I had to delete all my old posts and images from previous months and wipe out most of my page description… It’s a real shame, but the most important thing is that the project is still alive ? I’ll be sending you the update via PM this month and I’ll probably delay v.15 a week until I figure it out a way to not get banned again… We’re back! Patreon asked me to remove any word related to incest, such as “daughter” or “dating my daughter”. Dots to his patrons after being brought back online read as follows: Also removed were all public images and the game’s public version. Dots, the creator of Dating My Daughter ( the fifth largest Patreon by patron count), was suspended on the 18th, however, his Patreon was back up and running a few hours later, with all references to incest removed from the page. UPDATE : Mantis-X’s Patreon page has been restored, cleaned up, and now mentions he’s creating “Fun animations!” Mantis-X released the following image on his Twitter after his account was suspended, which appears to be an example of the type of notice creators who have been suspended have been receiving:

We think it’s important for all creators to have a second chance, so a lot of these updates have been focused on appeal and reinstatement. We have implemented a better process for warning and guiding affected creators and content. And that’s where the next update on our Trust and Safety commitments comes in. We want to be clear that this stronger stance on fringe content has surfaced a small number of creators that need to update their pages. With today’s update, we’re also being more clear about specific categories of fictional erotic content that Patreon cannot be used to support (including incest, bestiality, sexual depiction of minors, and suggestive sexual violence). It became evident that we needed to outline a clearer stance on some fringe adult content. Over the past few months, there’s been a lot of discussion among our Trust and Safety team about how we can better articulate how we evaluate certain areas of content. The whole post can be found here however, the key passages read as follows:Īs part of updating the Community Guidelines, we’re taking a clearer stance on some fringe areas of Adult Content. This was followed later in the day by a blog post by Collin Sullivan, Patreon’s head of legal, who posted an explanation regarding the change in policy. Of note is the more expansive and specific language being used: The new guidelines are more detailed and contain the following text. The previous language of the adult content guidelines was as follows:
On October 17th, Patreon changed their guidelines related to adult content, in order to add a far more restrictive language. UPDATE: We’ve added added information on restored Patreon pages.įollowing a change in the Patreon Community Guidelines, the site has been suspending accounts of adult creators, especially for incest and non-con.
