We are here talking about some hypothetical negative publicity. The outrage about what Sargon said is rather contrived and I suspect most of it is an act.

  It just doesn't make sense for patreon to care about whether this outrage is contrived or not, any negative publicity over their customers could hurt their margins a lot. Payment processing is hard. I'm not saying it should be so, but Patreon isn't to blame for that.

    More than what the outrage over the censorship of other viewpoints are? To me what they are doing seems more like an act of faith in social justice that is most likely really bad for their business

      I rather doubt that outrage over Patreon banning users to keep their payment processors happy would hurt their relationship with said payment processors.

        In the call with Matt Christiansen they said this was entirely their decision. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U0mQjUA0T5INc_GDkwPJ2mfhO7tbaIogisSqqxHw0hc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U0mQjUA0T5INc_GDkwPJ2mfh...
