Patreon alternative for banned categories

[troufas]

Hello, i am writing up story for a game and it can't work without some incest and a lot of non-consensual/hypnosis sex in it.

Before i get too much into it and i start programing it i would like to know what are my options for monetization with those things in mind.

I've seen from some previous threads, most of them 1-2 years ago, that subscribestar is a good alternative. Is this still the case? Has there been any new ones or did SS make any unwelcome changes?

Subscribestar probably at the moment.

On a semi related note I seem to remember there was a platform called Hatreon, whatever happened to that? I suppose a google search is in order.

Doesn't seem to exist, at least from a fast google glance.

I read on another comment from an older thread that someome had circumvented the tos bans on their steam game by leading to a patch outside of steam once you installed the game. Could something like that work for patreon or are they too white knitey about protecting their ToS?

Edit: Although the above would only work with incest, as i can't see a way to hide the non-consensual behind a patch without butchering the game

As long as they don't find out about it. Violating their terms is one thing, circumvent their temrs is another cup of tea.
Sure, a lot of devs doing something like this via a patch or even an inbuild code/variable. I'm not the Patreon terms expert and from what I've read before their TOS is very unspecific. Also in addition to their terms, never forget to be aware of your own country's law.

How do other games get around it? I've played some visual novels (not gonna name names), but in one you drag an unconscious girl back to your basement and fuck her right there. Of course later she wakes up and confesses she likes that kinda stuff, but that's definitely non-consensual. And this game is on patreon. is it just a matter that this scene is buried a couple hours deep into the game so patreon doesn't know?

The non-con isn't much of an issue unless we are talking about real porn, they seem to be much more leniant towards it with artwork.

The incest most people circumvent with a patch.

Bestiality and loli are the ones that they enforce harder once reported, so if you plan those consider subscribestar.

You must be registered to see the links

Are you serious ? Google return me 13,800 result when I search for it. Including a link to their site where you can see "This site's services were suspended by VISA in November of 2017. You may request to be notified via email should we become active again. "

Good catch, almost forgot about that!

I just searched again once normally and once incognito. On the normal search i just found links to reporting sites and blogs referencing it. On the incognito one i found more or less what you described

I will 100% not have any loli or bestiality in the game, that i can be absolutely certain of. I am worried about the non-con angle though, cause if i have to do extreme word juggling to avoid the ToS breach then the story might suffer.
