One of my exit survey reads:

"Seeing how many people are patrons and how much money you bring in on a monthly basis put into perspective just how fucked society is today. Preying on emotionally damaged men for profit is a business now, and I no longer want to take part in it."

My respectful, sincere response:

"By this logic every movie, book, game and form of entertainment that deals with relationships "preys on emotionally damaged men [and women]". If you don't like my content, that's absolutely fine, but this logic is ridiculous. They're fucking stories."

The irony of the person who wrote that in the survey

Duke The Rebel

I mean they chose to pledge so they look like a fool,

Lucas

I’m sorry you had to read such a disgusting response. Please don’t take it personally some people are just bitter like this and may be having personal problems which they take out on caring people such as yourself. I for one have NEVER felt like this, your content has helped my depression and anxiety ENORMOUSLY and joining your Patreon was the best decision I could’ve made. Thank you from all of us grateful people ❤️

Or we enjoy your joy and positivity and understanding you bring Toni's and every audio you make plus all the mini therapy and positive messages

Mike Taylor

Preying? How about providing a service? A few minutes of escape from *gestures at everything*.

Mranqueetas

I wouldn't even know what to say to that. I like your response and I love the stories you craft. So thank you Tea for crafting them!

LadyMaria

Seems like that person is going through some things in real life. Whatever it is they're going through, I wish them nothing but happiness. We know they're only stories. They're fun little get-aways that let you forget about life for a while. There's nothing wrong with that. Thank you for what you do, Tea. You help more than you could ever know. I'm here to stay.

This is so dumb Tea isn’t “preying on emotionally damaged people”, if anything she is giving us hope.

Sekhmet D

Willing buyers, willing sellers. 'Nuff said.

Kevin McNamara

Tea’s content is some of the most wholesome, and ethically produced porn on the internet, that the fact that to some people this place signals the downfall of humanity will never not be funny to me.

NotMyName

Eh, I see it as a mutually beneficial and agreed upon exchange. I don't feel like you're stringing us along or trying to keep us dependent or anything.

Frohawk

Yeah, just as my personal response to the exit survey writer, it's your right to choose not to support but don't think you're doing that on my behalf. I'm happy as the man I am, and if anything Tea's audios have helped me on that path. Men, and just people in general probably, are emotionally damaged so consider putting a bit of positivity into the world, eh?

Coyote D.

True. It’s hard to justify anything anymore considering everything does pander to some form of need to insecurity. It’s basic advertisement. But it’s where you get it and what you do with it that matters. At least here we can get insight with fun thrown in. Please don’t be put off by this person. If he feels the need to be that high and mighty in just this situation, they are seeking something more to validate a greater hole in their life. They just seen you as the easiest of outlets. We love what you gave us this far considering what life tries to through to us. Even the stories bring some levity to an otherwise grey day.

CodyTheBruh

Thank you for everything you do Tea 💜❤️🧡💚💙

Speaking as one such emotionally damaged man, I don't feel all that "preyed" upon. I probably don't need to tell you this, but don't take their words to heart, Tea. You're amazing, and your content is amazing too.

Nicki Løvstrup Hansen

That is... One way to exit. Your response is excellent, Tea. Besides he has the option as well to just not listen to that content if he likes some of your other content. I may not enjoy 100% of your content, some of it is not exactly my cup of Tea. ;) That said, you still produce a lot of content that I really really do enjoy, and have helped me through some very very hard times, and also that I know I'm supporting a person that have her heart in the right place, is genuine and you stand by your opinions and what you say. I hope comments like that doesn't affect you, wish you all the best.

Monkee Boy

At the end of the day, it's content we enjoy. My way if looking at it, (as a YouTube reactor) if you don't like my content, that's fine. But don't come into my space just to complain if that's what you have in mind. Well handled Tea, leading by example.😊

AudioFreak

Wow. Just wow. Preying on us for $5 or $10 a month? I spend more than that a week for coffee. But I guess the coffee growers are preying on us too.

Lobonoa Zoro

Yes please someone help, I'm being forced to subscribe to an awesome creator and listen to her content

A sinner has repented XD. What brought that prospective to him outta the blue lol? Even if he's right, so what, it's fun to listen to. If I'm gonna be preyed upon, then by GOD it better be from a Teacup!

