For real. I don't know why this discussion, especially over on tumblr, turned into blaming the skin artists. Clearly Hemophobia's work was a bit of a ripoff in some aspects, yet the original artists are getting attacked for daring to use horns or plants in their art. Nobody's claiming they own those themes. How dare the artist use a generic theme*, this is their fault! (/s).

*And use it in a unique enough way that you can easily recognize when it's being copied.
