Actually Patreon had little choice in the matter. I ask ChatGPT: "Did credit card companies or banks stop creators of adult games on Patreon from including incest," and this is what the AI returned.
"Yes, credit card companies and payment processors have influenced the policies of platforms like Patreon, especially regarding adult content, including themes like incest. This issue stems from a combination of legal, reputational, and compliance concerns.
Background
- Payment Processors' Rules: Major payment processors such as Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal impose strict guidelines on what content they will process payments for. Certain themes, such as incest, bestiality, and non-consensual scenarios, are often explicitly prohibited because they may violate laws or community standards in various jurisdictions.
- Platform Enforcement: Platforms like Patreon rely on these payment processors and must align with their rules. This has led to Patreon enforcing restrictions on adult content creators, particularly those involving taboo subjects like incest, even in fictional works.
Specific Incidents
- In the past, creators of adult games or other media have reported being required to alter their content or remove specific themes in order to remain compliant with Patreon's terms of service.
- Patreon updated its guidelines in response to pressure from payment processors, making it clear that certain types of adult content, including themes of incest, would not be allowed.
The Broader Implications
This dynamic highlights how third-party financial services can effectively dictate what types of content can be monetized, even when such content is fictional. It has led some creators to explore alternative platforms or direct funding models that are less reliant on traditional payment processors."
So is not really Patreon's fault. Certain kinds of adult content cannot be marketed and sold on Patreon because Patreon is unable to process payments for such material internationally via the channels they use. Respectable financial institutions don't want connection with mother/sister/daughter/auntie/grandmother fucking it seems.

Could be, depending where you are, that nieces and first cousins are verboten too!
