I know a lot of people that might be getting the hammer, not seeing much of the new guild lines being posted.
Some of this stuff is so vague that anybody can fall under Patreon’s standards of “fringe sexual fetish content”
This might end up being nothing or it can end up being a big thing.
No tentacles
No furries
No bondage, i guess
No skeleton party’s
>make consensual vanilla missionary porn of fictional characters
>declare them as siblings, you are now banned
It seems pretty annoying, but realize some of these guidelines have been there for awhile (like the non-con rule). The update made it more explicit in the wording and adding more fetishes, but I think they realized for legal coverage they couldn’t be as vague. (it’s still pretty vague in some spots)
Because honestly, that is what this mostly is. It’s so if someone complains about them having a specific patreon open they can be “No no look here, see? Guidelines. We banned them. Thanks for telling us!” It’s not likely they would drop a good quarter of their own income with a blanket ban for guideline breaks.
Remember when Blizzard got like super gung-ho on deleting Overwatch porn for about a month? That was all because Kotaku had a front page spread about the huge Overwatch porn community. At that point Blizzard has to do something as a “show of force” for the “general masses”, because inaction is seen as another form of acceptance, and can hurt the brand among the more prudish. Once the heat died down they stopped caring, because in the end it’s another form of free publicity and helps the brand among us demented perverts. Similar deal here.
Still, it’s annoying because it does mean we have no protections should we get on the radar enough to be considered a “problem”, and I will be watching other Patreon creators that do even darker stuff then me just in case, but I am looking into changing my methods on Patreon itself as a form of protection.
Stay safe my fellow creators.
Lol thats so vague xD How are they gonna tell if my content is consensual or not
No fun basically, well that’s fine, we’ll find a way for better smutty stuff soon :(
