Important Patreon Update
🕑 Added 2024-03-22 15:13:25 +0000 UTCHey all! I urge everyone to take a moment to read what I have to say today as this news affects all Patrons.
---
Context
In the past week there have been changes to numerous platforms to stifle the growth and livelihoods of NSFW artists (pixivFANBOX, Gumroad, Patreon itself).
The change that affects everyone here is the Patreon policy change below regarding consent:
Consent
It is paramount that Adult/18+ creators demonstrate consent in all works (real or animated; photo, video, written, audio) between adult participants or characters; specifically, a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of consent by a statement or by a clear affirmative action. Additionally, participants and characters must be able to give consent (i.e. not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, hypnosis, blackmail). “Consensual non-consent” works, in which participants or characters engage in simulated non-consensual encounters, are not permitted. Accompanying a work that features a non-consensual encounter with a statement claiming that the encounter was consensual is a violation of Patreon guidelines.
Changes to the pkuai Patreon
I had something planned for the monthly pinup picture for March (Jenna from Balto) which I feel I can no longer continue with, in light of the recent changes. I am also making the following changes below to ensure the continued operation of my Patreon:
I will be posting the WIP sketch for this month, but I will not complete the monthly pinup picture.
I will be deleting all pictures that feature 2 or more characters that do not clearly indicate consent by statement or a clear affirmative action.
If you are a Tier 1 ($2 USD), Tier 2 ($5 USD) or Tier 3 ($10 USD) Patron and have been subscribed for more than a month, you may reach out to me and I will refund you for the month of March 2024, as I will not be delivering the Alts or Source File benefit for the March monthly pinup. Please DM me on Patreon with "I would like to request a refund for March 2024" and I will process this as soon as I can.
I will be pausing all payments/benefits for the month of April so I can re-evaluate. Tier changes will be coming in May which will likely include the merging of tiers and removal of monthly alts
Footnotes
Please rest assured that I am still committed to delivering content for you all! I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do, and your support makes it all the more worthwhile. It will take me some time to reset and pivot, so I appreciate everyone's patience.
For those of you looking for other ways to support me, I have a 2023 Digital Art Pack as well as monthly archives/other resources on my Itch.io! (rip Gumroad)
Thank you everyone for your continued support, and do let me know if you have any questions or concerns! (Also go watch Dune part two)

I think you should also consider creating and distributing a discord for subscribers (setting a password)

Yeah, just asked them to expedite my review request. Considering using it as a backup for now

Consider moving to SubscribeStar. It's not as polished, but there's been no crackdown there AFAIK.
