Received :

Acknowledgement from Cube, one of the creators/designers of Mr Puzzles, about the similarities issue, that they're aware of it, and that they don't condone the hate ! (Do NOT antagonize them, thank them instead, their statement is a massive step forward in trying to solve the issue, from where we started !) Today at the time of writing, credit to @therebloghoard !

From a moderator and administrator on the ZAMination Discord, showing that they know about the issue ! (around 2 days ago at the time of writing), again, credit to @therebloghoard !

Justice for Artists has written back to Mod, so that's someone else in their corner :

Things personally sent :

To ZAMination, directly under their own thread ! (Do not antagonize them ! The animators have nothing to do with the issue, we just want the company to notice us !)

To Luke Lerdwichagul, director and creator of the SMG4 series, and concept producer of Calling All Villains, for Mr Puzzles (please do not antagonize him !! He might be a key-player to solving this !)

To ZAMination on their mail, to reach the ones calling the shots (do NOT antagonize them either !)

To Brendan Blaber aka JelloApocalypse, Mr Puzzles' VA (do NOT harass or overask him, he's just doing his job, and is NOT responsible for any of this !!) In fact, leave him alone, he can't help any further and has already been messaged ! Info has it that he made his own statement against the hate on Twitter - I just don't have a screenshot of that yet, I'm not on Twitter. Could someone please find one and send it to me ?

Also mailed one of the designers of Mr Puzzles. This screenshot of the mail will be transmitted to Mod personally.

Mailed ProZD (VA at Glitch, he once voiced RGB on request), Tracy J. Butler (of Lackadaisy fame, adapted by Glitch) and Yugo Limbo (aka Yugsly, of Gread God Grove and Smile For Me fame, for reach. Mod has made fanart and their name isn't unfamiliar to them) - I just forgot to take screenshots at the time, I was just starting this. Do NOT harass or overask these people, I was trying to pull all levers I could think of to reach Glitch or get support ! In fact, leave them alone, we've got the awareness we wanted and the attention of the key-people to this !!

Sent a message to Glitch on their website, first message ever when I started, forgot to take a screenshot at the time.

All other sends I got a screenshot of, comments on the Youtube video of Calling All Villains announcement trailer. If you see these comments, like and write under them to boost them : the more notes, the higher they go, and the more visible they are !

I have over 98 screenshots, notes and back-and-forths alike. Sorry if I couldn't get everyone (due to a disability I have I'm having real bad arm cramps and my elbow nerves are going to give out soon from all the work), let it be said that if you're writing :

Keep it nice, polite, least judgemental as you can, stress out that we need them to contact Mod directly, and always redirect to Modmad's contact. Don't get overdramatic either, it might be uncomfortable for Mod later.

Do NOT shame, harass, or push Mr Puzzles lovers and fans into guilt. They have every right to enjoy the character as-is, and they might also want to defend him because they like him, which is natural. While we know what has been going on since 2 years, to them this is "new". Show understanding and direct them to these explanative posts if you can. I made my own here, as a shorter version, if you wanna use it, feel free.

If you see a TPoH-side fan get a bit more heated than what's healthy and productive, gently step in to remind them to tone it down, and encourage every good behavior, well-worded post, and acknowledgement of emotional outbursts and subsequent apologizing you come across. It's understandable that people get emotional : we're tired, we're annoyed, we're cranky, and it's the 9th day it's going on - but Mod has been holding out on their own for 2 years in the shadows, and our bad behavior could reflect negatively on them. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot : the better our side looks, the worst the haters and baiters look.

Protect the VAs, the animators, the fans and the creators on both sides. If there's an upcoming potential backlash, the hate might boomerang back to them, and we DON'T WANT THAT. Most times, people are just a cog in the machine, not the ones calling the shots. By showing good faith, we're ensuring that the situation is the least distressing possible for everyone.

Remind people that we're not here to cancel any shows or characters, we just want a statement acknowledging Modmad's IP rights, that RGB was there first and has nothing to do with Mr Puzzles, and that the hate can't possibly justified or condoned.

If you see a statement of that, instead of going "took you long enough", please thank the person, do a screenshot, and send it over here. Small steppy is way better than no steppy, no matter how much we'd want things to play out ideally.

Got that ? Okay let's go !!! (rest in the reblogs !)

Some new or evolution of comments as of today. Also a video by @ayylmaotv explaining the whole situation (credit for the link to @murderhouse7865 !)

Thanks to everyone that are keeping it civil and well-behaved, it helps lots ! Even if some comments are getting deleted (Youtube ? Moderators ? Some individuals ? Who knows, and personally I don't care), just know that I've been screenshooting (can't get everything but... well, as you can see, we have a LOT) and it's becoming easier and easier to find and see pro-TPoH comments. Even some SMG4-side fans are showing understanding and sympathy. And even here, on Tumblr, I've seen positive art blooming featuring both RGB and Mr Puzzles in a friendly manner, which is great !

Please don't get too heated, or overdramatic, though. If we start accusing people of theft and calling to not watch the future show, it could be turned against us, and more importantly, against Mod. Do NOT put everyone in the same basket, and never forget that we don't have the full answers yet. The person who has the final say on this is Modmad, we're just here to make things easier for them, okay ? I fully understand your frustration, your sadness, your anger, I'm dealing with my own too. Just remember that you can always take a break, and that you're not alone. If you feel yourself about to go overboard, or already have, either apologize or leave the comment section for a bit, talk it out in a safe space, and come back to it later. You're right for feeling what you're feeling, but be aware that it can be turned against you, and Mod, by those who want to harm and undermine our side in one way or another. Take care of yourselves, alright ?

