Adult Content Creators Put Up Fight Over Patreon's Anti-Porn Rules

Adult Content Creators Put Up Fight Over Patreon's Anti-Porn Rules

SAN FRANCISCO — Hundreds of adult content creators worried about Patreon’s new community guidelines to make its rules involving porn tougher have posted an open letter advocating for the crowdfunding platform to alter its stance.

As of Wednesday morning, about 800 individuals have signed the letter, which seeks a reversal of its new policies that threaten to shut down campaigns of those who produce porn for online consumption, including cam services.

The 800 individuals who signed the online letter at OpenLetterToPatreon.com were asked to reveal their associated organization and indicate whether they were a creator, patron or other supporter. That data is included in a Google Forms document on the site.

In the letter, advocates ask for an end to discrimination on the crowdfunding site.

“Your fuzzy position on adult content vs. porn gives you the freedom to discriminate at will,” the letter said. “And it makes content creators live in fear of that discrimination, itself leading to self-censorship of important viewpoints.

“We ask you to take a stand on behalf of the sex workers who use your platform, their fans and everyone who supports freedom of expression,” the letter said. “Take a stand behind your creators who make revolutionary independent content.”
