowjob her nose gets caught in the censorship when her head dips lower and the like. If the censorship box could follow with the motion and be a little bit tighter rather than just be a stationary block it would be a lot more appealing. But at the same time I wouldn't know how much extra work censoring is on animation whether you gotta add it per frame etc.
