Recent Patreon Guidelines Update (Patreon)

Hello you wonderful Deviants,
Recently Patreon updated their guidelines which will affect a lot of NSFW artists.
You can read guidelines here if you have any interest yourself: Community Guidelines — Patreon
The Guidelines state "It is paramount that Adult/18+ creators demonstrate consent in all works (real or animated; photo, video, written, audio) between adult participants or characters; specifically, a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of consent by a statement or by a clear affirmative action. Additionally, participants and characters must be able to give consent (i.e. not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, hypnosis, blackmail). “Consensual non-consent” works, in which participants or characters engage in simulated non-consensual encounters, are not permitted. Accompanying a work that features a non-consensual encounter with a statement claiming that the encounter was consensual is a violation of Patreon guidelines."
TL;DR: content needs to be crystal clear that it is consensual.
First, ALL CONTENT I have posted has been consensual.
And that is the thing I want to focus on, "consent", which is where other NSFW are being most effected. I have historically done this through facial expressions or pleasurable moans if/when i do sound. Simply stating it is consensual isn't enough.
But to ensure there is no ambiguity, I will be trying to add some more indicators where I can, "little love hearts coming off the people" type thing, and i'll probably have to limit facial expressions to exclusively happy (no surprised faces type thing) - so im sorry if that removes any immersion. But Last thing I want to do is get banned or in trouble, so I hope you can understand.
