If you check the twitter from this artist, one of the tweets mentions how it was feeling a hellish despair and several hours of anxiety.
It really sucks to have your chosen purpose in life forcibly taken from you.
On the plus side, he plans to finish and distribute the doujin he's currently working on, as long as he doesn't receive any direct word from the studio.
From my understanding Khara has released two more aclarations with respect to their new guidelines since the first statement. So no one on this side of the globe knows what is going, and given the spectacular failure of Rebuilds in terms of being done at a reasonable time, i'm going to guess that this regulation is mostly posturing for the last release and once the focus is on other things Movie and Olympics off, everything will be business as usual.
And someone old enough to remember the early 2000 products from Gainax, they did their own porn books and some animators released their own H-doujin in comikets.
In general the whole thing looks so stupid in paper, because Only Mogudan and Kawaraya were doing Eva lewds in the last 3 years or less, with most circles jumping ship after R3. That is the real state of the R-18 side of the fandom that is mostly death, if someone says that it was made to target them, i couldn't even say they're creating a conspirancy, because these two are the only victims on sight. *shrugs*

Yeah, the reason Gainax was cool about Comikets/ Doujins was the company was founded by fanboys and artist alike. Sadly, their buisness as a whole went into fhe ways of Otaku no Video...where the dream ended with CEOS and takeovers.
This news tears me into pieces! Ive been a longtime fan of Mogudans Rei since my 1st con back in the 2000s! After all these years...its sad he cant illustrate Rei in Doujins anymore ( his was one of the very best! I still own em'!)...still, i'll always love his work and glad hes still illustrating!
