Something That’s Been Weighing on Me: A Message I Need to Share
🕑 Added 2024-08-25 19:36:28 +0000 UTCHello everyone, (A special comment for all Kemono people. )
I want to talk about something that's really been on my mind lately. In the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that all of my images from Patreon are appearing almost instantly on other sites. To be honest, this has left me feeling quite hurt. 😔
I understand that it might be well-intentioned, trying to make the content available to those who can’t afford to support me on Patreon. I know all too well what it’s like when money is tight. There were times in my life when I could barely make ends meet. That’s why I want to sincerely thank everyone who supports me here on Patreon – your support means more to me than I can put into words. ❤️
However, it’s not easy for me to deal with this situation. I suspect that two people from my community are responsible. I can pinpoint when the image ripping began, and while I’m not angry, it does make me sad. It’s tough to see all my work being shared immediately without any control.
I want to clarify that I don’t have an issue with my content being shared later on. But almost in real-time – that just doesn’t feel right and seems unfair to me.
I could make the public images on Patreon private and only send the links via DM or email. But that’s not what I want. I’m looking for a fair solution for everyone. I regularly upload parts of my images for free on Twitter, so those who can’t support me financially can still see some of my work. For those who want more content, Patreon is an option to support me. This has always seemed fair to me, and I would like to keep it that way. 👍
To the person copying my content, please feel free to reach out to me via DM. I’m not angry or resentful, but I would like to see if we can find a compromise. However, if I’m forced to use the DM and email solution, the free uploads on Twitter would have to stop, as I would need to spend more time writing DMs. Given that there’s a certain "follower count" on the site (currently 231 followers) viewing my work, I would then only upload one image from the current uploads directly to Patreon, so people there can at least see if the quality of my work is worth supporting.
I’m feeling quite lost and overwhelmed in this situation and hope we can find a solution together that’s respectful and fair for everyone involved.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for your support, in whatever form it comes. 🙏
Kind regards to all (including those who probably see this text on the other website)

For what it's worth, Tera deserves the support as they generate some great AI girls. Even at $5 it's good value for how often they are producing content. Please consider supporting Tera through Patreon and/or reposting their shared content on Twitter to help with reach :).

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve spoken with the person who uploaded the content here. We’ve cleared things up, and this upload is happening with my consent. I understand that many of you follow and appreciate my work here, and I’m truly grateful for that. It’s important to me to be open and honest with all of you, which is why I’m writing this message. I would be very happy if no one uploads my work to Kemono for now—at least not with auto-upload. Please allow some time to pass. For those who don’t want to wait: You can find me on Twitter under TeraToxin, where you can see some of the images almost instantly. I also want to thank you. While you may not have supported me on Patreon, I can see that many of you enjoy my work (231 favorites don’t lie). As mentioned, you can see a lot of content on Twitter. However, Patreon is really important to me financially, and I rely on it. If you have any questions for me, I’m always available on Twitter. You can also send me your requests and suggestions, and I’ll see what I can do to fulfill them.
