WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU.

MY CC ALWAYS HAVE BEEN RELEASED WITHING 15 DAYS, BECAUSE PATREON HAVE THE OPTION TO AUTO POST FOR PUBLIC, SO IT CAN’T HAPPEN THAT MY SHIT STAYS LOCKED AFTER THAT TIME.

DON’T FUCKING TRY WITH ME.

OOOOOH DARLINGS, YOU CAN BE SURE WE ARE BUILDING OUR LISTS AS WELL. SCREW YOU.

I GAVE EVERYTHING TO THIS FUCKING PLACE FULL OF FUCKING CRAP, I HAVEN’T SLEPT FOR NIGHTS, HAVEN’T EATEN OR WENT OUT WITH MY FUCKING REAL FIRENDS (SINCE I HAVE SOME), OR HELPED MY MUM AND DAD WITH DAILY STUFF BECAUSE I WANTED TO FINISH A PACK OR A CC BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH, BECAUSE I FELT TERRIBLE AT THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WERE PLEDGING FOR NOTHING, OR STRUGGLE TO HAVE THE CC I WAS WORKING ON. AND I EVEN NEVER HAD A FUCKING CENT OF DONATION BACK UNTIL I LAUNCHED MY EARLY ACCESS PATREON THAT WAS E A R L Y A C C E S S, SO NO COMPULSORY IN DONATING MONEY, (PEOPLE WHO PLEDGE, GIVE MONEY FOR TIME, THEIR ARE BUYING TIME, NOT THE CC BECAUSE THE CC IS FREE AFTER TWO FUCKING WEEKS). EARLY ACCESS THAT MADE ME ERAN 80-100$ PER MONTH, MONEY THAT I HAD TO SPENT FOR MEDICINES AND TO REPLACE SOCKS AND PANTIES ONCE IN A WHILE.

SHAME ON YOU.

AND NOW YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO PUT ME AND OTHER CREATORS IN THIS LIST? I’M NO LONGER WEARING A YELLOW STAR ON MY FUCKING CHEST BITCH, THE LIST ERA IS FINISHED. YOU FASCISTS ANTISEMITE ASSHOLES ARE SPLIT. I’LL REPORT YOU FOR THIS LIST, AND THE ONE THAT THE OTHER KAREN MADE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I HAVE TO BE PUT IN THE SAME BOOK AS THE EXCLUSIVE PEOPLE, THEN YOU KNOW FUCKING WHAT? I’LL BE FUCKING EXCLUSIVE TOO,  ONCE MY CURRENT EARLY ACCESS ITEM IS RELEASED.

FUCK EA AND YOU ASS LICKING DOGS.

I ONLY FEEL TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS SUPPORTED ME BY WAITING FOR THOSE TWO FUCKING WEEKS. I LOVED YOU. AND I’LL STILL LOVE YOU WHEN YOU’LL START TO HATE ME. BUT AT THIS POINT I’M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THIS CRAP.

BLAME THESE BITCHES, NOT ME. I’M A HUMAN, AND I HAVE FEELINGS.

I really need the community to put their foot down. There are multiple creators saying that they’re going to continue Early Access. Listen, as a creator myself, I’ve had no issue with EA because I saw it as a middle ground to the perma paywall and people who did stuff for free.

But now people are feigning confusions, claiming that EA is not being clear when it comes to early access. It took me a few reads myself but now people are just reaching. I understand it can be hard to give up what people see as their main source of income but it's time to be serious.

"Regardless of whether they donate." That includes both Paywalls AND Early Access. Alot of creators say they rely on EA for an income but they're willing to risk years of work? If you're reported, EA can take you down at any moment for disregarding their TOS.

(Source)

Yes we know it's your main source of income, yes we know you work hard but instead of the sob stories and guilt tripping...have faith in what you create. Have faith in the people who pledge to you.

If your content is good, the money will continue to come, sure a handful of people might stop pledging but these are the people who joined because they felt like they HAD to give you money in order to access your content. You shouldn’t want to make people feel like they HAVE to support you. They should feel like they WANT to support you because of who you are as a person and what you bring to the table.

You can also find other ways to bring in money;

donation goals with gifts

commissions

providing “behind the scenes” type content where you show someone how you made something

providing tutorials

There is wide range of what you can that doesn’t involve making the community feel like they OWE you.

As for the community...

It’s on you guys to push for your favorite creators to follow these new guidelines.  Because if they don’t; we’re back at square one where we allow people who: formulate false cease and desist orders, threaten to quit when they think the cash flow is gone, say they’re cutting ties with EA only to convert their objects to the game for the people who pay them, just TOXIC people in general will continue to thrive here and leech off the community.

Along with that, there’s a chance that the creators you like that are still doing early access or finding loopholes against EA’s wishes won’t be around a few months from now if EA is serious about holding creators accountable and from what I’ve seen, they are.

Leosims has been on one since day one and hasn't stopped.

To this day they are still out here like nothing ever happened. Leosims genuinely thinks they've done nothing wrong and that's the issue here

whattttt??????????????????????????

So Rubyred posted a letter on her social media claiming it was a cease and desist. However, I have evidence that this letter is FAKE. Yes FAKE. Allow me to show you:

Now I contacted a wonderful simmer on Twitter who has a lawyer friend and some pretty good detective skills:

So let's see what he found:

and use it look up almost any creator in the community. You can see what they earn and how many people are pledged to them. Even when those numbers aren't visible on a creator's page this site can ball-park pretty well.

They know they're making a style of cc their current followers like, that’s why they have multiple accounts that follow the same format. One person will want that clone cc so they'll pledge to main. Pledge again (to alt account 1), pledge a 3rd time (to alt account 2), then pledge a 4th to (alt account 3).

It keeps going on and on like a hamster wheel because no one calls them out and no one nips it in the bud. So that single person would be charged 4x the money because no one speaks up.

It’s a problem when you and other weirdos do it so blatantly because it’s to garner money from the same people multiple times under the guise of pretending to be someone else. It’s really scummy and myself along with others will call you out on it.

Yikes on top of that! I never said you steal from people but thats real funny that you say that. I think that’s your conscious eating away at you. I said what you're doing is scummy because you're pretending to be someone else with a completely separate Patreon account, with a extremely similar style of cc that, say, a person pledged to your main might like.

You know they will pledge again and you are effectively taking double(unknowngirl), triple(whimp), quadruple(fruit) the money from one person. It's SCUMMY and you saying that you don't steal from people is just your internalized way of recognizing that you do in a way haha.

And if people in the community are so annoying then why are you still here? You sure don't seem to have an issue with taking their money :)

EDIT: I also LOVE how I didn't tag or even reblog from you and yet you answered my initial post as though I did. This is why we know you're on alts :|
