(( IMPORTANT NEWS ))

So Patreon has just announced this rule about this ( Mastercard’s Age Verification requirement ) 

Mastercard requires Patreon to have all creators sharing sexually explicit creations or creations that include nudity verify that they are over the age of 18.

Mastercard requires us to verify that Adult/18+ content creators whose pages include one or more works containing nudity or sexually explicit content are over the age of 18. These works can take any form, for instance: audio, text, and/or visual (including animations of human beings and/or depictions of human beings).

So this sucks and I will need to give them my Photo and ID to show that I am of age. 

Which I am. Even still there is another matter to this which can cause an issue. I have drawn other people's characters in sexual content so would this mean I need to follow the consent rule too?

Do I need to ask people appearing in my content to complete Age Verification, too?

------

We are required to directly age verify only the Adult/18+ creator running the page (that’s you). All creators sharing sexually explicit creations or creations that include nudity must obtain consent from each person depicted in their creations and verify that each such person is over the age of 18. Patreon does not collect this information directly and instead provides creators with a consent form template that they may use for this purpose. When it is necessary to do so, however, Patreon may request that creators provide this information to Patreon.

------

This would mean I would need to send out this form to the people I drew and have their consent when or if Patreon asks for this information. 

I could however opt out of all this and remove all our +18 content and not agree to all this mess.

Either move to another site or close this Patreon down. We are thinking of some solutions. 

Also, i can't even touch the money on Patreon because its locked until i do something about this. So yeah...hmmmmm
