a.) It's Nazis b.) It's Nazis
or into being more in depth these are groups that are extremely against "degeneracy" they aren't exactly gonna be proud to be hosting pornographic content themselves.
Nazis? So super old Germans that are barely alive? I find it hard to believe.
Proud or not, who cares, their guidelines are quite clear on the topic. If you want freedom of speech, you have to learn to accept that there are people with different opinions and things they enjoy. As long as it's not against the law, silencing them is censorship, a tool used by communists, fascists, nazis and regimes. So it kinda doesn't make sense that nazis would go along with a site that wants freedom of speech.
Unless it's some new shit kids twisted those days, then I may be too old to get it.
Still, couldn't care less about Hatreon, seems like producing lewd stuff and using them would be possible only for people in US, as paypal doesn't allow nsfw.
Its really unfortunate. While I do think Patreon is just trying to protect their image for now, but it makes us realize we are building on a frail system. Time and time again companies would suggest they are for freedom of speech, and then just bending backward when they have other motive to persue. What's unforunate is that adultish gaming market is still very small, there are no alternative in the west other than Patreon. So crowdfunding site with the focus on adult theme alone won't likely to survive, offbeatr is an example perhaps. On the otherhand, we will likely to face the same situation by joining another random crowdfunding site, on top running into risk of having some random team to handle your funds.
Yeah, Patreon is well known so that already kills a lot of sites before they even start.
As soon as they get successful they start censoring, it's mostly due to who stands behind them, people owning too many shares and stuff like that... And oh boy, banks in general can put biggest pressure on many companies and this is what I assume happened to Patreon.
