I've taken down two of the recent hearth/solace exclusives considering the censorship situation on itchio and steam, they are now up on my adult social medias instead. I don't trust patreons judgement, even though they're probably fine, I don't feel comfortable! Sorry though, I hate to take art away, but if being vanilla will keep my career for longer...I'm gonna do that. Thanks for the support <3.

I do have a hearth and solace compilation pdf I'll release soon, hopefully that makes up for it <3

[I will still draw nsfw as long as they let me don't worry! And I'll still draw pretty much the same stuff, those pieces were kind of outliers.]

Will this Patreon be slowly transitioning to only SFW art? Also, what platforms do you post the adult content on?

malacandrax

no don't worry, as long as it allows adult content I'll be posting it! I post on twitter and bluesky under draxoplasm!

Do what you need to in this really REALLY turbulent time ;;; I'm just so sorry all of this is happening.

malacandrax

thank you! I'm feeling pretty unstable and those being front and center- and being the riskiest things I've drawn in a while- was not making me feel very safe haha.

Do what you need to do. Your art is incredible nsfw or not and I'm here for everything that you are able to share. Thank you for letting us know 💜

don't apologize for doing what you need to do, it's completely unjust that you have to censor yourself on your own private platform to avoid having your livelihood threatened. best of luck with the whole situation, we hope you make it through this incredibly scary time.

Sorry you're in this situation. You do what you have to. Tbh I'm not sure Patreon's TOS allows for smutty/sexy art, but they've been flaky about that anyway. You shouldn't have to censor yourself. I've seen other artists I'm pledged to worried about their work (especially their trans-focussed ones close to their heart) being deplatformed. I hate this censorship of sex, be it from the Online Safety Act, or from these evangelical wankers. Free expression. If there's any way to support you, I shall. I follow you on twitter and bsky. But twitter atm has no age verification process to cheat your way through yet so i can't see anything on there (not on mobile because VPN isn't always convenient) I do on bsky 🙂

This entire situation is so unfortunate I don't know what to say, but I'm glad you are doing what you gotta do. I'm sure you know this already but for things that could be considered noncon (like somno) a lot of artists on patreon add a chibi of their character saying "I consent to this!", and that seems to work quite well to stop patreon being a prick. Good luck in such turbulent times <3 <3

Yes! I've considered doing some kind of tiny setup doodle like that in future, apparently it doesn't count if you say its consensual in the description...which is ridiculous. As if art isnt all about the context, and the text could entirely change the meaning of a piece either way... I was partly concerned about the alcohol mention, which is also non consensual according to their rules. I've drawn drunken stuff a fair amount but in that case I think it might not be as excusable. Thank you for the commiseration ❤️

Thank you for saying this! And yeah patreon is iffy, I believe they must have some kind of agreement with PayPal and processers (my payments come through PayPal who dont allow it, so i bloody hope there's an agreement 😅) Patreon allows nsfw art/animation etc, they don't allow real life pornography, though.

I'm so sorry you've already had to start censoring yourself for safety. It sucks so bad that even though you've built yourself a space to create you still have to fight to do so. You truly deserve so much better and again, I'm so sorry it's ending up this way. I hope things can get better and you get back the safety and security to create how you want where you want. ❤️❤️
