Content

We've covered fanservice a fair amount and will be branching out into more topics, but Peter felt really strongly about the negative impact fanservice had on Izetta's narrative and we know anecdotally that non-consensual contact presented as fanservice is something a lot of our readers feel very strongly about too.

Comments are open on the post, any comments here will be relayed to Peter but it's easier for him to reply directly there!

(Please ignore the screenshot - Patreon is refusing to post the link without the image and gives no option to choose any of the eight-odd other images in the post, which are all from Izetta...)
