Greetings, you've probably seen my posts here before but I'm a user of F95 and I'd like to clear some things up for the supporters here and people who may be unaware of a few things. Keep in mind I am simply a user and not involved with staff/development in any way.

1)F95 while it IS a form of a piracy site we actively encourage and push our users to support and buy games legally if they enjoy the products found/uploaded to the website, each post ALWAYS has links to the page where the project may be purchased as well as links to the developer's monetary support pages such as patreon, subscribestar etc etc... -I personally have supported Mofu's works after finding out about them through F95, the first being Cursed Futanaring-, and while we can't control what others do there, there are a good number of users there who DO end up purchasing the titles they enjoy and that's added revenue for the artist who deserves it, better some than none at all I'm sure everybody would agree?

2) Witch-hunts aren't something we promote in any way, this is shown if you simply browse the website, any call for one is quickly quelled and put down by moderation as well as fellow users. We're all adults and we all just want to have a good time with the fetish games we enjoy, the same can be said for here I'm sure.

3) We actively encourage artists to get involved in F95, you would be surprised just how many developers post their own works on the site and how many supporters they end up gaining by doing so, again take a look around at posts and you'll see actual testimonies of developers thanking the people there for financial support. We think Mofu would be a fantastic addition to plug his works at the website and undoubtedly gain financial backing he might otherwise be missing.

4) F95 has a community of translation volunteers who help to make these products accessible for others who may not understand them in their native created language, I was able to enjoy Cursed Futanaring due to the efforts of a community translating enough of the game to enjoy and finish from beginning to...A certain point then efforts fell apart, people have even stated once the game is translated properly they will purchase it again, myself included. While I do understand enough Japanese to enjoy the original fully now the extra effort shown from the creator goes a long way with the community. The website does a lot more good than people might believe.


Thank you for taking the time to read and understand we're not the bad people Lip painted us out to be, give it a look and I'm positive you'll see for yourself.

We arent out to cost the artist any unfair money, people discover people like Mofu because of it, I am one such person which has given him more money than he would have had without it. I'm glad you are understanding we're not demons like we're made out to be though.

This is not the problem, the vast majority of users of such sites just download the game and are not interested in the developer and help in development. And not only that, just posting your project on a pirate forum is not a good idea, I don’t want to offend you, this is my personal opinion

Well you're wrong unfortunately because people who weren't going to buy it in the first place would have found it elsewhere, and I'm not speaking for other websites, I'm speaking for F95 only here. We at least attempt to get the artist SOME monetary gain out of it, also as I previously mentioned it helps people -discover- said artists, there would have been no gain even minimum if people didn't even know the artists existed so it's not exactly a loss in piracy if you think about it, four out of ten people then purchasing said product they found is a +4 in business sales no matter how you spin it, there are people who won't buy regardless and there's nothing we can do about them then there's people who will. You take the bad with the good, that's just business.

Thank you for your advice, I will look into it. I think that places where a lot of people congregate often generate piracy, but they also provide an opportunity for people to get to know my work. I will consider using that place when I expand my activities. I appreciate your conscience.

You're welcome, I hope you'll at least check out the website and give it an honest look instead of listening to people with clearly bias opinions.
