I wonder what particular hate crime this delightfully vivacious and inoffensive chick could have possibly done...
...drawing a fucking blank here, anyone else got any clues as to what Patreon is banging on about?
Or even why Patreon still exists at this point?
Bueller?
I aint been following this.
I only heard about it only 6 hours ago myself. Patreon were knocking people off its roster a few years ago for something they called "Manifest Observable Behaviour" (Lauren Southern and Carl Benjamin were among the first I heard to be kicked off under this MOB rule) and just about wet myself laughing when Patreon subsequently launched an ad campaign claiming what a great platform they were for generating revenue for creators after fully a third of their patrons walked out on them for it.
Basically, it goes like this; if you do something Patreon doesn't like, they can ban you for it. Whether you do it on their "platform" or not is immaterial. Carl Benjamin was kicked off for making fun of white supremacists to their face, Lauren was booted off for discharging a flare gun in the Mediterranean somewhere. At least that appears to be their reasons, Patreon are not in the habit of being forthcoming with explicit reasoning as to why they deny service to people. Which I don't mind saying makes them an incredibly unreliable company to do business with, especially after all the donations they've absconded with over the years.
I'm surprised they still have the money to keep the lights on. Then again, so does MySpace.
