I think the expressions were changed because Patreon's started to scrutinize that kind of stuff more harshly.
Patreon's non-consensual policy. Eromancer did the same with Pure Onyx changing the female protag's facial expressions. At least on this project that policy didn't seem to be used as an excuse to prolong development time.
Patreon's bullshit is getting more and more annoying.
"Don't do this or that cause reasons fuck you"
"Don't make the protagonist look sad or make the sex too rough because it looks like rape herpy derp derp we're fucking braindead"
They're pretty fucking inconsistent about it too. One creator can make porn of a girl taking a horse cock or a dragon cock up her snatch, another creator can't make porn with facehuggers etc.
How long until they just ban porn completely? Patreon's run by twats
I wouldn't mind consensual sex, I prefer consentacles(kind of a niche thing from what I've seen), but it doesn't feel right if the creator is doing it because he's being censored by a platform run by shitheads.
Although in this case, is it really censorship or did Mox just change his mind? Looking at some of the other patreon posts where the protagonist has a cheeky smile on her, maybe he just wants to make her be kinkier from the beginning. It is implied that she might want to fuck the plants if we read the document in the starting room saying to not fuck the plants because they're company property.
