Hypnosis Content Update
Added 2019-06-14 19:16:39 +0000 UTCIt seems that Patreon has adjusted their guidelines regardling acceptable content. They are now taking a dim view of hypnosis/mind control, classifying it as a form of rape. As a result, several creator's accounts have been suspended until they remove all hypnosis content from their Patreons.
As a pre-emptive measure, I've taken down all of my own hypnosis content from my Patreon page to avoid becoming suspended myself. This content can still be found on my online galleries, and I won't stop drawing it on my own time, but it'll be at a much more limited capacity.
I'm sorry to anyone who is disappointed by this turn of events. I'm pretty bummed out myself. Thankfully, hypnosis makes up just a fraction of my content and everything else should be unaffected.

That's not my comic, that's Sethpup's. You can find his Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sethpup

Meesh
2019-12-02 22:49:15 +0000 UTCI understand that limits some of the original parts of some comics but y have a lot more on your Twitter page than on here. For example I can’t find the Pride story

2019-12-02 22:42:36 +0000 UTCIt’s cartoon porn. That’s stupid. It hurts nobody.

2019-06-17 21:25:22 +0000 UTCFucking ridiculous, holy shit. Ughhhhhh

2019-06-16 08:29:16 +0000 UTCA fictional means of mind control on fictional characters is crossing the line huh. Good to know.

2019-06-16 05:23:27 +0000 UTCIt may not really be my thing to begin with, but that sucks hypnosis is being turned down by the site.

2019-06-15 12:12:42 +0000 UTCDoes this mean we won't be seeing a Turn About part 3?
Tyrion Erikson
2019-06-15 09:26:50 +0000 UTCOh, that sucks. I just pledged today and was all ready to get into that, ha ha~ Do what you need to do to make quality art and also get the money you need to live on. I'll do my part to support your outstanding work!
CatCouch
2019-06-15 06:40:47 +0000 UTCGrr patreon needs to stop being such cunts about sexy art
Setekh Chaos
2019-06-15 04:47:47 +0000 UTCDoes it matter if you do the hypno eyes but don't say it's hypno? I'm still gonna follow you till the ends of times
SpicyTodo
2019-06-15 02:42:55 +0000 UTCThe thing that people don't understand about hypnosis is that it doesn't work unless you consent to it. This is the same for voodoo and other occult stuff; So can't be rape if you're willingly put yourself out there sexually.
LeonDelRed
2019-06-15 02:01:31 +0000 UTCMeesh no! D: Some of us are subscribing to you because of your interest in hypnosis work! Don't let them do this to you, please! D:
Alexander717
2019-06-15 00:39:33 +0000 UTCWhile I'm not bothered by hypnosis being no longer welcome on Patreon, I'm getting fairly irked by Patreon's increasing 'nanny' nagging.
Vawlkus
2019-06-15 00:39:09 +0000 UTCNnnf. Hypno content is getting harder 'n harder to find! Your content is some of the more high quality I've found recently too! It'll be sad to see if drop off your Patreon, but that just means well need to keep tabs on your other content sites for hypno content when you do it.

2019-06-14 23:26:04 +0000 UTCoh no :(

2019-06-14 21:51:15 +0000 UTCThat sucks. I always liked your hypno stuff. And ur art looks so nice in HD.

2019-06-14 21:48:23 +0000 UTCThat sucks....
Tyrion Erikson
2019-06-14 21:37:12 +0000 UTCPatreon really seems to be doing everything they can to drive away business through content policing. I feel like in another few years another site will have come along with much less restrictive content policies and most artists in this space will migrate there.
minoan
2019-06-14 21:28:42 +0000 UTCI'm probably going to stop pledging, as the hypno stuff was the big draw for me. If you ever open up on a more hypno friendly platform, I'll be happy to come back! <3 your work.
Fenoxo Fenfen
2019-06-14 21:18:45 +0000 UTCJesus, before you know it, patreon is gonna start banning nudity, and then bikinis, and the require that all female characters wear huge bulky dresses. This whole thing is getting really stupid tbh. Its bloody fictional characters, in a fictional setting, and these idiots are acting like its hurting real life people or some shit.
Kitsunelegend
2019-06-14 21:07:09 +0000 UTCI'd gladly pay slightly more for my pledge to support Meesh on a censorship free platform run by people who care about their creators.

2019-06-14 21:05:03 +0000 UTCWell, at least I'll have my Platinum downloads hahaha :)
Sparky
2019-06-14 20:55:14 +0000 UTCDang, that's annoying. Hypnosis isn't my thing but you always took great pains to make sure that you're stuff was explicitly consensual, which I really appreciated.