David D. Sanchez (Disavowed ASH)

As a lonely emotionally damaged man. They are wrong. And don't listen to them. I need your audios, and random advice to feel better. I am not wbitn preyed upon, I sought you out.

Thank you

Phoenix Brave Hideki

Well I never felt preyed on and I supported you because I actually loved your videos. Great response and stay awesome Tea.

Pbc98

I sought you out for this community of wholesome with a side of degeneracy.

As a mentally damaged male, i support you because your audios HELP me. The joy i experience listening your excited voice is something i honestly cant even put a price tag on. I was on the verge of suicide for several days when i discovered your audios and they made me completely forget about my problems. I cannot thank you enough Tea. <3

Anonymous

What a clown.

Warden D.

If anything you actually have done a lot of good with your audios. And not just your audios, but the little tweets, blogs, and just overall telling people to love and take care of themselves. This mentality that people making certain types of content are preying on others is just not correct.

Lisa Palmer

As an emotionally damaged woman, I'm feeling a bit excluded. 😄 Don't I get to be financially preyed upon too? 😉

Aryk Strykker

I don't feel damaged or preyed upon. Yours are fun little harmless fantasies, which I willingly pay for.

Iron Piedmont

Your audios have been a great help for so many of us. Whether those audios are either Safe For Work or Not Safe For Work, they have helped tremendously. If that is this fool's definition of "preying upon" then I think I rather enjoy being preyed upon.

Dalton Remy

You could apply that same logic to nearly every service or product known to mankind. Example: "If you run a restaurant, you're preying on hungry people." No disrespect to that person on a personal level, but that's a real irrational way of thinking.

I just listen cause they help me sleep and the head scratches are god tier

John Folmer

That honestly has the same energy as one of those pornhub comments that goes "Aren't her parents proud of her". That man definitely doesn't respect sex workers and has huge small dick energy.

Anonymous

This is BS all the way. So now because I like to feel emotionally connected to a story, that makes me a damaged man? F¥&?!# you too! XOXO Tea.

Coby-O

What this is is not “preying.” This is simply supply-and-demand. A demand or market for “emotionally damaged men” (they forgot that women can have these problems too, so… oops) has been around for years. Why do you think psychiatrists became a thing? What about famous motivational speakers who publish books? What makes someone like Tea who does ASMR and/or erotic audio different from them? Even if one were to say “well, she does porn while therapists actually address your emotions,” therapists recommended exploring things to help deal with feelings all the time which could include lewd material. Also, don’t you think that audio, whether pornographic or not, is therapeutic because there are so many single, lonely, or emotionally damaged people who need help in some way that’s easier to get to? By the way, most ASMR people willingly give away their stuff for free on YouTube, Twitch, Spotify, and/or PornHub while therapists are never free unless you know them personally. By the logic on that individual who said that to Tea, therapists are “preying on emotionally damaged men” because they’re not free. Come on. The logic here is silly and can and is easily being debunked by so many people.

Matthew

Dang bruh, we can’t just all be horny and chill?

Jackson

Yes and toilet paper manufacturers pry on people with diarhhea !! lol

Chupabro20one10

Hey if I simp for you that's my choice damn it!!! Let this emotionaly damaged man spend his money on you all he wants.

Samwise Thebravee

I mean there is no doubt people monitize loneliness. But criticizing someone who puts out free content for everyone, doesn't engage personally with men like on OnlyFans , and then bitching he doesn't want to support it is some next level mental gymnastic

David Murphy

Never thought we'd find a bad egg, even though now it's gone. lol

Garrett Gregory

There's a difference between preying on emotionally damaged [people] and providing a service for them. Yeah, I'm well inclined to think that the latter exists, and that there are male-targeted versions of it, but I more see what you do as giving emotionally damaged men a means of coping. For that I, for one, thank you.

