No, Patreon uses Stripe. Stripe is also the biggest cuck group in the world and canceled funding for Infinity Next for no stated reason. Literally: there was nothing suspicious about Infinity Next. Completely legitimate business. They ring up Patreon every time a profile says something they don't like and tell them to take it down. Stripe oversteps their boundaries constantly. I found a different payment processor that held up for the rest of Next's development.
Now here's how this is going to work. I'm going to try and use a payment processor I know works for another site with a similar reputation to the KF. If that doesn't work, I have a backup. If that also doesn't work, I have ties to the Chinese and will use a payment processor from the PROC. That will work. There is not a fucking thing that anyone in the world can do to stop the PROC payment processor. The difficulty is doing the paperwork and getting a referral from a Chinese national -- but I already have one.
See, Sammy has never learned (and gosh, even I have forgotten in recent times) that I am incredibly insane. If push comes to shove, I will literally move to the People's Republic of China. The trade-off would be requiring sensitivity when speaking on Chinese political issues, but I think that'd be more than fair if it allows me to financially secure the freedom of our operations. We critique private individuals, not the Communist Party of China, so I don't give a shit anyways. Mao Zedong is a fucking hero tbh fam.
