Patreon news
Added 2022-03-03 09:05:30 +0000 UTCHi all! Due to events patreon froze the ability to withdraw funds for Russian creators, now funds are frozen in the account. At the same time withdrawal of funds from the supporters is going on as usual. I do not intend to leave Patreon as this is my only job, but I will now work more slowly as I will not be able to get paid and therefore my livelihood. I will keep you informed as much as possible and hope that Patreon will soon unfreeze our funds and allow us to work as usual.
Otherwise, freelancers are screwed :")

2022-03-03 15:53:07 +0000 UTCSad to hear, but since russia get more and more excluded from swift, this was to be expected and the bad news are, so long putin don't move his ass out of ukraine, the sanctions won't be lifted

2022-03-03 15:29:53 +0000 UTCHuh. I had no idea Hioshiru was from Russia. Now I understand all the Patreon fears. I was thinking word leaked Patreon was banning adult artists or something like that. Yeah that is a bit harder of a problem to deal with as there are alternatives to Patreon, but any legitimate one will be enacting similar Russia assets freezes. Unfortunately unless Putin gets disposed of, these sanctions will remain in place for years. Best of luck Hioshiru 💙

2022-03-03 15:14:35 +0000 UTCI think the 'not discussing it' is part of the problem; honestly. I've seen similar posts on FA and I can absolutely understand how it must suck to be cut off your only source of income – especially considering that some furry porn would actually be illegal in Russia. At the same time, people seem to expect to have their problems solved for them. I know you personally can't do much. I sympathise your situation. But you could take a stronger stance on the war. Not like spetsnaz gonna walk into your door.

2022-03-03 15:14:33 +0000 UTCI wish this didn’t have to affect you. It’s heartbreaking. :( Like others are saying, let us know about alternatives or ways we may be able to help. I hope you’re able to figure out something in the meantime. Keep us updated on how you’re doing as things change, because even if you’re unable to put much time into art, it’d be comforting to know you’re able to take care of yourself still and doing alright. Stay safe and take care of yourself, Hio. I hope you aren’t affected for very long.
2022-03-03 14:40:25 +0000 UTCI hope that the conflicts are resolved soon. For the sake of all the people suffering. If you find another way for people to send you money be sure to let us know.

2022-03-03 09:22:47 +0000 UTCI'm really sorry to read that.. russian population are innocent for this situation and still have to pay for it. But at least I think to block only the withadrawl is still better than a complete block. Stay safe.. let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
