I had to delete more illustrations...
🕑 Added 2021-12-02 11:51:26 +0000 UTCI got a response back from the people at Patreon, and they told me that I can't depict characters that seem to be in a sitaution where they didn't give consent. In other words, I can't draw characters that are crying, angry, etc, while tied up. So I guess my picture of Tohru would be the only one that is allowed...
This is really hard. I'd have to totally change the subject of what I draw if I want to stay on Patreon, but everyone came to my page because of what I drew. I'm really thankful for you supporting me, so I don't just want to change things like this.
I think this situation presents me with 2 options.
1 is to move to another platform, and continue this of work there. I am already on Pixiv Fanbox, all my work up until now is already there. The only real difference practically speaking between these platforms is that I can't hold polls there, so the Tier 2 picture wouldn't be decided by poll anymore. Besides that, I will also open a page on another platform, probably Subscribestar, and maybe more platforms if there's good ones out there.
You can find links to my other platforms on any work that I post on Pixiv:

2 is to stay on Patreon, and change the subject of my work to more happy looking characters like this Tohru. Though I don't mind drawing happy characters at all, I don't like being restricted in what I draw like this.
For the time being, I can't upload anything that I drew recently. Also, I'm two illustrations behind, and I think you've also already been charged for this month's content. So I'll need a bit of time to think about this and research the options.
I'm really sorry this has happened, I should've payed more attention to Patreon's policy. I'm very liberal when it comes to art. I love illustrations and manga a lot, but in the end it's just lines and colors on a screen, so if it were me, anything and everything should be allowed. But there're companies and countries out there that don't feel the same way, unfortunately for us, and I wasn't aware of that enough.
I hope I can find a solution that will work for most people. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, or if you don't mind going to another platform or seeing happy characters from me.

Very tough to hear. I suppose it explains why you were the only one who drew such expressions. However, tip for Fanbox: you can host polls via Strawpoll.com or some other service, and just make a post on Fanbox linking to said poll. I'll probably just sub to you on Fanbox instead, but I'll do that next month to not get double charged.
Thanks, I really appreciate it

Ah, I guess I'll subscribe to your pixiv fanbox instead then, if Patreon is going to be like this

Ooof. Hard decision there... To be perfectly honest, if everything is tohru like, I would probably not be nearly as interested, not gonna lie :(
