Le sigh on Patreon

Honestly, it seems that Patreon hasn't been sitting too well with a lot of people lately. All but one of my supported artists are having increased issues with them over content use. Quite frankly, they're not very 'user' friendly either, since they run their payment options through a UK bank which puts any other overseas banks at odds with them. My bank's policy is that any large sum of money being transferred to a foreign bank or establishment has to be thoroughly checked out and cannot be overridden, which means I either have to respond to a fraud text if they send one to have it cleared, or most of the time it just gets blocked altogether and I have to call them directly to authorize it *every* month. >.> I really think their ever changing policies on content is absolutely bogus: Everyone's Patreons containing adult content are age restricted and posts as well as comments are blocked to nonmembers anyway, so why even get on someone's case about 'adult nature' to a clearly adult piece of artwork or story?.... Perhaps it is about time to switch sites. I'd hate for you to just be posting something one day and they, for whatever reason, suspend or remove your account and stop your support dead. They're changing policies just about every month it seems. I did join Patreon on a whim and I'll gladly switch to another site to keep supporting you. :3 I'm also very sorry to hear what you went through this month. On top of August not being an all too fun month for you, I can't believe you had to go through all of that mess. x.x I don't know anything about being on meds or dealing with anyone in the psychiatric field of doctors, but it's unbelievable the way they treated you. I am glad that were finally able to get the treatment you needed and are slowly putting yourself back together again. Also, again, don't worry at all about sharing or even venting, whether it's art or just posting. It's never a bad thing to express yourself, especially when your deep in trying times like the one you went through and are still pulling away from. It's never a good idea to keep everything bottled in with no-one to express it too, and that much I know from experience. One thing to really take away from this is that, despite warning us all about being withdrawn this month, you managed to pull through not being on meds and dealing with terrible service from your care facilities: I think that says a lot about how strong you are and dealing with such tough situations. I consider myself of having to deal with a stressful job as a store director to a retail store (especially one for emergency community assistance), but I don't deal with anything close to what you go through, so I really have to tip my hat to you. You are a very amazing and spirited person, Tsu. :D I do hope you, too, stay safe and well and always be sure to keep us updated on your well-being. It's always good to hear that despite going through rough times, you are still okay. :)
