Alright, English is not my natural language and my skills are certainly worse than I want to believe, so I can be wrong. But reading this let me with the feeling that the community is safe.
I mean, he past is time swinging between, "we don't want porn", and, "the adult content will stay permit". By example, take what he said about the actual content versus the new rules. He started by reminding that the rules say "no incest porn", then he added that anyway there's no such thing. I can't imagine a single second that he don't know who's the first adult content creator on his site and that his game have a lot of incest (it's almost the only sexual content actually). Same, I can't imagine that he don't know that there's a game formerly named "Dating my Daughter" in the top 50 of the donations, or that the team don't reported to him the enormous number of times the word "incest" was found.
So, for me, he's trying to comply between two opposites positions that normally can't coexist. And that's why he just can't be precise about what "pornography" mean. More or less he defined it as "live/real content", but without restriction to this sole content. I understand that both creators and ourselves fear for the future, but I think that we see the problem from the wrong side.
He just can't be more clear than that because what's behind "adult content" don't mean the same for us than for the good christian he also talk to. Take the movie Dead Pool by example, I don't remember it as a porno, still it's a movie for adults... As long as he stay vague about the definition of "pornography", puritans will think that there isn't sexual content in Patreon, and that's we all want... And like the content is now always behind paywall, they'll not see it.
Stay clean seen from the outside, and people will imagine what suits them. For me, it's his goal and what he tried to explain... just hope that I understood correctly and not messed while reading between the lines.