2019-06-14 20:32:32 +0000 UTCI appreciate you pointing out that Patreon doesn't have much of a choice regarding these guidelines, and I will continue to support you and other artists here. Thanks!
FurBucks
2019-06-14 20:28:16 +0000 UTCRemoving pledges will only hurt the creators, not the platform. Unless you support the artists on a different website.
Meesh
2019-06-14 20:22:54 +0000 UTCtime to quit patreon accounts to show them they are on the wrong way
2019-06-14 20:19:55 +0000 UTCI appreciate it!
Meesh
2019-06-14 20:19:35 +0000 UTCNot if their payment processors threaten to pull the plug! That's my theory, anyway.
Meesh
2019-06-14 20:19:27 +0000 UTCI don't believe that this shift in guidelines comes from puritanical sensibilities, but influence from outside sources, and that Patreon perhaps has no choice in the matter. It's still a bummer, though.
Meesh
2019-06-14 20:18:06 +0000 UTCThat's sad. Yet another wave of Patreon censorship. During the last wave I removed all my support from the platform except for you, Meesh. I love your art but I hate like hell to pay into this corporation. Hopefully they don't censor you further.
invidious
2019-06-14 20:13:19 +0000 UTCWell that sucks!
Sparklefox
2019-06-14 20:13:14 +0000 UTCCould have sworn patreon was created with the content creators in mind....

2019-06-14 19:59:03 +0000 UTCMy bad!
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:57:17 +0000 UTCConveniently, the final part of Turn About has no hypnosis at all :P
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:55:52 +0000 UTCQuick question tho, where can I follow to get any hypnosis content you do make in the future?
unmakeyourself
2019-06-14 19:55:32 +0000 UTCNuuuu!! I want to see more tiger getting it XD

2019-06-14 19:51:08 +0000 UTCI don't think they would make allowances for Hypno Toad!
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:44:48 +0000 UTCThank you! And I'll still enjoy making it on my own time. :)
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:43:47 +0000 UTCThat really sucks, I'm a big fan of your hypnosis work too. But it's understandable that you've taken this stance on the matter!
2019-06-14 19:43:28 +0000 UTCAny hypno art I make from this point forward will not be included in the roundups.
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:41:54 +0000 UTCSome people have taken a bigger hit over this than I have. I'm glad that a majority of my content isn't hypnosis... it would be a big deal if the comic I am currently doing was hypnosis-oriented. Thank you for your support!
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:41:20 +0000 UTCAw man, huge bummer. Your hypnosis content was among my favorite.

Meesh
2019-06-14 19:39:09 +0000 UTCYou should get back at Patreon by making a Rule34 Hypno Toad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Admiral Fail
2019-06-14 19:38:40 +0000 UTCThis sucks, but better for you to be safe than sorry. Will any of the hypno art be included in the monthly roundup .zips?
Psycat
2019-06-14 19:37:21 +0000 UTCThat's okay, Meeesh we still love you. Not the biggest fan of hypnosis (I Dont dislike it), but its still a blow and it sucks you have to take this step. Keep covering yourself and doing beautiful work sir!
BroodsTheMoods
2019-06-14 19:36:43 +0000 UTCDamn, that doesn't even make sense. You can't make someone do something they don't want under hypnosis.
Strawberry Puptart
2019-06-14 19:31:52 +0000 UTCIck. I dont blame you for taking measures now. It just sucks Patreon is yet again mucking things up. Actually... is any of the stuff still in the monthly roundups so I can nab the high-rez versions from those?
2019-06-14 19:30:01 +0000 UTCNevermind that all of my hypnosis content is highly fantastical in nature and wholly unrealistic.
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:28:23 +0000 UTCThey're certainly taking no chances.
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:26:27 +0000 UTCThere's no reason I can't make hypnosis content on my own time-- it just can't be posted on Patreon.
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:25:48 +0000 UTCOdd considering that hypnosis IRL requires complete consent to work.
MeepsKitten
2019-06-14 19:25:28 +0000 UTCYes, my hypnosis content will go to my FA, Twitter, etc instead of Patreon. I could still use the funds from Patreon to fund hypnosis content without actually putting it on the Patreon itself, which would allow for continued regular hypnosis content. However, my business model is based around paywalled content, and this method doesn't sit right with me. I can still scribble out the stuff on my own time-- it just won't be as polished.
Meesh
2019-06-14 19:24:59 +0000 UTCI have a SubscribeStar in my back pocket for if things get really bad, but I don't feel like a complete shift to SS is warranted just yet.
Meesh

2019-06-14 19:20:15 +0000 UTCDoes this mean that your hypno stuff will go to FA directly?

2019-06-14 19:19:24 +0000 UTCWill you still make Hypnosis art and post it somewhere else? I'm just now getting into it and now that Patreon is taking it down, that really sucks! :(
