Hey, guys.  So this is just to keep my supporters in the loop on some of things that are happening on Patreon.  I don't believe it concerns anything here on SubscribeStar at the moment, but it might be something to keep an eye on.

Right now, this Brigading only seems to be happening on Patreon, but I do feel like I should keep my other supporters in the loop as well.

The following is more or less copy/pasted from my Patreon:

So, looking into the comments, I'm almost 100% certain that my Patreon is being brigaded.  This has hit the point where I'm beyond suspicious.

The Olivia/Donovan pic confirms this.  There's a comment on there that is a copy/paste of one left on my Stream notification last night.  It's a word for word rewrite according to my screenshot.  This exact same comment was made by two different users.  This also makes me think there's alts/botting are involved.

I'm seeing attempts to re-brand my game(as solely an NTR simulator even though I believe my game is more than any one fetish or theme.  There's a ton more than that in the game, imo), spread disinformation, and pick fights in the comments.  None of these people seemed to have existed more than 2 months ago.  It's a recent influx.  It seems fairly clear there is a group that is here to cause trouble and perhaps chase away potential viewers.

Not everyone leaving comments that they don't like NTR is a troll.  I've always believed that people are free to like or dislike anything they want for any reason.  I've talked to some civil ones that just voice their displeasure, but there seems to be some that just do so to aggravate people, namely the ones that weave insults into their opinions.

Here's the thing, I'd highly advise not to directly fight with them.  That is exactly the reason they're here; to cause drama and get a reaction.  They're here to start a fight.  Not fighting with them will probably hurt them more than a direct confrontation.

I believe it to be a trolling campaign, which means any sort of reaction out of me will probably signal to them that what they're doing is working and cause them to redouble their efforts.  This may involve blocking/privating everything.  Besides, if I leave everything up, I get some nice proof of a brigade happening(I'm already saving up screenshots).  They're expecting me to overreact and panic.  They're not going to get any of that.  I'm going to continue doing what I've always been doing.

There's two comments I've found that allude to hitting me with a Community Guidelines flag, so if those are true, they are legitimately trying to damage my business as well as cause drama.  I suppose you could say the two go hand in hand.

I really hate to ask you guys for anything more, but I really do believe there's people trying to attack my livelihood.  I'm not going to ask for more money(especially not on Patreon.), you guys have given so much and continue to stick with me through the hardest period of this project thus far.  Instead, maybe leaving a like or comment would be the best counter to this.  Maybe spreading the word about my work to people you think would enjoy it since, I believe, one of their goals is to chase off potential players.

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys for sticking around for so long through the thick and thin of things.  It really does mean a lot to me.  Thank you.

Edit:  Well, seems as though someone claimed responsibility for Brigading.  This is now 100% confirmed a troll-disinformation-campaign.  Do not interact with them.  They are here for drama.
