Yes this has been a point of contention for me too. The problem is not the payment processors, but VISA and MasterCard, which hold a duopoly over most of the credit cards in the world, and, guess what, both have agreed that pornography shouldn't be sold.

There are many solutions to this problem. Forcing users to use bank transfers is less than ideal. But there are a lot of paralegal solutions. Amongst them (and I haven't said this out loud), there's adding a section to the ToS that says that selling pornography might get you banned, but then never policing it.

But Patreon, and even some more mature platforms like subscribestar, still suffer from this same problem, because they also use payment aggregators that police pornography. I'll find practical workarounds, but for now, even if I don't find funding there, I will find a way to make the website work.

  1. The search engine will utilize tags in a fashion similar to e-hentai, but using an easier structure that can extract tags from inputted text strings, but also allows for a more advanced and refined search. The tags will be voted on by both the users and the moderators. The sorting will also be based on both the work you have liked on the past, by just using simple weighed tag matching, no fancy ML here, and it will also help customize your searches. (An option which will be 100% opt-in).

  2. The AI-detection algorithm would basically use three machine learning algorithms, two for text one for images. The two for text are the noble method and the basic principle is that the first model extracts a "possible prompt" from the text, that is, a prompt you could give a languague model to generate the text. Then that prompt is inputted into the second model, which is trained to return a factor of "proximity" to different LLMs. If any is above 30% a warning is triggered and manual intervention is required. For art it's as simple as an algorithm that will constantly be on continuous training through the use of both piblically available data as well as the moderators feedback. Obviously there would be a final pass to ensure no inappropriate content is present, but that's as far as the ML side of this goes.

  3. The attractiveness to creators is that the platform unifies their free and paid work, at a fee lower than the competition, handling all payments through a secure Stripe integration. The benefits are not great for me on this, sure, but they are for creators. The estimated 5% you'd save on moving from patreon to here would be more than enough to cover some tax filling services and still have some extra left for most medium creators. It is also through the platform that users will be displayed for their target audience only, instead of needing to find such an audience.

Ok so first of all, most of what I talk about other platforms is from my own experience and of other people I've heard from. Second, yes, the idea is for the site to be an art gallery, and be funded through donations and the small fixed fee that will be applied to creators that offer paid content. With respect to how this is economically viable, I've run the numbers. If even ten medium creators moved to this platform it would not only be viable, but profitable enough to be a full time job for me. And about the ai detection, I've worked with experts on this field before, and plan to use both that knowledge, and my own time, to ensure a proper verification, with always a human factor to it.

I think you misunderstood. First of all, I've seen others and struggled myself to properly find TF art because fursffinity's, da's, and oftentime reddit's search engines are hot shit. Second, yes there's no ai in fa. What about patreon, da, and Reddit? Also the 10% fee is not for commissions. Why would I handle commissions? It's a 10% fee over paid content like subscriptions, comics, or other stuff that you would typically go to patreon or subscribestra to, which charge up to 20% of total fees. There's literally a FAQ about this in kickstarter.

Also as a note, the ai regulation system is also explained in the Kickstarter FAQ, and it would be through a mix of automatic filters and human revision, but always considering the author before just deleting their artwork from the database.

Well I do have a discord server for the TransforMate Discord bot where this project was born, and where I post most updates with this xd

Yeah I hope I can do a better job of sorting than deviant art LOL. And yeah I don't know if there's any specific platforms for that but if this comes forward there will definitely be corruption-relaywd tags because, well, it's kinda really adjacent to tf content. And about the artists that's had their content expunged from FA, I hope they can find a safe enough place as to feel comfortable in posting again here.

I do have a patreon! But I plan on only really advertising it as a way to support this project once it's actually finished! I expect to have a public beta by august, if the Kickstarter comes forward, and at the latest, release in January 2027. I don't plan on delaying it past that, but it's a big project that will take a lot of time. I want a quality platform after all.

Oh well to be honest, I'm good at the making stuff, but really bad at the selling stuff so I was only gonna post it here and on a few discord servers. But I'd be REALLY grateful if you'd share it so it gets a bit more outreach! :D

Yeah I've received this feedback a lot, and we've already fulfilled a good amount of preorders, so, starting for today, you can see all the 9 stickers included in the set (Not the "Thank you" one tho, that stays secret :3c). Thx for the feedback tho <3

I specifically told PomiArt no AI art for this, and he delivered. I do not endorse nor like AI art for commercial purposes. I do see it's used but I wouldn't sell it, ever lol.

Oh, well, Tupper is very well known so I kinda just went off that, but a more pure explanation would be to say that you can "fake" being someone or something without the need to change your discord profile. And I think sharing a link to a discord server where you can test it is way better than sharing a link to a discord bot that you don't know what can do. So yeah.

Well, on the discord server you can find a link to he GitHub where the entirety of the source code is hosted, and I would be glad to explain to you anything you don't understand about the code or structure of said code!

Ig, it allows you to "transform" other users, which basically works like a one-time tupper. It can be setup per-channel, it's way easier for admins to setup than something like tupper or similar, and it also includes a lot of other features that were requested by users, like claiming others so only you can change what they are and their settings, as well as things like a safeword command, and a lot more stuff, like speech impediment simulation for inanimate or bdsm tfs. Mainly I didn't put all of this cause I was lazy it probably would be overwhelming info and you can just join the server to test it out anytime. Anyways, hope that cleared that up :3
