Just to weigh in, I think the issue with the story going kind of downhill is ultimately that the most paraphilic people out of the audience are those that give the most money. The story is clearly gravitating away from the sexual dominance of brad and more to the sexual submission and humiliation of milksop. I still support the Patreon for the occasional regular, straight content that originally attracted me to the story, but I can't help but admit it seems to be slowly being phased out.
Ultimately, the issue is that the only people willing to really throw money at the author are the people who are very deeply into things that the original story wasn't quite about. I have a feeling this is how many, many Patreons go. I've heard a lot of artists are actually sickened by the furry porn they themselves draw, and do such paraphilic content only because it pays more.
Trying to be non-judgemental and politically correct about the whole thing, though. If it really goes even further downhill then I'll probably just silently retract my patronage and look elsewhere. There's not much else to do at this point.
