Patreon future
Added 2024-03-18 13:00:16 +0000 UTCI don't know if you are up to date with the recent ban on NSFW content on Gumroad and the change of content guides on Patreon.
Gumroad banned all kinds of NSFW on their platform, which means I won't be using it anymore to sell my comics. I'm looking at Itchio and other alternatives to re-upload In a Whisper comic and the one I'm working on.
Patreon, on their side, have changed their content guides forbidding anything that looks like non-con, a new attempt to ban NSFW content on their site but not explicitly saying.
That leaves me concerned since saying that the characters we draw are consenting adults is not enough for them and they can close a page without warning if they feel like it.
I'm conscious that Cรจlia's scenario is risky on that side, there's a lot of power imbalance and I'm playing a lot with the catholic guilt concept which can lead to thinking she is enduring things she doesn't want to.
I'll wait to see what Patreon becomes in all this but I'll start looking for alternatives and if I see I'm at risk of getting banned I'll migrate somewhere else. I'm not happy with all this, to see they can take away my livelihood just because of Puritanism boils my blood...
In any case, remember you can follow me on all my socials, Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram. If this page suddenly gets banned I'll announce there where I'm going next.
Thank you so much for your support.

You can try Subscribstar or something like that, I don't recall the proper name. For now, I'll wait and see but I will probably be starting a new page somewhere else... Right now I'm trying to open an itchio account for the comic I did and for the one I'm working on...
