Nah, I'm ashamed I even did it in the first place. Like, genuinely I do not approve of tracing, even if I have done it in the past. Like, sure, shun my past self, do it, but don't keep saying that my current work is stolen and such because I have moved past that stage of thinking tracing was okay as long as I don't sell it to people and make it for myself. I *know* tracing isn't okay.

Dude, nothing you post here is going to change the fact that a bunch of folks think you're a hypocrite for a good reason. Just stop talking.

And stop throwing stones when you live in a glass house, ffs.

if you were ashamed of it from the start, why did it take an entire thread of anons handholding you through admitting the truth, all the while you were providing explanations as to why you thought it wasn't actually that big of a deal? you do realize that this whole thread is you getting caught in lie after lie, right? your trustworthiness is pretty much shot.

"why I do not acknowledge that past art and why I no longer have the original files on my computer."

So... after some point in 2014- wait sorry.. 2019, you deleted examples of stolen artwork from your thread and removed the evidence from your account and computer, you didn't actually admit or acknowledge anywhere that you were tracing and stealing art, and never apologized to the people you stole this art from. What, am I supposed to feel like the fact that you did the bare minimum of eventually taking down the plagiarized art from your gallery as evidence of any sort of remorse or integrity?

Not a good look for a guy who runs a server where ID verification is necessary.

Tbh, I don't even know who the OG artists were, I tend to save things I think are cool to look at and don't write down who did them. So I'd totally apologize if I knew who to do it to. Also, I can't take down the old thread due to it being on my previous account.

Dakkokki blatantly lying and backpedaling in this thread multiple times is something I honestly find as embarrassing as the fact that they stole and traced a bunch of lineart.

Someone posted a link to the og artist that you ripped off for your 10-print skin. You could start there.

Is that the OG artist? Because I know Tumblr likes to repost art and such, so I usually take that with a grain of salt.

Can't edit posts, but adding that I looked over the Tumblr page linked and it seems to just be an aesthetic blog, so I don't think they're the OG artist.

Still sitting here not even being the person to suggest doing the ID verification in the first place. But I have heard there's a bot that can do verifications and I'm gonna look into it so we don't have to ID people, as it is pretty annoying.

girl help most ppl really be out there not tipping dom shops. am i high to think that like a 1% tip is the bare minimum of politeness

Re: TIL

(Anonymous) 2023-05-22 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
depends on the order
if it's a huge order of genes (most likely to be resold)? yeah, a tip is nice
if it's a couple of genes, then... no

that being said, tipping culture itself is stupid and anyone that expects tips for service they provided is painfully american. you didn't even open a business, you aren't an employee lol. you offered a free service. free does not mean "free". close the dom shop if you're mad you aren't getting tips

(Anonymous) 2023-05-22 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Damn :’) is the American in me really that stinky
Not my shop though, asked if I was under tipping and they said most people don’t at all. That said, is it also unusual to tip artists because I have been this whole time

Re: TIL

(Anonymous) 2023-05-22 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
RIP :( I didn't mean to sound so mean lol but yeah, people running dom shops should not be expecting tips
IMO same goes for artists. charge the price you want to receive

i dont think tipping if you want to is bad--but a tip IS optional and it isn't rude not to tip. especially as a paid service

Re: TIL

(Anonymous) 2023-05-22 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I usually never expect a tip tbh. When people tip it's nice but I don't resent anyone for not tipping.

Re: TIL

(Anonymous) 2023-05-22 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
nayrt but while I'm not gonna call it "stinky" it may really play a part here. There are plenty of countries where tipping isn't really part of the culture and norms, so people legit don't think about it much, or maybe want to do it at first but forget because it's not such a natural, obvious thing.

I personally don't tip anymore if the dom shop just grabs me a batch of festival skins/accents, since they stock unlimited now and it takes like 30 secs to grab em.

On the other hand I make sure to tip if a dom shop grabs me genes or apparel because the MP sucks and also the gene tab is flooded with ancient crap.
