As we get to the end of my second full month on Patreon, I'd like to thank every one of you guys and gals for your amazing support.
As many of you know, moving to Patreon was a last effort to keep my projects going on, after so many troubles and bad news.
I came an inch close to giving all up, but in the end, I'm now more prolific than I ever was.
Really:
Thank you.
I will also take this opportunity to share a thought I came across some weeks ago.
These are not my own words, but Id like to really make them mine right now:
(…)
I wish that people would stop associating NSFW art of something with “dirty” and “disrespectful” and start seeing it as a sign that someone REALLY likes something.
Maybe I'm just way too sex positive but when I make porn of a character or something it’s personally the absolute highest level of respect I can give to it because I'm associating it with pleasure.
I’m not sitting here rubbing my hands together like “hmmm how can I CORRUPT and DEFILE this media”…
I'm thinking:
“Wow! I really like this! It would be great if I could enjoy this in an erotic manner as well!”
I’m absolutely not talking down to anyone who is repulsed by sex or asexual.Ii understand their feelings and they are valid.
I’m just talking about that, in the general scheme of things, I wish sex and erotica (specially drawn erotica!) weren’t immediately seen as disrespectful/gross/nasty/unspeakable.
(…)
How do you feel about it?
