Stop Sesta/Fosta
We try to be sparing about our political activism posts here, but as recently proved by both Facebook and Tumblr, our livelihoods are at stake thanks to these idiotic acts of the US Congress. We don't like to inject political chicanery onto our posts because nobody comes to play a porn game to be reminded of how shitty reality can be, but in this case, as in previous ones, our hand is forced by the threat to our livelihood and the precedent this establishes. It's unlikely that Patreon will immediately follow suit with the other companies, especially since they've moved to Britain, but the UK is eyeing it's own laws of this nature and thus we really need help ending this before it gets any farther.

I am sorry but this bill has nothing to do with what you guys create. This has to do with sites that advertise sex workers or prostitution, such as those dumb as pornhub ads "find hot moms to bang in your area" This does not affect people making consistent digital content on a pledge site, stop jumping to conclusions. Also it is help with sex trafficking as allot of victims of it are indeed unwilling "sex workers" so busting sites that knowingly allow prostitution rings should be worried, like facebook or other social media platforms...you guys running any sex rings? no? then calm the fuck down.
Not actually what it does. Please do your research on the impact of this and why it's forcing websites to take down ALL sexual content whatsoever, which impacts us as well.
Isn't the act stopping online sex trafficking? Isn't that a good thing?
Banning ALL adult content does nothing for sex trafficking.
If Facebook and Tumbler are advocating for it I might have to look into it further. The last thing I think of when thinking about Facebook is freedom of speech.
This is why the yellow vest revolutions are catching on, too many people being trodden on.
Hopefully this wont happen but as I have learned over my life it doesn't matter what we want if they want it to end they will make it end weither or not anything is left to fight about when the dust settles.
This is scary tbh. I go to nsfw websites, member of a lot of nsfw servers, stores and support creators both in and out of patreon even though I don't pledge. I don't understand why people want to destroy the nsfw community and creators.
Puritanical morals. You can blame Falwell and the so called moral majority of the 70's for this.
