First of all, I didn't say "lots of." I said "more than one" -- I can't remember whether it's been two or three artists, but the intended implication was that it wasn't an isolated, single-user incident, not to imply that it was a super frequent thing. I wouldn't consider 2-3 over 12 months to be "lots of," though YMMV.
Secondly, I didn't say I never got blocked. I said, "I very rarely encounter people who block me, and I've never seen my username come up in reselling contexts. (I admit I also don't seek out said contexts, but the only drama I've ever seen about myself was unrelated to skins and accents at all and also years ago since I'm fairly quiet on-site.)"
Which is true. The only drama I'm aware of/recall about me was years-old raffle drama around one of Fire's OOF raffles (which makes it somewhere between 2 and 4 years ago now, on the original dramarising before it got shuttered). I thiiiink there was one other thing on the original AR once, but I honestly don't remember what it was, though I'm quite sure it wasn't reselling-related as Ionly started selling my collection a year ago. So it is true to say that I've never seen my username come up once in reselling contexts. However, as I stated there, I also don't seek out reselling-specific contexts. I'm not in the GASP discord (assuming there is one), I'm inactive in the G1 hell discord, and I don't follow DramaRising or whatever replaced it (or whatever equivalents there are outside of ARR). So it's not impossible that someone somewhere has made a callout and blocked me, but I certainly haven't seen it, which is exactly what I said in the post.
But, as I said in another comment on this thread, anyone can feel free to block me if doing so would make them more comfortable: That said, anyone who wants to block me (you won't be losing sales; I haven't purchased an accent in basically a year now, and have zero plans to do so at any point in the future ever again) for the sake of their conscience can feel free to do so at Alestrius #56899. Do me a favour though; if you're going to block me, please let me know who you are so it can be two-way. I prefer to have mutual blockings going on whenever possible so that people can't get cold feet. :p
