I know it's OAG, but how much do you think that some dirty paws (pun intended) were behind this?

"Patreon has ramped up their bans, going from nuking fringe fetishes to prohibiting mods for games like Koikatsu Party and Emotion Creators, and now banning lewd depictions of Japanese-style anime characters for looking like “minors”."

"Twitter user Bob BQ posted a message from a content creator named Waero, who informed his audience that he will no longer be able to provide art in a Japanese anime-style because Patreon deemed it a depiction of sexualizing “minors’. His account is currently down for “maintenance” at the moment as he removes links from his Patreon account to accommodate the requests of the Trust & Safety department."

"An image from the post was made available to public on March 12th, 2020."

"If you’re unable to view the text in the image, it reads…"

“Hi everyone. Due to the recent notification from Patreon, I am working with the official staff to adjust the content these days. So the user will be suspended for a few days until the correction is completed, but don’t worry, this pause is only temporary.

“This time Patreon officials strictly deal with two things:
1. Restriction and pressure on minors (Japanese style)
2. Restrictions and pressure on external websites

——————–
1. Regarding the first point, basically all Japanese styles can be said to be out. As long as you are Japanese style, even if the character has a big breast, the official said that it will be classified as a minor, so I had to delete 90% of the articles on Patreon.

Although this adjustment does not affect the rewards you ultimately receive, it will be a bit regrettable that you cannot directly see the update in advance on Patreon, and I will try to improve this later. (For example, look for other platforms to showcase these works.)

2. Regarding the second point, the official said that it would check your Patreon traffic source and confirm whether there is any illegal content. If there is illegal content, then it will also be used to limit your Patreon business.

“For example, if your Twitter or Pixiv has a Japanese-style suspected underage type work, Patreon will prohibit you from placing a link to Pixiv on Patreon, and you will also be prohibited from placing a link to Patreon on Pixiv. Is considered a violation. Because of this, I have no removed all links and asked users to search for “Waero Patreon” or “Waero Gumroad” to ensure that the source of the traffic cannot be traced.

—————-
Since it will take me a lot of time to adjust the above content, it may take a few more days for Patreon to resume normal operation, and I may release the latest news of the creation in other ways in the future. After Patreon resumes operations, a new article will be posted to announce the relevant details.

“I will continue to complete the animation update this month, and the reward will still be sent normally every other month.” [sic]
"This isn’t some plea for attention or a troll."

"Other Japanese artists also chimed in to note they received similar messages."

"Kakuume, a female artist, corroborated Waero’s announcement about Patreon cracking down on anime-style drawings. Kakuume shared a message that her Patreon had to be closed because they determined that it wasn’t just loli characters that were deemed to be minors, but all anime characters looked like minors."

"But it didn’t end there."

"Patreon is putting Japanese artists through purity tests and demanding access to all their online art stashes to ensure that they aren’t making money on delivering art to patrons that contain characters they’ve determined to be “minors”."

"As invasive as it sounds, the details were laid out by Kakuume over on the Baragg.net fork."

"A Centrist™ tried arguing that Patreon was just axing loli content from the platform, but Kakuume shared an image from Patreon’s staff, asking for access to her Google Drive to verify none of the images violated their terms of service. She also pointed out that some of the characters contained large boobs and were obviously not lolis, but Patreon still considered them to be in violation of their TOS."

1584116736931.png

"If you’re unable to read the text in the image, they state…"

“Hi there,

“There’s still a lot of o links where you haven’t allowed access. Please allow access to all the links already shared via private messages – not only the ones that we requested via Google Drive.

“Please, fulfill my request in the next 24h or I’ll have to place a temporary suspension on your account until we have the assurance that the content you’re sharing is within our community guidelines.

“Update as requested and let me know when you’ve done so.”
"So basically Patreon is going through all associated links and web storage services to ensure that Japanese artists aren’t allowing people to view lewd images and contribute to their Patreon account."

"For those of you who don’t remember, Patreon monitors users’ off-site content, and will hand out bans based on what they say, write, or do on other social media services. Content creators such as Mister Metokur, Sargon of Akkad, and the Straight Pride organizers all had their accounts banned for ideological reasons."

