Why I don't do NSFW Commissions
10 months ago
I've been asked numerous times why I don't do *full-on* NSFW Commissions, so I figured I'd give you my answer.
PayPal.
As of now, it is the only thing I use to gain my earnings from commissions. But the thing is, PayPal, for the most part, *detests* NSFW content.

I've heard that if an artist or someone who commissioned them labelled their payment with something NSFW related, then they're more likely to get suspended.
I'm not 100% sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that's what happened with Mastergodai, someone who commed him labelled their payment something NSFW, and his account got suspended.
And that's what scares me, basically one tiny slip up and everything that I've earned is just...*gone*.
I have heard that many other NSFW artists have gotten away with this for years now, but still, that's not enough for me.
Again, all it takes is one tiny slip up and I'll likely lose everything I've worked for.

Drawing porn is not Sex Work.
The issue that happens to people, is that people put NSFW descriptions in the text box, labeled "For -insert porn thing here-"
And because they have no context, it sounds like their service is being used for Sex work. They are not gonna know its for a Drawing, or "Digital Goods" when you mention Fucking something.
Thats why people get in trouble. So either leave the dam text box empty, or put in like a product code. #315438uf. Something more "Professional" instead of "Fucking in Office YCH" where that just lamentably sounds like sex work.
Yes sure, people can still fuck it up, and even falsy report you.....but its a lie and spreading mis-information to say Paypal will nail you on NSFW drawings.
And not just you, its a popular topic.
Think of it like a Tip Jar on FA.
People built a giant conspiracy that, if you use it, and paypal checks your account for NSFW, they will ban you.
This, makes, NO SENSE.
Furaffinity is listed as a Pornographic Website. Paypal would be well aware of what & who they are working with before collaborating with something like Money Transactions.
So, they are WELL aware of what Furaffinity is, and what gets posted here. Plus, why would paypal go out of their way to check your account to see if you have or do NSFW...they dont got time for that, and their agents would have to make registered accounts, WITH THE NSFW Filter turned OFF.
Not to mention.......how are they gonna know your FA username in the 1st place? Last I checked, nobody has linked their FA to their paypal. And I dont recall a giant thing where everyone Needs to have alternative Emails to avoid getting nailed by paypal.....
So, from my observation, I think people just love to spread fear.....but like alot of it, its based on exaggerations and you will never get the FULL story from someone. Such as, Oh yeah, I guess I typed in the box, ""2 foot dick fucking intern"" or ""Doggystyle on Virgin""
I guess THAT got my in trouble.
Just, shit like that.
If you still decide not to do it, 100% respect.
Just, I want to quell lies and misinformation that easily get spread
