VSPO weird war against the coomers:
If you browse their guideline:
- Annual income of douijin/fan works must not exceed 200000 yen (~1k2$)
1k2 might seems big at a glance, but if someone set to say 5$/month on patreon, they can not have more than 20 patreon members.
- Physical prints at events are capped higher at 400 000 yen/year
- if you have higher than said 200 000 limit. You must submitted your work and goes through review by VSPO
- Cosplayers with patreon/paid-photo/onlyfans also counted
- Even if free, all sexual depictions are banned.
(all of this is in effect since company founding, don't blame brave or "woman", except for the all free sexual depictions are banned rule was added later on June 2021)
Due to heavy regulations by VSPO, after some ... research. I found out that there are almost no VSPO hentai on pixiv (and 0 on patreon). What VSPO fan"artist" do is posting SFW art, and then link to a discord, sometimes you have to converse with the "artist" to get an invite link, after all that then you'd get to pay the "artist" (artist in quotes because most of them are AI slops anyway). The price for entry also got driven up like crazy with $10/month being popular and some goes as far as $25/month. The sad thing is dumbasses are likely paying for it due to the forced scarcity of 18+ shit introduced by VSPO themselves.
We are literally witnessing a mini-drug war between VSPO and the coomers. Seems like one of them "druglords" got caught and VSPO is announcing it to the world.
Edit: the druglord in picture has decided to delete all vspo content.
