>>2224 Believe me, if I could spend the 6-12 hour days required for putting out quality animations, in this fantasy world of yours where I could cram this hobby in with regular 9-5 work, and where my bills and expenses magically paid themselves, I would. If you'd ever tried animation yourself, you'd never say something so entitled and asinine.

Unfortunately, being a hardcore hobbyist hikkomori who parisitizes their parents or lives on robust Japanese social welfare, isn't a realistic proposition in the West, and I didn't think it's unreasonable to receive the support of backers who want to invest in the development of my content, which some people greatly enjoy and want more of.

As an aside, I'm also confident in the quality and polish of my own work, and its objective superiority to 95% of the shite you'll find on DLsite or any number of image boards or boorus. It may sound egotistical, but browsing through tons of shitty niche content as a consumer and being unable to find any high quality stuff was a big part of why I started animating myself.

All said, if you don't like my stuff, then by all means don't back it. If it's as shit as you say it is, then you lose nothing by not seeing it anyhow.
