In this article, we’ll guide you through updating your profile name on Patreon. This will change your display name whenever you publicly comment on a post. Note that although Patreon does permit profanity in creator or fan usernames that don’t violate any other Community Guidelines, username profanity can’t attack another person, ethnicity, or protected group. Here are a few examples: ”FuckHarris/Trump”, “FuckMuslims/Jews/Christians”, “Fuck[Creator username].”
Changing your profile name is not available on the Patreon app, so make sure you follow these steps using the desktop or mobile web version.
