Patreon Guidelines
Added 2019-07-13 20:54:20 +0000 UTCSo my patreon page was put on notice for violating Patreon's Community Guidelines , particularly they said "The problem with some of your posts is that they show the characters being grabbed or trapped, showing also signs of distress, crossing over into sexual violence."
So in order to keep my patreon page up I have to go back and remove images that fit this description. This is what their guidelines are and that's fair, there's no use in getting too riled up over it, I just have to act accordingly.
My concern is there's a lot of gray area in what could be considered a violation, does this mean all tentacle drawings(I guess that's "trapped"), any drawing where a character is holding up another (does rough sex equate "grabbing"), every depiction of a character with a "distressed" expression even if the act is meant to be consensual.
Regardless I'll remove what content I believe violates their terms but if there's something I miss and I'm not able to remove anything I'm not sure if they'll give me a heads up to remove it or just outright suspend or delete my page. So things are up in the air at this point, if there's something you haven't downloaded yet that you want please do it now as it might get deleted very soon. And if this ends up being the last post of this Patreon then thank you immensely for supporting me and following my work as long as you have. It's been a pleasure and an honor having you along this sporadic, turbulent, artistic journey of mine.

Proceed with caution. I am supporting the art created here, not violence against anyone (I am not implying that that is your goal). Maybe some points to consider, indicating that it's a simulation, always showing a way out pointing towards consent, some smiles where appropriate. What do the female supporters say? The last thing anyone wants is a messy opinion war, keep it simple.
2019-07-14 23:09:41 +0000 UTCI know what you mean. I had to delete everything. -__- Patreon is now even worse than DeviantArt.

2019-07-14 01:11:09 +0000 UTCIt's alot worse, even hypnosis and transformation is considered as "sexual violence" and is ignoring context. At this point, it's clear Patreon is no longer a place for NSFW artists shortly.
