PATREON BANS HYPNO ART
6 years ago
I have been working on this all day, but the bottom line is, Patreon is banning ANYTHING considered "Sexually aggressive" or
"dubious consent" so this means most forms of BDSM, hypnosis, micro/macro, and vore art are being targeted, and the art is not simply
removed but the accounts of the user posting the content gets suspended.
Why did this happen?
For two reasons.
1. A company starts small, availing itself to the smaller groups and more niche crowds. Those crowds gather together to support the
website and the website succeeds. After time it grows and grows attracting more of the niche crowd until it becomes a healthy company.
But once it's a healthy company they try to sell themselves to large advertising firms and whore themselves out for more money, the firms
say they won't associate with the website until they've removed all the content that might be considered dubious, which is what made the
website thrive in the first place. So slowly, systematically and without warning they start cutting it all out, cutting people's incomes and
works under threat of losing everything.
2. The company grows in the same way and hires new members to admin the accounts and to monitor the website. Well they end up hiring
one or two extremely "politically correct" associates who complain and whine that some people are posting work that is not in line with
their moral code, and so they push and urge for a site wide ban of this type of work without a care to who it might hurt, all they care about
is their own agenda.
A combination of these two is what brought Patreon down to this, and here we are. I already e-mail the CEO, a few admins, and filed a
ticket. I know it seems like overkill but they're just playing with people's lives and not caring because as long as more money can be made
it doesn't matter who gets hurt.
I already created an account at a website called subscribestar which has a saying...
"No big corp murky policies, no silly macromanagement or overreactions,
and no judgements or biases whatsoever."
This is what we need, and after a month or so, if the artists I love truly get taken down like Patreon seems to be doing, I will be deleting
my Patreon and moving my business to Subscribestar, whether the people I follow do or not. I love them and support them, but I will be
selfish and insist I will only support them if they don't get censored.

Note: This is NOT up for debate, I am not hearing any of it. This is a personal rant of hatred against a large corporation that fed off of us
and now that it's big it wants to kick us to the curb, screw Patreon.
I'm surprised they would suddenly start restricting content. Well.. guess it's time to explore new options.

With that in mind, Patreon is looking to offer "value services" for creators like options for merchandising and other changes to its 90 percent pay-out model that's currently in place.
In other words they are planning to use third parties and subscription services but those parties would not get involved with them in their current state with, well, furry art and such. XD So they're going to start weeding them out bit by bit.
