"pete buttigieg is just a faggot" applies to abdl too. if you're not concerned about this i recommend changing your mind before it's your turn.
first hypno, now ABDL. Patreon can't just go after all kink or all adult work in general right NOW because they know we'll pitch a fit about it-- we have in the past, we can again. but if they keep trimming around the edges and shrinking the circle of What's Acceptable, then eventually they can lessen the impact when they do enact a blanket ban on NSFW stuff. or they can just keep a very, very narrow vanilla definition of sexual content on their site so they can SAY that they still welcome adult work, technically.
it consistently drives me nuts that so many sites and services online build momentum through providing a service to adult content creators, but then treat those creators like garbage whenever they need to look "respectable", to investors or CC processors or whoever. this attitude creates a weird dichotomy where porn is seen as this easy industry to get ahead in-- everyone wants it! it's easy to make! and it's disposable, so there's no need to try and make it good!-- but it actually requires this crushing grindset mentality. you need to raise enough attention to get fans, but not SO much attention that the moderation team on whatever sites you're advertising on notices, all while constantly looking over your shoulder for the next tidal wave on the horizon.
the big reason i've continued to post my comics and art on Patreon is because of name recognition-- it's way easier to get people to sign up to your subscriber-only blog if they already have an account and they don't need to learn how to navigate a new website-- but if this is indicative of a trend, or even if enough people SEE it as a trend to start leaving en masse, i'll have to start exploring other options. it's annoying and it sucks, but it's The Business.
also this is why i pay $5 a month for Cohost Plus, because Cohost is kind to its pornographers 
this is a little outside my wheelhouse, im probably the most boring, tame fucker on this entire webbedsite and i probably wouldn't have even heard of this if it wasnt for you here (which imo says good things about people here being willing to stick up for people)
but this is just by-the-books divide and conquer all over again
we've seen it over and over for the past decade and change - well, a lot longer really, but we've been going especially hard with purity culture and conservative bullshit recently
it's the furry litterbox thing, ugh
it's "are aces really queer?"
it's ejecting bi folks who happen to have a hetero partner
it's "split the T," LGB Alliance, trans exclusionary shit
and yeah it's specific kinks that look like low hanging fruit to isolate and pick off
and there's not always a lot you can do, like, a small community of statisticslly underpaid weirdos (affirming) probably can't materially fight visa or whoever if they decide you're the one in today's crosshairs, aside from directly supporting your fellow weirdos through whatever avenues remain
but like, this is tried and true conservative strategy. recognizing it has got to become basic information sanitation, and when you do recognize it, at least don't join in the purity bullshit and throw your comrade weirdos under the bus
