Breaking News AGAIN! this time Patreon...
Sneaky policy change from our dearly beloved platform here... you guys can read the whole article here.
Basically, it looks like if and when I draw the naughty scenes involving anime girls engaging in naughty acts, I'm now obligated to add a speech bubble where the anime girls I'm drawing give verbal consent that they're doing this because they want to. So if you guys see that happening in the future please dismiss that one particular slide when I make a Patreon Consent only page in the variation going forward.
What a day seriously... I think they decided today is the day they drop a nuke on all the artists on this platform. I'm still archiving and finding out the best alternative to the Gumroad crisis we're all facing so stay tuned for an update regarding that.

What a pity how put all these requirements and hassles only for the artist to look for another platform. seriously these all sounds ridiculous for fictional characters to ask for consent for the audience.
So Patreon and other companies don't want to hire a team to review context of the art. So they would rather make the artist, make the characters involved go "Yes it is A ok ( Consent activated) if we engage in this act of sexual intercourse" seems about right.
What an incomprehensible tragedy... It doesn't make any sense at all!
Oh yea you give your consent humm say it again all nice and smooth like humm I love it when you give consent. No..no alright cut where's the director I want to go over the script I can't work like this
I'm glad you enjoy the new edit. But honestly, I'm not too thrilled about making these even though we're going to have to from now on.
Whoever comes up with these rules are just mentally ill. It's so idiotic haha christ. Creators just keep getting shafted. Friggin actiivists are everywhere.
and here I thought anime booba are common grounds for whole of mankind to stand behind and admire.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
I spoke with many of my fellow colleagues today regarding this and we all agree.
Just have a fourth wall break as the first panel every single time, same pose and all, just character swap, staring straight at the camera lol “All characters involved are paid actors, they are in fact not inebriated or hypnotized, and are consenting adults”
Yup, I'm thinking of implementing that from now on. It's not the most tasteful thing to do since it breaks immersion for you guys but it'll be a necessary measure going forward.
Will this nuke all current NSFW Patreon content or does it apply for content going forward? This is insane
It's hard to know for sure. In worst case scenario, they might ask us to wipe out everything and put the patreon page in a stasis until all the content they deem violates their new policy is either removed or changed.
Just when it appears Gumroad is going down for the count, Patreon comes in from the top ropes with: “fictional characters cannot consent to acts that appear non-consensual.” Epic move 🫡
I would watch this if it was a fictional netflix series
So, not only did Gumroad prohibit all the other NSFW stuff. Patreon also now requires creators to include an additional "consent" plot point, possibly requiring even more work.
Now I know what catgirls in a circus feels like when they add more fiery hoops for them to jump through
Holy shit it’s all going downhill
Extra hurdles and hoops for artists to jump through now
