    What did leon cheetah mean by this

    Pretty sure it's about Patreon targeting specifically animal genitalia on their TOS update, which screws over a whole bunch of NSFW furry artists.

    The classic internet tale: Site becomes wildly popular and starts becoming the go-to place for porn artists, until a wide portion of its biggest moneymaker is porn. Business gets big enough that they decide to go public. Investors don't like the look of porn, decide to ban it, ultimately driving the porn artists away and a large portion of the userbase with them.

    Real talk though...Patreon ain't wrong.

    “fav:TacticusAnguis animal_genitalia” yields 9 pages of results.

    If you’re gonna make stupid points at least be internally consistent about it.

    This is always the case with people who riot against certain kinks.

    From Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media by Catherynne M. Valente:

    1. Internet good! Want to make website.
    2. Oh no need users. People no use non-storefront site with nothing to do on it.
    3. Provide a bunch of loss-leader tools to let users make their own reasons to use the site. Chatrooms, blogs, messaging, etc. Use good moderation to make non-monster humans feel safe expressing themselves and feel nice about site so they use it more.
    4. People love site! Use all the free tools to connect with each other and learn and not be lonely and maybe even make a name for themselves sometimes.
    5. Hey stop talking and start buying things. Internet not supposed to make only some money. Internet supposed to make all money. It’s the rules.
    6. People don’t really want what little a site that’s now solely supported by the free content created by the community has to offer. They want the community.
    7. Yell about it. Insult userbase. Blanket site with ads. Get rid of moderation. Moderation keeps out users who will spend money to be mean. Oooh right-wing press LOTS of dollars into screens. Sell user data to anyone who wants it. Crack down on marginalized communities because your advertisers/investors don’t like them. Get VC capital. Do an IPO. Splinter formerly-free services and start charging for them. Probably don’t pay any attention to the oncoming train of changing trends and don’t bother adapting to them, because with the help of evil dickholes, you’re making money now, so why bother?
    8. Everyone is mad.
    9. Sell the people you brought together on purpose to large corporation, trash billionaire, or despotic government entity who hates that the site’s community used those connective tools to do a revolution.
    10. Everyone who invested their time, heart, labor, love, businesses and relationships into this site is shit out of luck and scattered to the winds. Maybe they find what they had again, maybe they don’t. But your shareholders and/or buddies have more money so who cares?
    11. In a couple of years, what happened finally comes out, but it’s just a Wired article no one reads. The site may or may not still be technically accessible, but it doesn’t matter. What made it good is gone, because what made it good was us.
    12. Use new money to fund weird right-wing shit that hurts the people who made website popular because right-wing shit says no taxes and new money hates taxes.

    They don't ever learn, do they? The investors.

    I hate it and love it a the same time

    My porn is becoming the tool of bringing awarenesss about the world's annoying problems.

    Again, love/hate such turn of trends.
