Important Update & reasoning! (Patreon)

Summary on what's been going on.

First of, I got a few messages about news of other artists getting banned from Patreon for posting artworks that goes against Patreon's Community Guidelines.

And I've been a Patreon creator for the past 7 years, and I didn't really keep myself up to date with the ToS.

Mostly because I don't really know where they announce their ToS when they change them.

So as of recently, some artists has gotten banned because of what they posted were against the Patreon's community guidelines ( https://www.patreon.com/policy/guidelines#sexually-gratifying-works )

Which I understand completely, as it's not Patreon's fault, it's the payment providers that change their rules, so Patreon has to comply with them to keep Patreon up and running.

But I feel like Patreon need a better way to inform everyone when it comes to changes to the Community Guidelines, especially important things like "specifics on what is allowed or not allowed", as this could've prevented a lot of artists from getting banned unnecessarily.

So I've spent last weekend and these past few days clearing up my Patreon profile to comply with the new Community Guidelines, hopefully to keep my profile within the rules of Patreon so I can keep it going for many more years to come.

This also explains why a lot of my adult artwork has been removed, and I apologize for the inconvenience, but I've downloaded all of my contents, and I will find a way to legally share them and later inform you.

This isn't the end of my Patreon, as I want to continue making High Quality Art & Animations for all of you, but there will be a limitation to specific type of adult content, so I can comply with Patreon's new Community Guidelines.

I mean, why risk it? I've been a content creator for the past 7 years on here, so why should it stop now because of a new rule?

I still love Patreon and its website, as it has allowed to to connect better with my amazing community, letting my community decide what they want and don't want, within my interests of course.

Anyways, I hope this clears a lot of things up.

And if you wonder, yes I have a SubscribeStar account for the majority of my adult contents.

The tiers are the same over there (with an extra one)

But I will keep posting SFW contents on here with casual tasteful nudity within Patreon's Community Guideline rules.

What can I say?

I'm an adult, a flexible artist, so I will keep drawing what I enjoy to draw, whether it be sfw or nsfw.

I hope you guys understand and support me in this decision, as recently I've taken a big hit on people who've left my Patreon, some of them joined on SubscribeStar, but others left completely.

And I know this post is gonna have a big impact on my patreon and my income, so if you decide to stay, I honestly can't thank you enough.

But if you decide to leave, I understand your decision, I am sorry and I hope we'll meet again in the future.

I just hope most of you will stay with me throughout this change, as you are the biggest reason why I am able to continue as an artist full time, as I'll keep you guys posted with amazing Art and Animations!

Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try answer as best as I can.

I love you all!

Sincerely,

Leto
