❗Why There’s No New Post Today (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone,
Today’s post was hidden by Patreon’s moderation team due to a report claiming it violates community guidelines. I strongly disagree with this decision and have already submitted an appeal asking for a proper review.
⠀
To be clear: there was no sexual content in the story, and absolutely nothing that glorifies violence. It was a fantasy transformation piece — emotional, dramatic, but not explicit or rule-breaking in any way.
⠀
While Patreon investigates, I’ve decided to share my appeal letter openly so you can see what’s happening behind the scenes. Thank you all for your patience and continued support — it really means a lot to me!

Dear Patreon Team,
I was both surprised and deeply upset to see that one of my recent posts (https://www.patreon.com/posts/127452251) was hidden with the explanation that it allegedly violates Patreon’s Community Guidelines concerning the depiction or glorification of non-consensual sexual acts or coerced consent.
As the author of the story in question, I must strongly disagree with this interpretation and respectfully request a review of the decision.
First and foremost, I want to clearly state that the story contains no sexual content whatsoever — let alone any depiction of sexual assault or non-consensual sexual acts. The content is part of a fictional narrative in the genre of transformation fetish, where a male character is transformed into a female character through magical means. The purpose of this story is emotional exploration, internal conflict, and gender identity transformation, not sexualization or glorification of violence.
The situation described is fantastical and deliberately exaggerated for dramatic and psychological effect. The emotions the character goes through — confusion, anger, loss of control — are the core of the narrative tension, not a pretext for sexual content. As someone who has personally experienced bullying and harassment in the past, I find it especially painful and offensive to be accused of promoting violence of any kind.
If your moderation team has identified specific parts of the story that you believe violate the guidelines, I kindly ask you to point them out explicitly. As far as I can see, there are no scenes of sexual activity, consensual or otherwise, in the text. The entire story is written within a well-established literary subgenre that explores transformation, identity, and psychological adaptation.
These kinds of transformation scenarios have long been a part of literature and art. Consider Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, where the protagonist wakes up as an insect, or more modern works that explore gender change as a metaphor for internal struggle. My story follows in that tradition, within the particular niche of fetish fantasy — but always staying within non-sexual boundaries.
Additionally, this is not the first time my posts have been hidden or removed, seemingly without clear explanation or review. I have growing reason to believe that someone among my patrons may be deliberately reporting my work, and that these reports may lead to content being taken down without thorough context evaluation. If that is the case, I respectfully request that you let me know who this patron is, so I can have a direct and constructive conversation with them about what they find offensive in my stories.
Lastly, I believe it’s important to point out that if someone perceives sexual violence in a story where the author never intended or included such themes, that may be a matter of that person’s interpretation, not of the content itself. Interpretation can vary greatly between individuals, but that shouldn’t result in a blanket judgment against an author who creates within artistic and respectful boundaries.
I kindly ask you to reconsider your decision, clarify what specific content triggered the moderation, and allow me an opportunity to adjust the story if necessary to comply with the guidelines — provided that I receive concrete and detailed feedback.
Sincerely,
GreenTG
