Well, it's been fun, but the Patreon experiment might be over. (Patreon)

Unfortunately, looks like someone at the steering wheel of this sight caught wind of my little corner and didn't like what they saw. I awoke this morning to an email telling me that some of my posts could be potentially seen as non-consensual, and had to go. You'll notice many old posts are now missing. Now I have to give the folks credit they were pretty nice and respectful about the whole situation, but as far as I can what it boils down to is, if anyone could look at something and potentially see it as non-con, even someone who's not really familiar with the whole BDSM thing, it's not allowed. And as someone who walks along the darker side of BDSM themes, and has an audience that likes that sort of thing, I don't really see how this page can continue. I mean I could try to keep it going as is, but I wouldn't be able to accept a lot of the sorts of painting suggestions y'all usually like to see, or post half the stuff I make anymore, and that's kind of gross.The line is just a little too fuzzy for me. Unless I have every character who's tied up also smiling like an idiot, someone somewhere could interpret it as non-con, and that's just not a fight I feel like dealing with constantly. The way I see it, there are basically three options open to me, of which I really only like two. I can try to keep the page going as is but basically eliminate anything that looks even slightly rough. I'd have to either completely eliminate or be very careful accepting suggestions based around bondage and make sure every character tied up in every bondage picture looks super duper consensual. Smiling and giving a thumbs up maybe? Yeah, no, I don't think so. So the two real options I see are this. I either close the page down entirely and just be done with it, or leave it open as a sort of 'tip jar' for anyone who wants to throw some support my way, but I wouldn't really be able to post much here anymore. I could still take monthly painting suggestions and such, but I'd just have to post them on FA to avoid issues. Assuming that doesn't also cause TOS issues in some way, heh.  The early access to monthly paintings and WIP stuff would go.  For high-res packs, I guess I'd finally have to get some third party hosting site going, which many of you wanted me to do anyway, and just link it to all of you? Again, assuming that's not also a TOS issue if there's some rough bondage involved. I dunno. It's all kinda gross. What do you guys think?
