Again, though, I cite Patreon and Itch.io as cases where it was a third party, all he did was develop the game.yeah everything, you and others even acknowledge he antagonizes people before this shit started going down, this has nothing to do with if he was right or not. he does/says things that end up putting a foot up his arse. deserved or not isn't my point. i feel like he gets an unfair rep and isn't as bad as he is made out to be most of the time. but to say he didn't antagonize a crap ton of people with his behavior is delusional.
Speaking to the issue of telling age, there's the potential for the school setting to have been their red flag, that's how Harem Hotel got flagged before and it was because a character was wearing a uniform often associated with middle/junior high school in Japan. In the case of Harem Hotel, it was a lot clearer what their problem was and the fix was outright stated, which then resulted in the removal of that uniform as an actual school outfit for the character. In the case of LiL, they wear school uniforms that can be seen at the high school level in Japan, but there are also two characters that are pretty blatantly at a Patreon forbidden apparent age.Since they allow games with adult content, it doesn't make any sense that someone at Patreon would have directly told him to remove all of it. At the same time, apart from the blatant incest, they probably weren't able to draw a line at exactly what constituted an underage-looking character - because how can you?
So while removing it may have been the only way he might have been reinstated, since they also don't allow off-site patches to add content they disallow, the whole plan was very obviously never going to work to anyone who wasn't irrationally desperate to retain their supporters on the best crowdfunding platform.
Put yourself in the Patreon rep's shoes - if someone rewrote their game to become such a ridiculously stupid parody of itself, and plans to patch it off-site were already on the public Discord before the appeal was resolved, you would correctly think they were insulting your intelligence. And if you were that Patreon rep's manager and they asked you what they should do in that situation, you'd probably tell them just to ban the dev permanently and cut off all contact instead of dealing with such a blatant bad-faith actor any further.
He went ahead with such an insane idea because he's greedy and thought he'd lose money going to another platform (it was only temporary), he's stubborn, and he thinks he's the smartest person in every room he's in - not because anyone at Patreon promised him it would work.
He treated the people at Patreon like NPCs and got rightfully burned for it. Nothing more. And he felt so personally aggrieved at the situation that it's enshrined seemingly forever in an event inside of his own game.
There was also an attempt to ban the art style of Koikatsu and any other anime based one by Patreon for this very reason, though it got serious backlash causing it to fail.
He's banned in the Harem Hotel Discord? As I am not in that server and all my Harem Hotel news comes from F95, this is the first I'm hearing of it.Going through the first care package right now and what did Selebus do to get banned from the Harem Hotel Discord?
