Former AFP Patron Thoughts/Questions
Apologies if this is the wrong place, I couldn't find a dedicated sub for afp but there's a part of this whole situation and her involvement that has been deeply bothering me.
i used to be heavily involved in the afp fan community - i still have friends I met there, I interacted with Amanda more than once, got my ukulele signed at a concert, the whole bit.
i also gave her money on a monthly basis for literal years.
the entire time that NG and AFP's son has existed outside of Amanda's body, she has talked about using patron funds for childcare.
She raved about the kids nannies, in posts where she would talk about joining her patreon to support her making art.
and she was NEVER paying these women??
it's so fucking fraudulent! even if she didn't ever explicitly say that patrons were paying for childcare, that was absolutely the impression given to me and other patrons. childcare was always high on the list when Amanda would talk about where the money goes.
so I'm here to ask - am I alone in this? are there other former patrons who had a different impression? did amanda ever say "i COULD be paying for childcare but i am choosing not to because the art of asking"? do you think she could face consequences for this? do you think she will?
