ll Okay. This is the last thing I’ll post on this drama. But I need to get this settled.
First of all, I’ll apologize for lashing out at your friend about their character not being 100% their original idea. I lost my temper because I was feeling attacked myself.
Secondly, I do not agree with the part about ‘not accusing me of copying’. The screenshots which have been posted do not include the full conversation.
Below I will add all points of the conversation in which your friend either directly or indirectly accuses me of copying from them directly by means of:
- Calling the similarity or the fact that I took inspiration from RPG games suspicious. (Because surely nobody else in this world knows about RPG tropes)
- Being MUTUALS with them. (Despite the fact that I hadn’t been on this blog for almost 2 weeks prior to my activity yesterday)
- Refusing to believe that they had zero concrete evidence.
while i’m glad you’re apologizing for lashing out, it would be really nice if your friends and followers could do the same and stop with sending messages accusing her of being a “drama queen” and saying “fuck that drama queen”. that exact type of witch hunt/mob mentality is the reason this entire thing has blown up completely. you got defensive. she got defensive. you’re both allowed to have gotten defensive over this situation and both sides did some wrongs so it’s not a black and white good vs bad type of thing. i’m sure if you were to unblock her and try to talk to her civilly we can come to an agreement.
i know i’m biased in this situation, but i’ve known c.c. (the mun you spoke to) for quite a many years and given that, it was apparent to me that she was being sarcastic in many of the messages you seem to have been taking offense to. to start with she’s said she was joking when she originally came to you and was trying to be lighthearted, but got on the defensive when she noticed a few things regarding the mechanics to the quirks.
so when i say that she wasn’t accusing you of copying her, i mean that she didn’t intend to accuse you of copying her.
to directly quote what she said in her own post:
Again, I never accused them of copying, I said our muses have very close similarities. I didn’t insult them for however they came up with the idea, but apparently my own intelligence is lacking because I “can’t even come up with an OC of my own”, which naturally means I have no originality. Despite literally stating this this.
yes, she didn’t give all of the screenshots in her post, but that was because she was focusing on the points that she felt needed to be addressed.
i really believe you’re getting too hung up on the rpg thing because that was never part of her argument on why she wanted things tweaked. the only reason she mentioned it in the conversation with you was because you had stated you took inspiration from rpgs right after she mentioned crow is from a jrpg.
