Updates to Patreons Policies
🕑 Added 2024-03-12 20:22:57 +0000 UTCSo uhh...yeah. Patreon rolled out some changes to their sexual content policy and these are gonna be a problem. Patreon has basically come out and said "No feederism, no non-consensual anything at all, not even as roleplay, nothing involving bodily fluids, no explicit depictions of actual sex"
Essentially, everything posted here. Quite frankly, this is ridiculous. Patreon is basically trying to eliminate everything other than the most bland, sterile, vanilla types of sexual content. Doesn't matter your kink, Patreon does not want that on their platform.
I don't want to have to move to another platform, but if this is how Patreon views kink creators like myself, I may have to.

This is very much an interpretation thing, you're right. They use the word "depiction" a lot in these policies, and in an early section and I worry they're including illustrations in that. I would just email the support team or something for clarification, but I think it's pretty obvious why that's a bad idea haha

So, I've read the new policy and it's a bit of an interpretation issue. But as I can see or understand it, it means the promotion of such acts in reallife to "harm" oneself or others. Since you do not promote such acts, but are just living out your and our fantasies in fictional work, I think you will be fine. We do write sometimes stuff like "I want to be in that situation", "I want to be stuffed as well" or "I want to stuff her/him to the limit", but all of us consensually mean no harm to real people behind this, but are giving our fantasies shape through words.

Yeah sorry on the content front. My real life kinda collapsed for about a week, but I'm back to working on new stuff and the next VFN page should be out soon.

I feel like most people use patron as the payment layer and then use Discord as their content layer. Maybe try that? Also, when will we see new content?
