No longer a fan

Hey RC. First time commenting, and probably my last; I supported you several months around when your Patreon first opened because I enjoyed Rudolph's Revenge (yet supporters got no real content or really any updates for supporting, still I did it because I liked your work). Still in my opinion RR is your best flash, and judging by everything surrounding this project you're working on, it still will be for a long time to come. I was unaware of what was happening with this project fully, only that you were working on it. I figured I would check up on it in due time as it seemed to show potential. Fast forward to today, and well in all honesty, this project seems to be riddled with poor decisions. I personally only wanted to see Sixten in (as i saw a few other people did as well, some civil about it, others not so much.) as Rudolph's Revenge was the peak of your content. He clearly had plenty of room to be in, based on the scope. He also clearly had enough people wanting him in. I saw you respond to a few people asking saying "I'm not gay". I found this line of thinking incredibly strange. Not only have you made gay content multiple times, but an artist can create depictions of anything and everything, and not be guilty of whatever is in the fiction they create. An example would be, if you created a picture of your character getting murdered, does that make you a murderer? No, it also means you can create such a thing and be exempt from whatever implications that entails, as it's fiction. As you've done in the past. I've seen you say a bunch of other things too that looked like cheap excuses, like "Sixten isn't gay", meanwhile all of your characters outside of one or two get raped and one of your characters is Asexual apparently, but that never stopped her from being in your flashes? So I thought whatever, maybe next project you'd be more inclined to listen to your fans. THEN I actually looked back at your news posts and I saw the idea of Sixten making it in next to Zu was removed because... Well because you wanted to insert a character that nobody cares about nor asked for. So an interesting dynamic and good idea was replaced with an "Original Character". Another cat girl, very "original". The only reason a couple of people said they "wanted her" is because they didn't want to see Sixten get it up the butt. Yet there's a bunch of ways around this to appease those people as well, or you could've just said you can't appease everyone, why not try to fill in the most requested character from your fans (based on what I've seen in your comment section) and those people still have all these other ways to avoid seeing Sixten and everyone still wins? Nope, you instead opted to deny something your fans keep asking you for, while again giving the weirdest and ill-thought out excuses. Again I think, "Okay well that's strange, but maybe-". Then I saw what you're doing on your patreon, and I finally get it. You're charging 20 dollars to have your fans, get this, bug test your game for you. You're having your fans, do your work for you, and charging them for it. You aren't releasing some form of content to be gated behind a paywall you made, no that at least makes sense and everyone's gotta eat right? Or giving them exclusive content or anything like that. No you actually chose the only time to give anyone anything in months, the one time you need them to do the work for you. I see you think very little of your fans and the people that support you. So without a whole lot of regret, this will be my first and last message to you RC. There's a lot of artists out there that don't treat their fans with disrespect like this or try to act like a slimeball and squeeze money out of their fans to do their work for them. This project based on your decisions surrounding it, will be a hard pass from me. I wouldn't even play it for free. There's a lot of other better artists who actually respect their fans, who are worth supporting and looking at their work. You're very clearly, not one of them.