Anonymous

Sarcasm: "well no youre audios are centralized and privately owned while those are corporate. It a different scenario as games and such." Honestly I don't mind paying for these audios. I'm a virgin and never had more than friendship with women. Mainly due to the fact that I never know how to tell them how I feel or read the scenario upon who likes me and is just really nice. Stuff like this while it's not realistic or simulated does offer a sort of comfort as there is some way that this could make people more confident or even relaxed when talking with women or men (whatever your preference is). Think if it like people who listen to audio tapes of different languages or some lesson. It works for some people others it doesn't. All that should matter is that people enjoy it. Not the reason for why they do.

Christopher Haist

this exit survey is 100% written by a guy whos wife/girlfriend caught him here without some kind of prior knowledge of it and watched this get typed. that thought process isn't normal for someone to have.

Jeremy Knight

How dare someone out there wants to make men feel like they matter and wanted.. I also love how people assume that the only people who support this stuff is men when there's women that also like this. He's one of those people who sits around complaining about Only Fans and anyone who does sex work.

Jonathan BABIN

I think your wholesome audios are amazing and I don't believe I have many issues. But I'll be honest. The biggest reason I became a patron is cause your voice is hot and beautiful, and I'm a horny bastard. 😐

Jeremy Knight

There's this stupid asumption that only lonely simp men like this kind of content and will poor all their money into a woman's pocket just to make them feel valid. There's plenty of women who like this too, Dangerous ASMR makes female X female audios and someone always bitches in her comment section on youtube when she's bisexual and has female writers

Never mind, in any case, everyone has their own opinion, which he strives to express, so you should not pay much attention to this.

No emotional damage here, my guy. Just horny and wholesome.

Clideb50

Forget this exit survey. They're a numbnut with no idea what they are talking about; or are extremely bitter about something in their life, and taking it out on you.

Minos

Onlyfans'/twitch model preys on people who don't know how to manage their money. Your average movie is an hour and half and costs about 10 bucks. Books can last you longer and usually cost a bit more. Most patreon smut costs about 10 dollars, and most provide over an hour and a half of content a month. Further, a movie has to play to several demographics and might include material that you sit through without caring about. Also you gotta go to a theatre and deal with people. A patreon content creator generally has a more hyper-specific niche, so you can bet you're getting a higher percentage of your time not-wasted :P. there is certainly an argument to be made for simp culture being a problem, but I really don't think patreon is the best hill to die on for that. Especially tea's patreon. Easily the most content for my money of the few patreons/subscribestars i have signed up for.

Khashmonet

Since when does society care about emotionally damaged men?

yetiman101

I really enjoy a lot of what you do. Not everything is my flavor but thats the great part of a mind as creative as yours. I also thing your voice is really sexy too. Your recordings have really helped on some of the harder days especially in this eternal seeming lock down. So thank you Tea for the awesomeness.

Scary Meunster

As bad as it sounds, I can’t argue with it. It’s true. I wouldn’t be a patron of most of my different subscriptions if I hadn’t been scarred emotionally the way I have, and I feel strictly obligated to keep giving money even though I haven’t listened to some of them in months. It’s unhealthy and a waste of money, but that’s just how it is. I’d feel too guilty to end my subscription to ever stop and that’s not a good way to cope. Roleplaying stories are unique because they purposefully set your mind into believing it’s somewhere it isn’t and giving comfort that is normally only provided by real intimacy, which leaves me feeling fulfilled in the moment, but still hollow inside. It feels like an addiction. I don’t hate anyone and I sincerely thank them for making what they do and helping me, but it becomes unhealthy once I start spending money even when I don’t use their content anymore purely out of of the feeling of needing to pay nonexistent dues. No matter how I look at it, they make a good point. Selling fake intimacy for real money will always be ethically questionable. It leaves me with a pit in my stomach.

Dylan G.

Some people honestly bother me... idk what that dude’s issue is

Richard Hardslab

Honestly? I feel sorry for this person, something really bad must have happened to them recently, or even a little while ago that just grew, for them to just blow out from Patreon like that

Anonymous

Now that comment right there is the perfect example of how fucked society really is. Rather than seeing the small positive things those stories can provide, it gets called out as abusing emotionally damaged mentals. Kinda sad

Johnny Bolanos

Bro why did they ever become a patron in the first place if that’s what they think

Yaboy

Teas is Anything but that if she was the audios wouldn't be as afforadable as they are and also she interacts with her commenuity a lot so she isn't keeping her fans in a state of loniness to keep making money, so yeah, no idea what ths person is talking about.

