Thoughts about this platform
🕑 Added 2024-03-15 08:43:20 +0000 UTCHi everyone! Sooo, as some of you might know, patreon has once again changed some NSFW rules that might end up affecting what I post in the future/how I post in the future.
The rule change:
(link to the policy pictured above)
I don't really know how to tackle this rule, and I'm really losing my faith in patreon being a platform for artists who draw adult content. It feels like they're inching closer and closer to outright banning all adult content. Squeezing out the weirdos, the kinksters, little by little trying to homogenize everyone into a nice and ~presentable~ vanilla paste.
I have been using Patreon since 2017, and in the beginning, it was great! I'd love to reach a whole decade of having this account, a whole decade of all my art in one place!! It'd be wonderful.
But I've already been told to delete multiple images from my account. I'm not allowed to post gore anymore, or pictures of visible bruising (I feel like even depicting hickeys is kinda suspect) and this also includes posting any of this stuff OUTSIDE of Patreon. Any account tied to my patreon account in any way (linking to patreon or linked from patreon) is bound by the same rules as patreon is. It's.. really fucked up.
I really don't know what to do.
Feel free to tell me your thoughts, your suggestions.. I'd appreciate any input or insight to what all of you think I should/could do.
My current ideas are:
- Keep posting until patreon just yeets me into the sun
- Make my patreon sfw and create a nsfw substar account
- just delete patreon and switch to substar
- curl up and just cry

I think with the direction patreon is headed, they aren’t going to stop with just these limitations. They will add more and it will become harder and harder to use. It’s tragic, because you’ve cultivated a really great patreon page, but sooner or later it seems like they will find a reason to ban you, and pretty much anyone else making nsfw stuff. I’d gladly jump to substar if that’s where you decide to move and I think most of your other subscribers would as well, though it sucks that you’re being uprooted for no reason in the first place.
