So, for my two cents -
as a PEOPLE we have a certain bias based on where/how we were raised. When i looked at people eating incests in china and Thailand i was grossed out because - i was not raised that way, that's it, it isn't not legitimate to eat it, and this is just a small example but this is how we are, and most people would say "eww thats gross" but it isn't - and that is the root of the issue.
This thing is here, that incest has not always been bad, in fact, according to some research (i think i saw it in a documentary called "Smarter than an ape") it is indicated that early Human arched away from the apes because of a "mutation" (not sure if thats the right word) cased by incestuous relations - due to incest many offspring were born with weaker jaw muscles, (which in its original strong form, took up a lot of room above the skull) which created less strain on the skull, allowing the brain to grow/develop/evolve more and have a more developed learning and communication portion. i should look it up and post it here.
The issue here is, as you said it, should be allowing artistic freedom, and if you want to offer claim "Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for artists and creators to get paid." - you can't limit what people create, especially based on laws, because there is no end to it - according to this:

here are some retarded laws:
You may not have more than two dildos in the same house.
Flirtation and "lascivious banter" between men and women on the streets may result in a 30-day jailterm. (in Little Rock.)
It's illegal to sell stuffed items resembling breasts ("boobie pillows") within 1000 feet of a highway.
No man shall dress as a woman without the written permission of the sheriff. (In Walnut, CA) - imagine what uproar this can cause in todays society
All sex toys are banned
It is illegal for a man to be sexually aroused in public.
and in while there aren't many countries that are like this, according to Wikipedia, incest is legal in both Japan and the Netherlands.
Also on the same subject, Patreon's community guidelines say(

):
"We understand that some topics on this list such as incest or rape are a little bit more complicated because these situations are, unfortunately, part of real life. As a result, when reviewing this type of content, the Trust and Safety team will take into consideration context including personal, historical or educational narrative. For example, survivor stories or fiction such as Game of Thrones or Lolita are allowed on Patreon."
so what the hell is teh difference in the fiction of DmD and GoT?
My question for you guys is this.
if we start a petition against Patreon and paypal to allow complete artistic freedom, and we reach *all* of the creators (at least the ones for sex games), and by doing that have them reach out to all of their subs/members, do you guys think we can effect this?
