P a t r e o n (Patreon)

Usually, I read about a service cracking down on NSFW stuff and I think I probably won't have to worry about that for a while. I'm just doing text for the most part. No one cares about "depictions" in written works, right?

In their infinite cowardice, P a t r e o n has made C o n s e n s u a l N o n - C o n s e n t a violation of the t e r m s of s e r v i c e. (Yes, paranoid about being found for speaking out about it.) Hypnosis is explicitly called out as not allowed. I tend to lean on that kind of thing. The full requirements are daft. Works have to make sure that all c o n s e n t is explicitly given. I image sarcastic writers putting in text like this:

"Do you c o n s e n t to me removing your blouse?"
"I do"
"You have to say I c o n s e n t"
"Oh, I c o n s e n t"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Given your c o n s e n t I will now remove your bra."

And so on.

What does this mean? Well, I'll probably be looking into subscribestar.adult. I might move the stories off site. I might even put them into encrypted pdf/zip files. No idea what level of "protection" is or isn't too much.

If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Would monthly releases of a PDF located on a download site work for everyone? (Yes, I know. Nothing can possibly work for everyone.) How many of you would never (or can't) use subscribestar.adult? Would like to join me in venting? Comments are always encouraged.
