Patreon has a reputation for censorship, yet despite this, many Christian content creators use Patreon for subscription revenue. (Evangelical Dark Web built its own system to not get canceled.) Joshua Haymes a, Christian podcaster and founder of The Forge, a resource that sells family worship material announced on Tuesday that Patreon had ended his account for violating terms of service.
Joshua Haymes announced.
Today I Was CANCELLED For Being Too Christian! Help me fight back! (Please REPOST) For the last year and a half, I have been laboring to start a Christian media business called [The Forge]. Today… After over a year of building, I had one of my primary income streams pulled out from under me. Namely… Our [Reformation Red Pill] PATREON. Today I was completely de-platformed from Patreon. And for what? Violating their “community guidelines.” Apparently their “community guidelines” exclude orthodox Christianity entirely. ALL my content is designed to equip Christians to build, defend, and expand the kingdom of Christ. If you’re a Christian who believes we should apply the word of God to all of life, Patreon HATES you. If you’re a Christian creator who has your exclusive content on Patreon… They can de-platform you in a heartbeat and steal your livelihood from you, all because you refuse to bow the knee to their Marxist, secular, leftist religion. Patreon, and other companies like them are actively trying to excise true Christianity from the public square. The truth is, Patreon understands that if we Christians are successful at getting our message out, their whole leftist political agenda will fall to pieces! CHRIST IS KING! HIS GOSPEL IS FOR ALL WHO WILL REPENT AND BELIEVE! AND HIS WORD IS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL OF LIFE! This message is dangerous and they know it. And so big tech companies like Patreon try to kill little Christian content creators in the cradle. We may have just lost a third of our income… But the truth is, I am grateful! Now we know where Patreon stands. EVERY SINGLE Christian content creator should pay close attention. It’s time to ditch Patreon! We should make Patreon the next Budlight!
Haymes asserts that the censorship is over contempt, but the email implies that the reason for the deplatforming was that they are alleged to be selling “ingestible items… claiming to help cure disease.”
So it appears that Patreon is so stupid that they think that Joshua Haymes is selling literal red pills.
