They also tried to make the same edited fan art pic into a model sheet, and treating Azola like she’s their own originul the character donut steel. Even in DJ’s absence, twats still take her characters as their own. 

I think I’m gonna stay right here just to spite you, Vatre

Quick to point the finger, but then hide behind their followers and gotta have the last word. 

We’re only bigots because we didn’t agree with them. When I agreed with them back before I knew what this was about, they didn’t attack me and call me a bigot. How Ironic. 

Better believe I will stand up against racism in this fandom just as I will antisemitism. But there’s standing up for victims of racism and stamping it out and then there’s bullying an artist because they drew a character in a way you don’t approve of.  They didn’t bother seeing that the artist they straight up vaguely called out having drawn a very diverse and respectfully diverse cast of TLG characters. No, they only had tunnel vision for the pasty skinned Kion.  This kind of bullshit is why I’m afraid to try having characters of different minorities. No matter how well you respect them with your research to design them, you’re the bad guy.

Time to pack it in and stop drawing lions as humans, fandom. 

On a more serious note, their toxic behavior is making it really hard to be on their side. They legit just told someone else how to find the deviation they were complaining about vaguely, and now they’re throwing a temper tantrum about being called out for their toxic behavior and wondering why they’re being called toxic. 

There’s a chasm of a difference between being racist with your images on purpose, and taking artistic liberties on how someone harmlessly views an animal as a human. 

This fandom is the Spider Man pointing meme right down to every pixel. ISTG 

Three people total disagreed with them that whitewashing lions was racist. While I didn’t disagree with them flatly, I told them that lions technically don’t have a race and 90% of the 94 cast were white voice actors, and that this brand of finger pointing makes the fandom more toxic and takes the joy out of humanizing the lions and they hid the comments to where I couldn’t explain. 

While I do agree that they’re in Africa, 2+2=4, this is making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, systemic racism is a huge problem. But in fandom spaces, if people are drawing for the sake of having fun, don’t go picking fights. Just because they’re drawing the lions white doesn’t automatically make them white supremacists. This fear of being called racist or cultural appropriation for attempting to draw POC causes this backlash. It’s pointless finger pointing and makes the fandom worse. 

Pervy is actually trying to make us feel sympathy for him. Well guess what, pedo? It ain’t working.

Loneliness is not a good excuse for attacking and harassing artists. He’s just seeking attention. 

His first excuse he gave me was, “I don’t want to be seen as a creep!” and yet he continued anyways. 

Seems he’s spamming this everywhere. Report as spam and block. 

What an absolute dumbass account. Posts progress of them ripping off and recoloring fan art. Doesn’t bother crediting either. Nadra doesn’t want their works recolored. PERIOD. 

also at one point when i started blowing the whistle, they banned me from the discord for “spreading rumors”, so that speaks a lot about their professionalism

Yeah that whole experience was just… wow 

insanity on steroids is the only thing I can explain that experience.
