Hey so, there's been a bit of a kerfuffle with Patreon lately after a terms of service change that threatens all sex workers
There's now an open letter to Patreon to please not do that http://www.openlettertopatreon.com/
The idea of folks losing their livelihood overnight for reasons I cannot see as justified is terrifying, and there's no Patreon alternative either.
@Gargron Worse yet: Even if there were a Patreon alternative, they would eventually be forced to do the same thing because banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions want nothing to do with pornographic media of any kind.
I mean, yeah, stay pissed at Patreon for pulling this, but recognize how Patreon was pushed into this by much larger institutions—then get mad at those institutions.
@Gargron @Stephen_Stone The thing is, most of us are already mad at those institutions over this and other offenses. Some of us are looking for an institution to push back against the Puritanism, and companies like Patreon, Smashwords, et cetera, keep looking like they'll be the one to fight back on our behalf, only to roll over.
Smash capitalism.
