Patreon switched my page to adult/18+ category

Hey all, just a heads up that Patreon out of nowhere automatically switched my page from All Ages to Adult/18+ because I assume they flagged my comic with topless mermaids in it.
I tried to appeal because this seems absolutely ridiculous, since I highly doubt it would've been flagged if it were topless mermen instead of mermaids.

The attempt to appeal ended with an automated response basically saying I need to remove all images with sexual content/nudity (in my case just nudity if it can even be called that, since I never make sexual content) from my page.

I thought about going through my posts to remove all "nudity" that may be at risk of getting flagged, but I decided against it because it meant I won't be able to post anything in the future that may be deemed "nudity" by Patreon.
Personally, I strongly disagree with what Patreon constitutes as "nudity" but I cannot fight against their automated flagging system and responses.
With much discontent I'm keeping my current category Patreon shoved me to avoid restricting my artistic expression.

Fuck internet puritanism, we all suffer🖕 (I can say fuck now because it's adult content yay🖕🖕🖕)
