This "hook" wouldn't allow for him to get around Patreon's censorship. In fact, it just makes it easier for Patreon to censor his comics, once they discover what he's doing. If he's getting away with it, it's because they haven't noticed him yet.Thanks for the answers, but I think there is a "hook" which allows for more.
His stories have markings.
Patreon ban stuff because in most western countries it IS illegal.
Not to be depicted in a computer game...
The UK is not "most Western countries". The draconian porn laws which the UK has passed in the past two decades are not indicative either of most Western countries or of most developed countries. Australia has followed suit, to some extent, and has gotten pretty heavy handed with their laws regarding porn, but that's still a long way from "most" countries.Actually yes, because you can be can be arrested for distribution illegal of porn if it's illegal.
As with most things, the laws vary from place to place. For example, bestiality is illegal in most places, but buying porn which depicts real acts of bestiality is not illegal in many of the places where bestiality itself is illegal. And selling porn which depicts real bestiality is also not illegal in some places which ban it. (Buying and selling legally questionable porn are treated differently in some places. In some places, it's illegal to sell, but not illegal to buy or own.) In many of these places, it's only the act of bestiality which is criminalized, so that the performers and production crews who made the porn were committing a crime, but people who sell, buy, or own such porn are not committing a crime. Also, porn which features artistic representations of bestiality (stories, drawings, 3D renders, etc.) is exempt in some places, because some places only criminalize real bestiality.
And, depending on where you are, these same rules may apply to things like incest porn, rape porn, and so forth. The TLDR is: It's just not true that Patreon bans things because it's illegal in most Western countries. The stuff that they're censoring is not illegal in most places. Patreon is not acting in order to stay within the law. This was very clearly shown from the beginning. Many people forget that Patreon didn't begin by censoring porn. They began by censoring political speech. Then they moved on to censoring porn.