"Even those who didn’t share or engage in politics, were targeted for creating content that Patreon’s staff didn’t like, which is why they targeted Lewd Logistics and made it known they would be shutting down his account because they stated his art depicted acts of a non-consensual nature."

"Many are saying that this move from Patreon will result in them going the way of tumblr."

"So far there doesn’t appear to be an official rule about “Japanese-style” art in their terms of service, but expect them to keep banning or enforcing censorship of content on the grounds of “exploiting minors”, which is what Valve’s software curators did to ban anime-style games they didn’t like."

"Some Centrists™ are already running to Patreon’s defense, claiming that they’re only banning artists and art that “exploit minors” while completely ignoring the fact that it’s all fictional characters and they have no real ages. So basically every anime character depicted in a lewd manner could be considered a “minor” according to Patreon’s Trust & Safety division."

"One of two things will happen: Patreon will either renege if they receive enough public backlash, or they will double down and start purging Japanese artists from the platform, not unlike when Twitter came down on artists for lewding lolis."

"Some users are already suggesting Japanese artists move over to SubscribeStar or New Project 2."

I have strong leads that Kosperry is a total fake and not a real college aged girl as proclaimed in 'her' About section on DA. And I believe the imposter is actually a Boomer man in his late 50s, early 60s. I think this should have its own thread.

Never heard of this person but that exact kind of cartoon fan spergery is 100% boomer furry.

Well, no shit. What kind of 22 year old woman draws characters from Seinfeld.

I just figured she was your typical nostalgia nerd. They do tend to be older women cartoon fans like her, cavitysam and foxenbperry. What gives male vibes?
 
FE is canceled.

The announcement on the site, they're offering 2021 rollovers.
 
M
More those cons are 18+ iirc

Are minors being snuck in? With some of the stuff from the zoosadist leaks we know there are traffickers in the fandom
eurofurence is known to be quite a big orgy fuckfest. id imagine they would smuggle minors in.

FE is canceled.

looks like furries aren't as retarded as we thought. when will all the cons start up again is my main question
 
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but


Wow holy shit
i only wanted to look at kiwifarms while queing for halo reach 8v8, what the fuck is this world coming to? honestly, furries really need to kick underage people out of the fandom, it isn't even funny anymore, some redditor posted their 15 yo friend's snapchat with a bad dragon purchase, what the fuck

edit: these fuckers are just good at manipulating young kids, a lad i know knew some furry who fucked his dog on skype and the fucker was 13/14 while at the act while the person telling him to do it was like over 18, this is actually disgusting

The response to this so far feels mature. Lots of concern for artists impacted, registration money going to charity or relief efforts.

Huh, nice to see.

finally some proper maturity, something that is quite rare in the giant sea of autism and degeneracy.

honestly the entire sentiment of the community is predatory since it is full of neon coloured animals which kids are drawn into and use "inclusiveness" in order to create a false sense of security for these kids. the whole community is overlapped with the gay community who are all pedophiles. except the furries won't do that

I wonder how many cons have to cancel, or reschedule, before we start to hear about a rash of furry artists who can't make rent or make ends meet from the income loss.

So sorry, furries! Looks like mean ol' real life has come along to take your fun away.

There's also a "virtual con" being run, where a bunch of the artists seem to be gathering to do con-style discounts and such to still have something happen. Having worked at a shop that regularly sold at conventions, and volunteering to help out artist friends in both dealer's halls and artist alleys, I know that getting a table is an investment, and if that investment is suddenly postponed, it can cause problems.

Glad it didn't end up being a plague pit.

Aww come on, man, why you gotta pick on Kosperry? She's eccentric, sure, but she seems to have some self-awareness and is practically harmless compared to 99% of Animal Control. Yeah, the Columbo and Seinfeld stuff is some weird shit, but I'd rather take that over... whatever passes as 'normal' in the furry fandom these days.

Besides, she managed to survive being cancelled over her being a Christian back when she was active in the FNAF fandom (this before cancel culture became a widespread thing) and is doing alright for herself.
