Any idea when the subscribestar profile would be able to recibe donations?

@Officer Hotpants  
I’ll take that as a “yes”.

@Princess Luna  
“Against Racism” yet you’re moving to a site that allows racist speakers and ‘alt-right’ to flourish in stark contrast to the actual gestapo tactics used on Patreon.
 

 
Powerful stand against racism guys.

@LOVE  
Ironic.  
They could save others from Racism, but not themselves.  
Or something.

@Northern  
You are conflating the joking stuff with the serious stuff (yes, it exists, sadly), but yes, saying Patreon should go after foalcon and the like because of hurting kids is incredibly off-base; Patreon has ruled Cteno is underage by using utter Australia logic, and I’ve never seen art actively encouraging people to hurt kids in real life.  
As to the other thing, do recognize that us listening to the userbase isn’t because we need a lot of help from them (there is nothing anyone can do except switch donations when possible), but because we actually care about providing something for users.
 
@LOVE  
Standing up to racism does not mean running away from anywhere there happens to be racists, but in fact quite the opposite, to stay around to counter their message on shared platforms, and to deny the actual racism (and not things that just happen to be related to it) on platforms one controls. We do not control SubscribeStar, and we would hope that it takes action when people are actually trying to get others to be racist.

@Princess Luna  
I have no doubt you do care, I just believe it to be misguided to label some jokes off limits because the administration cannot understand the humor in them and the cultural value they have to a community within the pony community. I’ve already made what I believe to be a very solid case that these rules are being applied unevenly and the very wording has problems in and of itself.

>Fictional art depicting morally despicable things doesn’t encourage people to do these things in real life  
>Also fictional art depicting morally despicable things encourages people to approve of/do these things in real life
 
Uh.

I’m going to be banning people from here on out who try to derail this into just the usual “rail against staff with pre-determined talking points”.
 
@ManualReplica  
Completely twisting words; depiction and promotion are very different things. Fetish art doesn’t say “go out and do this”, unlike an image with a pony literally telling you “gas the kikes”, which is (along with caring what people do off of its site) why Patreon’s policies are clearly more about appeasing outside parties than any interest in what it causes.

@Officer Hotpants  
Yo fam, you’re gonna make her lock another 10th thread for being off topic lol

@chucklefarts  
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this post because you may not quite understand that an allegation of hypocrisy without explanation of how is more talking about a person’s character than their post. I will not be letting you just constantly argue, however.

@Kolbjorn  

 
I Guess not 😋

@Kolbjorn  
I’m pretty sure the moment it’s approved, it would be visible on the page as such; it’s not like we could give any ETA, you literally would find out at the same time we do.

@Princess Luna  
No that is literally the exact same thing. Rape images that depict actions that are immoral and illegal irl are the same as “edgy” joke images. How is “le gas le jews” somehow a call to action, but scores of underage depiction of art and rape about “I wanna fuck this filly mare meat” not? Again, there is NO evidence that rape porn or “drawn pedophilia” doesn’t make someone more likely to fantasize and eventually do these things.
 
By the same argument for banning edgy racist humor, you are saying edgy sexist and pedophilic porn is somehow more moral and good.
