The Patreon Situation (Thoughts & General Discussion)
2 years ago
hOI!!!!!!
As most have already heard, or experienced, Patreon’s decision to abruptly close a large number of Baby Fur, Little, and ABDL accounts has had devastating impacts. The most notable being how, when you take time to think about it, a large majority of these content creators are individuals with physical and/or psychological disabilities that prevent them from acquiring gainful employment beyond what they can achieve through the creative arts.
Lucca and I have not yet been impacted by Patreon’s purge of those whose talents revolve around Safe For Work (SFW) and/or Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content. We do know that our Patreon site could go down at any time and, until it does, we plan to post as much art, stories, videos, and insightful journals that relate to how one’s liking of diapers and/or diapered cartoon animals is, like having a disability, 1% of what truly defines who and what we are as people.
If you are interested in providing monthly assistance to a disabled couple who are working hard to prove that we are more than our shared interests and disabilities, please follow the link below…

In the meantime, we are working with our housemate, Leon / Cat of 1,000 Worlds, to find a new place to share our creative content that is primarily aimed at ‘empowering’, ‘understanding’, ‘accepting, and creating a sense of ‘community’ for all those who go misunderstood for who and what they are as a result of society’s ignorance to whomever, or whatever, may not fit within the proverbial ‘box’. (Leon possesses strong knowledge of many of today’s social networking platforms and web sites that are least likely to discriminate against those who have interests that do not align with the outdated stereotypes and stigmas that improperly label people before genuinely taking the time to understand how and why someone may be ‘different’ from the rest of society.).
Lucca and I thank you all for your continued support as we do all we can to help advocate and support those who are both disabled and struggle with feeling outcast by a society built on double standards, hypocrisy, and the perpetuation of feigning ignorance towards anyone who does not fit within a status quo in which, by no choice of our own, we have been placed into.
I plan to write a more thorough editorial on the Patreon situation soon. Lucca and I would have already done more to help our friends and colleagues if it were not for, yet again, coming down with a very intense chest cold / flu. (Really and truly, we hope that this is the last time we get super sick for a long, long time. Medicine is not cheap and being trapped, as others with disabilities are, with an extremely limited income really hurts when you must choose if it is financially feasible to pay your home’s upkeep, or buy $12 cold medicine that specifically targets all the symptoms that we both have been trying to overcome.).
Thank you all for your time, patience, and consideration. If supporting us on Patreon does not work, you are welcome to send donations to us through PayPal at palumbo.ms[at]gmail.com until Leon can help Lucca and I find a better place to continue our efforts. In the meantime, now that we are feeling better, look for more posts on our Patreon page with all content being gradually made available on Fur Affinity (FA) and Twitter (X) as I am able to work the sites with my [Text To Speech] software that, sadly, many software developers fail to make their updated releases of web-based content able to interact with. (I write most of my posts using an older version of MS Outlook before Lucca converts them to where they need to go for wider exposure. It is extra work for him, but the only way that I can ensure I am able to add to the creative content out there despite having no physical eyesight of my own.).
Again, if you are interested, our Patreon is still up and running and can be joined, or sampled, by visiting…

My ex-wife was the first one I ever told about my interest in wearing diapers and liking diapered, cartoon animals. Her response was the worst one anyone could ever ask for. She then weaponized it against me before we got married, while I was undergoing countless surgeries, and even after she left me for someone else.

The saying of how "There is no knowledge that is not power" is very true. The trouble is how our society is so 'first impression' based that no time is taken to understand how and why someone does what it is that is alleged to be taboo. In large part, like me, most folks who participate in the Babyfur, Little, and/or ABDL community do so at no detriment to themselves and others. This fact is always overlooked and, sadly, what makes many who, also like me, can never make a part of who they are go away 100% have to suffer in silence as they are driven further and further away from any sense of feeling like they are understood, accepted, empowered, or have any 'community' in which to find salvation from what it is in life that has them take to using Babyfur, Little, and/or ABDL as a means of self-soothing and open expression of extremely suppressed emotions.
Not fair, that marginalized persons like us disabled get de-platformed in the name of protecting children.
I permanently self-censored on YouTube years ago as an Autistic ABDL/Little to the point I only upload a bland video on it only about twice a year now, just to keep the channel open.

I felt like a human husk that had no reason to pursue any of my interests back in 2008. It was the established Baby Furs that helped me to see that all my self-loathing, which was brought on by years of verbal abuse and lack of empathy for my disability, which helped me to heal and better accept myself for who and what I was. Taking away havens for people who are poorly treated by society does nothing more than make it so that horrible sense of hopelessness and loneliness has no place to be overcome.process
