Gumroad update
Added 2024-06-28 14:21:12 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Sorry for not answering the individual questions I got about my Gumroad being empty since yesterday.
I needed time to talk with Gumroad support.
So now that I have more infos, I want to give you the temporary update
For Context
Gumroad, Patreon, Pixiv and platforms in general have been less and less friendly to NSFW content creators, even people doing written content, voice content etc... it doesn't have to be imagery.
Gumroad changed their policy 3 months ago and are doing ban waves.
My Gumroad is now temporarily suspended, and I'm currently working with support to see what I can do to avoid the permanent suspension. It might be possible, or at least I still have a little hope.
I'm of course super angry, because my NSFW art is usually on the soft side compared to a lot of other content but it's their rules, and that I find them stupid or not is not part of the equation.
I want to reassure you first, I got the confirmation from support that anything you previously bought will not be removed from your library
As you can see in this capture from an email : 
But I would advise to download and save all your content just in case.
For Upcoming Content and Catch-up Rewards
Timing is of course really bad... I'm trying to finish my illustration packs, preparing the conventions without being late, polish the relaunch of crystanima, etc... So it's added work that I wish I didn't have to do right now...
But 3 months ago, when the gumroad / patreon / pixiv changes got announced and some of my artists friends started to get banned, I looked into my options and I'm probably going to have to use those sooner than planned.
For the upcoming content and catch-up though, I probably won't have time to migrate all of my packs at once to those new options, especially because it's such a busy timing for me, so I'll use temporary solutions like google drive, dropbox, mega etc. So DON'T WORRY, you'll still get packs and catch-ups, it might just take me a bit more time than usual.
I'll keep you posted, but whatever happen don't worry I'll find way to create and to send the rewards 💖

so not sure if you saw Mitsu, but it looks like your gumroad is back up considering I now see everything on it again. Hopefully everything is ok on your end with everything

2024-06-29 03:31:33 +0000 UTCThanks for keeping everyone in the loop Mitsu. Your transparency is deeply appreciated by everyone here and it goes without saying that we are all here to support you (there’s already people providing suggestions! Wow talk about super supportive!!) 😊

2024-06-28 22:18:06 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to hear about your Gumroad page. I hope you have an easy time finding a better alternative 🤞 I would also recommend Itch.io. Another artist I follow also moved their stuff to Itch. Their only issue was that it took a month for the page to be verified. Aside from that, everything else is good 👍 The only thing I don't know is if you'll be able to do the free packs for higher tiers, like on Gumroad.

2024-06-28 21:17:38 +0000 UTCI was expecting this, it was a matter of when... oh well, good thing i have the habit of saving everything locally after you deliver rewards, no i am on the clear when it comes to that. I've seen people open pixiv, itch.io, Art Station. One creator i support that also had gumroad, Prywinko, opened her Itch.io store which is basically the same thing on the supporter side, just another webpage, i haven't talked to her about it, but she seems fine with the change, so might be worth a look at least. Hopefully you get a storefront up soon :(

2024-06-28 19:43:42 +0000 UTCThanks for the insight. I'm actually helping another artist with promotion, and I haven't considered that option. According to the FAQ adult content is allowed: https://itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed

2024-06-28 18:13:44 +0000 UTCIs selling on a different platform, like Art Station or Cubebrush, a possibility?

2024-06-28 18:09:11 +0000 UTCIt's not coming from the platforms, it's coming from their payment processors. Censorship is alive and well.

