You may or may not have heard of "The Sarkeesian Effect" which launched just before Sept. Their project is to interview various people and explore Anita Sarkeesian and those like her. They have said many times that they will be fair and not put anyone's public information out there. But those against this project have been trying to get it shut down since it was launched.
This morning the CEO / Co-founder of Patreon said this on the subject:
You may or may not support the "Sarkessaian Effect", but think how many youtubers and content creators actually use patreon. Now pretty much everyone has a patreon, everyone with massively different views or goals. I personally don't think that if someone steps out of line with what patreon agrees with, that their patreon should be shut down and that is what could happen right now. Show this to those who use patreon has a source of income and warn them.
