About Patreon (Patreon)

Due to the recent stance taken by Patreon against their own creators, I have to make some points clear:

• First of all and the most important thing is that regardless of what's happening with Patreon, I'll still post my full pictures as usual, and the first picture of Lily will be uploaded in a couple of hours from now, I'm delayed due to the holidays but I'll still post my usual 6-8 full pics for december, I'll work on my rewards as usual, plus a surprise (details below).
• I can no longer allow public posts containing R-18 content. This is very vague because they don't specify what exactly constitutes R-18 content, it could be bad language, a certain degree of nudity, etc... since Patreon is not allowing public posts with R-18 content on the platform and are actively banning pages that break such rule, I don't want to gamble with this so I've spent a couple of days deleting or making patron only most of my public posts regardless of their content, this is a very time consuming task because I can't change posts in bulk, posts can't be opened in other tabs and after editing each post I get kicked back to the main page which makes me have to scroll down again to find the next public post and so on.
• "Patron only" R-18 posts are still fine according to their ToS.
• This patreon account and all of my social media is entirely apolitical (besides maybe this post, if you can consider it political at all) and that will remain like this forever, I have to make this clear because Patreon is now actively banning artists with certain political beliefs regardless of their actual content featured in the platform, and this is not a matter of left and right, creators on both sides have been affected by this. I understand that some people said bad things, but this is also about me and adult/hentai artists, Being able to share my feelings and sexuality through R-18 art is a form of expression, and It's being suppressed by the platform.
• I will be looking for an alternative to this site; I'll stay here, but if this situation keeps escalating to the point where it becomes unbearable to stay or if I get caught in the fire and I get banned from Patreon, I want to have an alternative ready, if anyone who follows me here decides to join me on a new platform once I figure out where to start anew I'll be grateful and I'll think about some reward for doing so, possibly a free commission of your choice regardless of your pledge on patreon, time will tell.
• You are free to leave my patreon if you don't support their recently taken strong stance against freedom of speech, I will respect your choice, yes it will affect me a lot because this is my main source of income but if you think you have to do it then go ahead, but please let me know beforehand and give me the chance to talk personally with you and add me to your social media, because I will respect your pending rewards and like I said, I will be looking for an alternative platform.
• PLEASE, add me on twitter and/or discord. If they ban me for whatever reason without notice, I will be able to keep communication with you that way, if you follow me already PLEASE pm me on twitter and tell me your patreon name, I'll be able to know who is who that way. I already keep track and talk to most of you on twitter and discord but I still haven't been able to contact everyone outside of Patreon, If you don't have a twitter/discord account, pm me your desired e-mail address through patreon messages so I can contact you that way! This also applies to the people who follow me here without actually pledging, I'm aware of you because patreon notifies me of your follows, I'll be more than glad to be able to take your opinions and share selected works with you that I previously shared as public but this time through other means.

Sorry about this, I wish I could just post my artwork without having to worry about these things, I wish I didn't have to sleep worried because everything could be gone the next day, but I guess we can't have nice things. I love you all and I'm forever grateful for your support and you believing in me, 1 year ago I was working on a 2003 laptop which froze after every stroke of my wacom bamboo tablet, doing freelancing work as a spanish teacher in the mornings and at a phone&pc repair shop at the evenings, thanks to your support I was able to build a basic but much better computer, thanks to it I met some great people who endorsed my content and reached more people, I was able to have fun while doing what I love which is drawing... I thank you kindly, and I hope things get better, I hope nothing bad happens regarding patreon so that we can continue working together without worry. I remain possitive.

Lastly there's a surprise coming soon, I've been working so hard on this since july when I kinda announced it, I expected it to be done by halloween, but it's much more difficult than I thought and I'm still working on it lol, It's my first time doing this kind of thing and I wanted now to release it before xmas, but again with this patreon drama I doubt it will be ready this weekend, so... NEW YEAR, let's get this done before new year! This is something I've been working on so hard (as in difficult but also as in... nvm you get the idea, I just said we have to stay family friendly) and I'm super sure you'll love it because I know we like the same things. lol