2024-06-28 17:37:12 +0000 UTCThink of the children, the only place to see tits on the internet was to steal your parents credit card, research an artists since they don’t make nsfw searchable, and purchase the access on gum road _sigh_
Simp
2024-06-28 17:14:07 +0000 UTCYes I have a lot of artists friends that got hit before
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:53:55 +0000 UTCThank you💖
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:53:35 +0000 UTCThank you, I'm sure the 🍑 will find a way 👍

2024-06-28 16:52:55 +0000 UTCI don't think it's going to get better
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:52:45 +0000 UTCThank you Weldy
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:52:23 +0000 UTC😔 you were right 😅
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:52:12 +0000 UTCThank you Rany

2024-06-28 16:51:18 +0000 UTCI just don’t understand why platforms are restricting what type of content creators put out. I get that much of the art can be “unsafe” for a younger audience, but there are literally ways to boost overall security. Not to mention that the amount of money these platforms are reducing to themselves just kind of makes me tilt my head in confusion. So sorry you’re having to deal with this as you’re trying to get ready to travel! Hopefully all this chaos will be able to work itself out sooner than later, but I feel like I can speak for many others here when I say that I will continue to support you now and in the future! 🥰
SurelyWelch
2024-06-28 16:49:31 +0000 UTCDon't worry, following what I do and supporting me on Patreon is already more than enough
Mitsu
2024-06-28 16:47:31 +0000 UTCI hope everything goes well for you at the end of the day ! I find it kinda sad 'cause your designs definitely are on the soft side and I really love these for being cute and all ;_; Is there any way we can support you throug this?
Kitsunegami
2024-06-28 16:13:00 +0000 UTCSorry you have to go through all of this nonsense.
SHolmes
2024-06-28 16:07:46 +0000 UTCby the way, i think some artists are trying to use itch.io
lyonhaert
2024-06-28 15:48:00 +0000 UTCAll this hostility toward you and your fellow creators is just stupid!! I really hope all this can be solved in a better way but don't worry about us. We support you and we'll be here whenever you can send out anything. Hoping for the best, Mitsu!!

Mitsu
2024-06-28 15:26:02 +0000 UTCThank you , unfortunately it's really bad, a lot of people only support me on Gumroad T_T
Mitsu
2024-06-28 15:25:47 +0000 UTCSo sorry about that and timing as as well always bad! However, want to reassure you that we as community are always behind you and dont stress about it too much! We will be more than happy to wait a little longer for rewards etc. if you need to setup new platforms
Raneaa
2024-06-28 15:23:55 +0000 UTCi know a nsfw VA whose google account (not just google drive) got entirely deactivated over nsfw content - and they weren't even using it to distribute things, just backups. not sure what mega's or dropbox's policies are, but google's policies are not safe.
lyonhaert
2024-06-28 15:07:13 +0000 UTCDamn it! I had wishlisted a bunch of Gumroad packs I wanted to get. I should had bought them back then, but I'm on a tight budget... PD: When I read "Gumroad update" in the title I immediately knew it was gonna be bad news
Sigma91
2024-06-28 14:58:08 +0000 UTCI'm sorry that you're having to go through all of that. I hope it's not too bad for you!
Foxmatta
2024-06-28 14:46:49 +0000 UTCOther artists I follow are going through the same issue. Super lame, gumroad was nice. Good luck Mitsu ❤️
IraFox
2024-06-28 14:41:37 +0000 UTCThanks for the update Mitsu. Sorry you have to deal with all this nonsense at such a busy time for you. Take your time! I, for one, am more than willing to wait. Your work is always worth it!
NetherTendrils
2024-06-28 14:38:29 +0000 UTCI find it very aggravating that these companies constantly target NSFW work for whatever their reasons are. I hope you are able to get all of this solved and you don't need to deal with this anymore.

2024-06-28 14:37:40 +0000 UTCOh my god! Je savais pas qu'ils avaient commencé une bataille contre ça . Pour moi ça serait bien galère aussi mais je semble épargné pour le moment, étant très soft dans mon contenu. Bon courage dans cette galère. D autre plate-forme spécial NSFW apparaîtront peut-être.
Xa
2024-06-28 14:31:29 +0000 UTCMan the continuous saga of the ever growing hostility of platforms and payment processors against NSFW artists is a super depressing fiasco to witness. I hope you and all others will be able to find a suitable and permanent solution to this issue someday soon. Y'all don't deserve any of this.

2024-06-28 14:29:46 +0000 UTCSorry you've gotta deal with all this morning.
