I wanna share just one last thought about the Patreon debacle before putting a pin in it and refocusing on things again;
This mess affects all of us in the community, whether you realize it or not. Even if you somehow think Patreon is in the right, it's still really bad for you.
I don't plan on writing another massive post about this, but even after we've reached a new stable normal after this massive fucking upheaval, we'll never know how much art we'll have lost out on because of the time spent on doing damage control for the next few months.
Fucking support your favourite artists (within your means).
If they make you happy, they need you now more than ever.
