Cocksucker runs a patreon - meaning an adult, able bodied man begs for charity. So fuck his complaining about anything related.
Honestly, I'm amazed how running a patreon (or any analogous action) is considered to be ok within the right-wing. Oh, it's a parasite, but it's our parasite, I guess.
It had its place when most of them were getting demonitized for existing on any other format, leaving it as one of the only ways to be paid to make content outside of direct merch. Now that isn't as much the case and yet people beg like it is.
That's why I like the guy Wendigoon, as milquetoast and a little gay as he can be at times, because the moment he reached enough subscribers, he just closed it and instead relied on making more content directly to make income.
I think it depends on the content, doesn't it? Some Patreons (using the term loosely; the actual site Patreon itself is left-aligned and should probably be avoided) are essentially like self-publishing a magazine, where the reader is essentially paying a monthly fee for access to articles, or videos, or whatever. Even set ups with less content behind the paywall, where the Patreon is functioning closer to a tip jar with a handful of goodies thrown in, don't bother me if the creator produces regularly. In fact, I think a big problem on the right is a relative lack of patronage. We don't have as many people employed to produce and influence culture as the left does, we haven't over the past six-seven decades, and the results show in the left's dominance, only more recently being challenged and still far from broken, on most mass media cultural fronts. If any right-wing artist/writer/producer can make a living off producing right-wing media, even if they do it through crowdfunding-type systems, I think that's a good thing as long as they do actually produce quality content on a repeated, semi-regular basis.
On the other hand, this guy's Patreon appears to have been last updated in 2023, so yeah, fuck him.
