Patreon?
11 years ago
I see a lot of furry artists using it and the Breeding Season game. When looking into it myself, I found this in terms of service "You hereby represent and warrant to Patreon.com that Your Information ... (f) will not be obscene".
I was considering using them, but they have a clause that they can close your account at any time and don't have to refund you the outstanding balance. Basically I'm worried that setting one up would be a waste. Could anyone closer to the issue chime in?

In the US, at least, the governing ruling is:
The basic guidelines for the trier of fact must be: (a) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, (b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and © whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
I think Corruption of Champions probably would be found obscene under that standard. (There is, after all, some -seriously- way out stuff in there!) It certainly 'appeals to the prurient interest', has lots of things in it that are illegal under state laws, and games in general are very rarely considered to have 'literary, artistic, political, or scientific value'.
I wouldn't use Patreon for something like that, myself.
Your game is probably pretty much a guilty pleasure for a whole bunch of people.
Don't get me wrong, Patreon is a good concept, just that you have to output stuff that you'd want people under the age of 18 (or 21 in some places) with the money from that site.
