Hey!! If you are an artist or have moots who are artists...there is an account that is putting some artists on a block list that is misrepresenting them as "loli/lolicons". Please check if you or your moot was put on said list and please report it.

Will delete after the situation is dealt with, but wanted to request that everyone reverse image checks their art and uses BIG watermarks from now on to avoid having your art stolen and illegally sold like me!!!!

⚠️ THEFT ALERT ⚠️

DO NOT BUY FROM SUNFLOWERADOPTS

Hey just as a heads up, there's an Etsy account that looks like it's stealing bases and YCHs and trying to sell them as their own.

Lots of stuff here that is definitely not theirs

I've posted about the tricks art scammers have used before, a new thing I've seen is these godawful price sheets. Keep an eye out for any accounts using this stuff #scam #furry #artistsbeware (Alfur.org is legit, just sadly a target of impersonation)

I know it's late as fuck when posting this, but would really appreciate some help getting this out.

Softbarkz is a genuine danger to creatives online if they feel THIS justified to go after a complete stranger off delusion alone— let alone with legal threats.

BEWARE OF A FALSE COPYRIGHT CLAIMER 🧵

Twitter user @/HellaHeckinGay (softbarkz here) falsely DMCA'd my partner's sona and claimed that it is a "rip off" of theirs.

Smooch, @tundrasugar.bsky.social's sona, has existed for some time now. Lovecore isn't just for you.

More info in alt texts!

#furry
The upper left corner has a fursona named "Smooch". The character is a 2 foot tall demon "imp" character inspired off of the rubber hose style but with a twist of lovecore. They have a long cat-like tail, light pink markings that go up to their elbows and knees, as well as darker pink swirls on the knees and cheeks. They have a heart shaped marking on the face, and a pink bow collar colored the same as their pink markings, and a golden bell. The eyes are dark purple, as is the nose, with the classic rubber hose eye style. The upper right corner has a fursona named "Zero", which is a 3 foot tall red border collie with a white facial marking and stomach that stretches down to the inner thighs. The pawpads are pink with a light pattern. The head is a saturated red, as is the tail, but the body color of the design is a dulled red. There are a total of 7 hearts on the stomach of the design, and then continue onto the inner thighs. The design has a black nose. The eyes are a type of heterochromia, with the eyes on the left of the reference sheet displaying black with a pastel pink heart pupil. The right eye is pink, with a black heart pupil. They have a magenta colored collar with a star shaped name tag. Both characters have small wings. Both characters are different enough that the average person would not confuse them. The image is a cropped screenshot of a DMCA claim that both OP (Moth hippie) and his partner (Tundra Sugar) received that falsely claims copyright to a design they did not create. In the description of the DMCA, it is quoted as "Original digital illustration of my fursona: a red lovecore border collie with darker red hair and eyebrows. It has a white, heart-shaped marking on the face, a body that is Indian red coloring with white down the belly drawn by me." This is false, as the image they claimed is not their character, and none of the claimed images were created by them. There are then links to 7 different links, 5 belonging to OP's partner, and 2 belonging to OP. The "links to original works" section is left blank. The description of infringement is quoted as "The users' profiles posts contains artwork that is a derivative of my fursona, including exact patterns, and distinguishing features. The user did not request permission. This use is unauthorized and infringing my copyright, which is pending registration." All is incorrect, as a pending registration of copyright does not go back and overwrite things created before that copyright. The average person will not confuse these two characters.

IMPORTANT PSA: Someone I knew, attempted to defraud and tried to sell music commissions and not disclosing to anyone that the tracks were AI generated. And also continued to lie about it.

Beware of this individual. Openly homophobic, transphobic, sexist, antisemetic, promotes cultural misinformation and white supremacy ideologies. Harasses kids. Pretends to be a Christian, to justify actions.

Shadowfang / Aeron / Ray has been found to have commissioned artists when he was a minor, having NSFW back as far as 2022. Even if he were to be found 18 now he has also been found to be flakey in terms of paying for commissions.

⚠️Another PSA since scammers seem to love me⚠️

Please be careful when someone writes shit like this. I reported and blocked this profile for scam. Outing it so that if they write whoever sees this, they know it's a scam.

⚠️ARTISTS BEWARE!⚠️
I've just been contacted by a scammer, asking for two commissions.
Since their wording was vague and sketchy as hell, I've done a little research: no comments on their profile, no posts, and hear hear: blocked by 87 artists. Well, 88 now.
