Otherwise, it was nice having you here.

Sorry for the hassle.

A lot of guys think “toxic masculinity” is a demonisation of all things masculine, but there’s a reason why it’s called “toxic masculinity” and not just “masculinity”. In Denmark we have two shows that illustrate the difference clearly.

The first pictures are from a show called “Real Men”. It’s basically about men who are so controlled by toxic masculinity it’s killing them. They refuse to eat greens because ew, real men only eat meat. They drink too much alcohol and drive everywhere because god forbid they do any kind of exercise because that’s gay/womanly. They’re so afraid of looking feminine it’s slowly destroying their lives. The show then tries to teach them a healthier way of life so they can be there for their families, especially their children.

The second set of pictures are from a show called “Shoot and Eat”. It’s a hunting and cooking show in one. The older hunter has to shoot an animal with the help of the younger cook who will then prepare the animal with the help of the hunter. In between they do things like build stuff, try new types of beer, have fun with gadgets, goof around and chill in nature. It’s a celebration of the masculine without the toxic part. They don’t ridicule women and the feminine while they have fun with their man stuff. It’s one of the longest running programs here because it’s popular with women too. You see, women don’t mind men being masculine, they just don’t like toxic macho boys who constantly put women down to feel more important.

Occasionally the young cook will worry a bit about looking feminine but the hunter is having non of that. At one point they had to braid rope to build a bigger thing and the cook asked “Isn’t this a bit girly?” and the hunter just responded “I love braiding. It’s so relaxing” There, drink your beer and shut up, boy.

So masculinity? Yeeeeeessssssss. Toxic masculinity? It’s literally ruining lives.

A Sun God. She has power over all of Nature. Keeps everything alive as best as she can, and always pushes herself to do better. Often to the point that she's burned out and unable to do anything for weeks. The clouds look up to her, as she's the one that decide their fate. Whether they fall into nirvana or stay as mist, is all up to her.

PATREON BACKED DOWN!!! 🎉🤘🎉🤘🎉

[thebibliosphere]

Creators and Patrons,

We’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re not going to rollout the changes to our payments system that we announced last week. We still have to fix the problems that those changes addressed, but we’re going to fix them in a different way, and we’re going to work with you to come up with the specifics, as we should have done the first time around. Many of you lost patrons, and you lost income. No apology will make up for that, but nevertheless, I’m sorry. It is our core belief that you should own the relationships with your fans. These are your businesses, and they are your fans.

I’ve spent hours and hours on the phone with creators, and so has the Patreon team. Your feedback has been crystal clear:

The new payments system disproportionately impacted $1 – $2 patrons. We have to build a better system for them.Aggregation is highly-valued, and we underestimated that.Fundamentally, creators should own the business decisions with their fans, not Patreon. We overstepped our bounds and injected ourselves into that relationship, against our core belief as a business.

We recognize that we need to be better at involving you more deeply and earlier in these kinds of decisions and product changes. Additionally, we need to give you a more flexible product and platform to allow you to own the way you run your memberships.

I know it will take a long time for us to earn back your trust. But we are utterly devoted to your success and to getting you sustainable, reliable income for being a creator. We will work harder than ever to build you tools, functionality, and income, and our team won’t rest until Patreon is making that happen.

Thanks for continuing to create. We are nothing without you, and we know that.

If you haven’t sent us a note yet, or if you don’t see your concerns listed above, please leave us your feedback here.

Jack.

Please no one make fun of or criticize Patreon for doing this.  The customers complained and the company fixed the problem.  That’s what we want companies to do, preferably without having to campaign for it first.

[thebibliosphere]

I’m seeing so many people being snide and shitty about this and honestly miss me with that shit. Even if them losing money was a deciding factor in this retraction, they didnt have to go back on it. Patreon makes enough money from big subscriptions in the long term, that it could have afforded to let the little creators die. And the majority of bigtime creators would have let it happen too. Don’t forget there are big names on patreon, who would have ultimately continued to thrive and keep patreon afloat while the rest of us drowned.

What we have here is a company making an ill thought out decision that primarily would have affected the little people, and the company taking note of our rightful outrage, holding their hands up fully accountable and saying “we’re sorry, we wont do that.”

And it wasnt a non apology either, it was a seemingly sincere mea culpa with a direct follow through on Not doing the shit thing which would have cost us all more income the moment it launched.

Guys, this is how we want businesses to work. We want them to be held accountable, we want them to apologize when they do wrong, we want them to listen to us and work with us and do what is right. And I dunno if it was driven by financial loss or ethical business concerns, possibly both. But the point is they did it. They were held accountable and corrected their actions. A little too late perhaps for some of our liking, but all the same it’s a good positive step not to be downplayed by fatalistic cynicism about how everyone is ultimately evil and greedy.

This is a good thing that is making many of us breathe a sigh of relief. Stop trying to detract from that. We know the world is dark and full of terror, we don’t need to be reminded of that. But sometimes we need to be reminded of the light.

Just a heads up Patreon has plans to change their pricing model and its caused a lot of users to drop donations

I thought I should explain this on this blog because this is the only blog I have that regularly gets monthly patreon donations and its good to spread this information.

Patreon slammed after pitching fee hike as boon for creators

I’m not here to encourage you to donate or not donate to my patreon for this blog, I just want to explain what’s going on:

If you like my blog and want to continue donating to me, I’m grateful, but if not I can also understand that. I’ve already lost one monthly donor this month, probably because of the change in structure which heavily punishes those who make multiple donations.

If you want to support my Canadian Politics blogging you can do so here.

If you think these proposed changes will hurt your chances of supporting my blogging in the future, I can look into other websites I can use instead. I’ve seen patreon users online who are already losing a fair amount of monthly donations due to this:

If you could share this so other Patreon creators are aware of these coming changes I’d appreciate it. This has the potential to negatively effect a lot of artists, bloggers, and creative people online who depend on donations just to survive.
