What if Patreon wants to be family friendly, and allowing the selling of porn on Patreon ruins that image?
Seems like a business opportunity for another website to take that niche, a "Porntreon" if you will.

There are, of course, things which are not suitable for children, frightening things, disturbing things, content related to immoral behavior.
But if you ask an American, the destruction of life is far more suitable for children than it's creation. Patreon has no qualms hosting videos fantasizing mass murder and death [1] even when those videos are obviously aimed at children [2]. Is this really family friendliness or merely some strange flaw in our psychology without moral or philosophic basis?

If you want to be a global platform, morales are tricky to get right.
I believe it's best to let the consumer decide. Force people to mark their content as adult and hide adult content by default. Maybe with age verification to enable it, for countries that want that?
