Important Patreon Update (5/20/20)
Added 2020-05-05 13:34:42 +0000 UTCPatreon has become very notorious for policing anime artists. Like many and myself, it is unfortunately, very commonplace for Patreon to unfairly remove anime artworks. Because of this issue, I've come to announce an important update in regards to content uploaded here on Patreon and my resolutions:
Due to Patreon's very strict guidelines and heavy bias towards drawings of fictional "sexualized minors", It is not safe for me to post younger looking characters in fear of being subjected to suspension or ban. Even if the character IS of age, should the face look "too young" Patreon will remove it (yes, Patreon actually stated this).
Exhibit A:
Because I'm an anime artist, and literally everything that I draw has a face that could potentially be viewed as "too young" for Patreon's liking, I created a SubscribeStar. SubscribeStar functions just like, if not identical to Patreon (just without the constant fear of what I can or can't post). It's ironic that Patreon prides itself as a platform encouraging freedom of expression when I, and many other artist were forced to open another platform for fear for our livelihoods.
That being said...
I will continue to post as normal on Patreon. Just be mindful that art I fear might be "too young" for Patreon, will have to be published on my SubscribeStar instead. Splitting up content like this is NOT ideal, and was never something I planned. It's something I've been actively trying to avoid, but Patreon just doesn't have my back which leaves me with no choice.
Thank you. Seriously. All of you for your support and understanding. Should it be here on Patreon, or SubscribeStar, I am eternally ETERNALLY grateful. ?
Stay safe,
