This needs to be said.
This is an open letter to @8bit-mau5, enjoy!
The community doesn’t deserve how you’ve been treating it, and here’s why.
I’m putting this all under a read more because this is gonna be a long one folks! I will say that it’s definitely going to be worth the read, though! Stay with me.
First off, the fact that I’m even having to make a whole separate account to even post this should say something, but don’t you worry your pretty little two-faced head, Renee!! We’ll get into that later!
Let’s get into the meat of this then to the real shit later! First up on my ever growing list and the most recent of your offenses; design theft!
I have spoken to a few of your victims and they’ve understandably asked not to be named, so I won’t in respect for their privacy. I wish you could say the same, but again, we will get into that later.
Having the same concept is okay and fine!! Inspiration is completely okay! However, when you copy that concept and design almost to the T, then there becomes an issue. People notice, just because you’re popular doesn’t mean you get a pass. I’m not going to be providing screenshots for this point in my argument because of the privacy of the actual decent people in our wonderful community! Those people know who they are and you know who you’ve copied.
Second offense; bullying minors!
Wow, this is a big one!! I could go on for days and days about this one. I will say that I personally am not a minor, so don’t get it twisted. I do, however, have a lot of friends who are minors.
Again, no screenshots for privacy. I don’t want these minors involved in this and they don’t want to be harassed by your minions! I don’t blame them!!
As an adult in this community it’s kind of our job to protect the minors, yet instead here you are making vagues about the minors but being VERY specific so everyone knows who it is and saying you “won’t name names” then messaging everyone with the minors name and your skewed side of the story. These are just some of the instances that I am aware of and that I was allowed to share. I’m sure there are countless more minors, or even adults, who have been subject to this treatment by you.
Third on the list; scamming people out of commissions!
This personally hasn’t happened to me or someone I am close with, so keep that in mind and take this section with a grain of salt.
I was given this post. I’m going to quickly clear OP of that post’s name, I am not them. I am aware you are misgendered in that post, I am sorry, I did not make it nor am I featured in any of the screenshots provided.
If this information is outdated in any way, shape, or form, then disregard this section completely.
Forth on the list; being petty!
If I recall correctly, you made a pretty big ask meme post! No hate on that, you do you. Another blog made the exact same post because you had blocked them. You then go on to bribe your followers to reblog yours instead, correct? You offered sending them all asks from the oh so great and all powerful 8bit-mau5 if they reblogged the post from you instead. Keep in mind, the person who copied the post credited you, they just wanted to do the meme too. There’s other instances of you being petty but again, privacy. Unlike you, I respect when people ask me not to use their names and don’t vague about them!
Fifth and final point on my very organized list (though this bit is more of a conclusion); your influence!
Whether you like it or not, you have an influence. You are popular. You have nice art. Your followers, seemingly, would die at the stake for you. This becomes a problem when you like to be rude to others with smaller accounts than you. They are sent floods of hate all on your behalf, no matter if you were in the right or not. You need to handle things like the grown adult that you are instead of making vague posts then name dropping people when asked like it’s no big deal. I know several people that have been attacked by your little army because you pulled some shit like this. Now, I’m not saying you can control your followers, but what you can do is talk things out in private.
Tl;dr, please, for the love of all that is holy, do better.
Q and A time because I know you’re gonna respond to this!
Q: Who are you?
A: Doesn’t matter!
Q: Why are you doing this? A: Because I’m tired of your bullshit!
Q: Why are you hiding behind a new account? A: Because I’d rather not have your army after me and to be frank with you, I don’t care if you find out who I really am and send them after me. It only further proves my point. In fact, I am leaving anons on for this account and will be checking it. Send your criticism my way, I genuinely want to read it.
Q: B-But...! But Renee’s art is so good, he MUST be a good person! A: Dorthy thought the Great Oz was this all powerful being until she pulled back the curtain and found a sorry little fraud.
Anyway. Anons are open. Feel free to respond to this, or don’t, I don’t care.
I can provide screenshots to Renee and Renee only if he messages this account, the people I’ve spoken to do not want their screenshots used as most of their situations are unique and would be quickly pinpointed to them if used even when heavily censored.
Renee, if you are open to a civil discussion, the inbox on this account is open.
