Paypal officially banned all Russians from using it serves because of the Swift sanctions, i can no longer receive payment from my fellow furries or gay guys, i can't use Patreon that i have worked over a year to make, i don't have a reason to keep working on my Ko-fi profile as it also uses paypal, i'm practically was cut off from the rest of gay community who like my art and want to commission me or just support my struggles in a authoritarian homophobic state that i life in.
I'm not Putin, i'm not his friend oligarch, i didn't push him to power in 1999, i didn't order to attack Georgia or Ukraine, i'm just a poor gay artist but the West thinks i must suffer more and it doesn't make sense to me, as i like Western culture. I guess the West wants to make us poor like in Czarist Russia, so we would revolt and overthrow the government and then beg West for peace. I can't agree with that, as it is just cruel to throw us ordinary citizens of Russia against this Putin War machine, there are plenty of other ways to hit Oligarchs and Dictators that big countries like France, Germany, England and America can do, but i guess the West doesn't care.
I can't sell gay art in Russia to my fellow gay country men as by the state law it may be considered as gay propaganda and i'll be put to jail, so the only thing i can do is now to think to what work i'll go to obtain some money to keep making my art and feed myself and my cat. I'll have to put all of my commissions on pause, i don't know for how long it will be, i only can give you promises that i'll reopen it as soon as Paypal will work again for me, the ordinary russian gay artist.
