This is Shinji thinking a girl talking to him is third base all over again.
I guess. And the signature on this image is actually quite clever.
Why would an artist put something like a Patreon watermark? That gives publicity to Patreon, not the artist. That’s what signatures are for. Like the one in the lower-right. Which is really good, IMO.
Regardless, the consensus is that it’s an
[obtrusive watermark]. And I agree. (Though I’m starting to think it’s just that Patreon has a very negative connotation to me.)“Don’t give content thieves publicity”
I’m sure the artist made his or her own decision to put a Patreon watermark there. This isn’t like My Little Brony/Cheezburger. This isn’t the only artist to put a Patreon watermark/logo on their art. I’ve seen worse watermarks. I saw one person who was censoring naughty bits with the Patreon logo. At the least, it was amusing. Not a big deal on this image. I’m neutral towards the use of watermarks, put they can be screwed up. It’s fine in this case. I’m pretty sure it’s how it is on the artist’s other images too.
What’s the big deal? It’s in a corner, not covering the face or any of the naughty bits.
Do we have a version without the watermark?
That makes sense. I guess under that, this would be borderline.
Given legal precedent in some countries, if Patreon wants to operate internationally, defining pornography to exclude art could cause a ton of problems. It’s borderline with the ponies, but if a Patreon funded artists drew loli or something it could cause HUGE issues. I don’t know what the situation is in the US but in some countries (like here in Canada), porn that would be illegal if it were photographed is still illegal when drawn; specifically CP, possibly also things like zoo.

Strange. It may not be photography, but it still fits under this definition. Why would they disallow real life porn but allow exemptions for anything that isn’t real? That still leaves the door open for plenty of dirty images, whether they fall under Rule 34 or not.

Well, this has been a pretty damn long hiatus. I’m surprised the fandom is still as active as it is at this point.
hang on, there’s thousands of this artwork were people used to do this all for free
why am I paying someone to see content again? :P
The FAQ and guidelines are not clear on this, but I remember an artist saying that Patreon reps told them only real-life porn falls under the forbidden “pornography”. No paintings, models, or other art, digital or not (in which case photographs of this art does not count as pornography, either).
I don’t understand how so many porn artists are on Patreon, given that they don’t allow porn.
“Pornography is not allowed on Patreon. “Pornography” is defined as material designed with the sole intention of eliciting sexual arousal”