TeacupAudio

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. Please feel free to stop your pledge. There is absolutely no pressure, obligation or even my own personal desire for you to be here if you don't want to be. I mean that sincerely. Do what's best for you and your mental health - only you can do that. All the best :)

Koriand'r

It’s literally just an audio recording. It’s a fucking .mp3 file. People read too deep into this shit.

Sean Keller

personally I agree people, men and women are emotionally damaged in a lot of the asmr groups, that said I wouldn't say the creators take advantage of them . Rather they support them and help them, rather through uplifting posts or just plane fun to take the mind off of the problems. People like this are either scared, because they think it's all a lie and people Like TEA are going to betray them once they let their guard down, or someone in their past. A partner, parent or something drilled it into their head that they are a man and thus are to have no emotions. Not that I condone his response.

phoenix

This is irritating to me because it - and opinions like it - lead to the kind of emotional territory where people avoid taking ownership of their own decisions and their own mental health, even when it comes to acknowledging that they may be in a bad place and seeking out resources that can help them cope. In this case, the ex-patron seems to believe that he's not responsible for his own emotional needs and wants, and that by somehow telling stories that resonate with people, or even offering them fictional intimacy (honestly, we've rehashed this same argument when it came to romance novels written at women, and YA novels written for kids, but it always seems to be directed at women, for SOME reason) is somehow an either/or when it comes to dealing with those emotional issues. Listen folks: go to therapy. talk to a counselor. get help however you need it, and if you feel like your attention to fictional media is in an unhealthy place, disengage and come back when you're in a better headspace. Like every form of media, it's toxic to your mental health when the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur and you, yourself, can't tell the difference anymore - because I assure you, the people creating that media DO understand that difference, and many people who enjoy that media do as well. But if you find yourself in a space where you can't, you need to stop and get the help you need, not put that responsibility on to the creators of or the consumers of that media and say to yourself "no, I'm fine, it's society that's broken in this way, and that's what's emotionally scarring me." Your emotional scars are real, but this media isn't what's reminding you of them. You just don't know how to deal with those scars in a healthy, personally fulfilling way, and that's what you're seeing rise to the surface when you feel that anger or distaste. The issue is yours to work through - with help, of course! And you CAN work through it, I promise you that. But taking it out on others is never the way, and never going to help.

Ryan Oneill

Heh? What the fuck man? Damaged or not damaged. What a prick. Teacup you've saved actual lives. This person. Can't even understand the basic concepts of open mindedness. As you once said. 'To me' "jokes on you. I'm into that shit"

VitAnyaNaked

You know it is everyone's choice whether to participate in it or not. He decided that, this is his problem. His logic is absolutely absurd

RemnantRose

What a tool. That's one hell of hill to die on. Dont mind him hes an idiot

Well said, and I plan to get started in therapy. This was a rash decision made in an outburst of bottled emotions. Yes, IATA in that post. Not sure how often Tea reads threads of previous posts but if she catches this, I sincerely apologize for directing my anger outward instead of inward like a well adjusted person. You may all now continue your ridicule.

phoenix

Godspeed on your therapy journey! It has been IMMENSELY helpful for me, once I found a therapist that I clicked with. But remember, the ridicule may be just that, but look out for yourself and your own emotional well being first. You may learn that this kind of entertainment is more painful than pleasurable for you, and that's okay! Disengage from it and don't look back. Do what you can to be happy, without causing others harm in the process. I'm rooting for you.

Anonymous

Technically speaking, all forms of entertainment made by someone else could be seen as "preying on emotionally damaged men and women." After all, if you are entertained by someone else, you are obviously not entertained by your own life. We all have our own ways of being entertained. One of my entertainments is listening to your audios, another is listening to music. To each their own. I bet this person does not complain about porn preying on lonely horny people. *sigh* We humans should be trying to see the good in each other instead of randomly tearing each other down after all, entertainment like your audios also help some people through tough times.