If things turn for the worst, a call to boycot can be a solution, but we're NOT at that point. Please don't give SMG4/CAV fans the impression that they're bad people - they aren't, only the haters are. And as for the deniers, well, we have enough evidence to easily demonstrate our point of view. If they keep going, or make a dumb comment, either leave them (trolls only grow when fed), or just spin humor out of it. Let's not get baited.

We need to keep our side as clean and well-behaved as possible : we don't want it to reflect poorly on us, and thus, reflect poorly on Mod (that stupid boomerang effect). Mod isn't responsible for our actions, WE are - and people draw amalgams way too quick. The best we watch ourselves and keep ourselves in check, the least problems we'll have in the long run, and the least problems we'll create. Our behavior is a factor that could tip the scales in some folks' minds : let's NOT give them ammo.

Keep going, keep marching on, keep being polite, respectful, and the least judgemental possible. Keep stressing the issue. We've already got two-three victories, small maybe but existent : we made the issue unavoidable, and we managed to get a statement recognizing the similarities and not condoning the hate by one of Mr Puzzles' creators. And, as of day 13 now, we're still mostly well-behaved, which is a victory in itself : I'd like to point out that, as far as I've seen, nobody invaded the CAV fans' personal comments on this video - that's great, and should be kept that way. If you catch someone from our side doing that, gently tell them that we're not here to ruin anyone's fun - that they should delete and make their own independent comment on the section. The CAV fans have a right to manifest their appreciation and excitement of the show and characters. Huge kudos to everyone, this is no easy feat given the standards of Internet, and we need to keep going like this.

Let's show everyone why we're proud of being part of Mod's fandom. Let's be one of the fandoms that will be remembered for being able to keep it level-headed, respectful, and kind. We can do it.

Giant congrats to everyone, you've been doing a great work, please keep it up, please keep it kind, please keep it factual. If you have any significant news, please screenshot and send them over here, and inform Mod of them if they're relevant.

Remember to take breaks when it gets too much, to take care of yourselves, to leave a kind message to Mod whenever you got time, and to do something that makes you happy each day. We're together in this, and we have each other's backs.

That's a 4h victory and step forward in 2 weeks !!!

Things started (for us publically) around end March, somewhere between 29th-31st. Mod announced the situation on their blog the 1st April.

1st : we made enough noise that we got the news reaching the relevant parties in 7 days (the message on ZAMination's Discord, by a moderator and admin).

2nd : on day 9 we got Cube/FM's acknowledgement that they see why people can draw comparisons (basically, acknowledging the similarities, ergo, they can't be denied anymore) and that they don't condone the hate (which is also useful in stopping the haters and dismissing deniers).

3rd : 14-15 days in and the fandom is still well-behaved, mostly friendly when interacting with SMG4 fans and workers (VAs, animators, etc...), and providing help, support, and information. No wars across the net have been started, as far as I can see. Please keep going like this : we need to shield everyone, Mod first and foremost, up until this is over - even beyond the final verdict, whatever the results are, in case a new wave of haters comes back to attack Mod, us, or the SMG4 fans and workers.

And now 4th victory : Justice For Artists is taking the case as of April 14th !

Always remember to take a break, and take some time for yourself when things get too overwhelming : there's still hope ! We can work it out, we'll be okay, and we'll get Mod through it !

Any clue or evidence you have, please send them over. Screenshot your messages, make a file of them, and when the time comes, we'll be ready. It will take time, but nobody's alone in this. The best we rest and keep a bubble of peace for ourselves, the longer and better we can go the distance.

(Maybe mentally and financially prepare for a crownfunding or kickstarter in case legalities need to be paid - we're NOT at that point yet, and only Mod has the final say on this, whether they want to do one or not. Let's be the most ready we can for as much eventualities as possible !)

And if you get harrassed by someone about all this, no matter which side, whether TPoH fans or SMG4 fans, please call for help. We'll flood the comments with positive stuff and defend you. Only the haters deserve the zingers.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

I know I'm just some small blog off in the hillside of the internet but if you know me or even remotely like my stuff to please message Glitch Productions about this.

I basically grew up with this comic and it saddens me that they've been dealing with this all this time.

Thanks for making the comic, my dude.

CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!

Please spread this around. Don't let ANYONE lie and say my community is anything but ASTONISHINGLY UNITED in rejection of ICE's behavior. This crosses generations, race lines, party lines, class lines. THAT is how bad ICE is. THAT is how bad we want them gone.

THAT is how loudly we are DEMANDING they leave!

Do you understand what a crowd like this means in a small city like Minneapolis??? In weather that hurts to breathe???

I grew up in Canada, and when it was -25 C or below, they wouldn’t let us go outside for recess at school.

Like, everyone had boots and ski mittens and snowpants and winter coats, but still - indoor recess on those days. Cause the risk of frostbite was bad enough to justify everyone spending their lunch break supervising a classroom full of rowdy children.

That kind of cold is viscerally hostile to the human body. Your instincts will scream at you to GO INSIDE. It’s an environment that’s fundamentally physiologically unsafe, and you can feel that.

A brief summary of events, from someone who pays attention and also lives here, best taken with a grain of salt and some fact checking:

2020: George Floyd is murdered by Minneapolis police. There are weeks of protests about it. It makes national news. Protests happen in DC. The infamous Trump and his bible photo shoot happens.

2024: Gov. Tim Walz is Kamala Harris' running mate in the presidential election. He starts the "they're just weird" thing. Is folksy, Trump personally hates him.

November 2025: ICE starts showing up to "crack down" on "illegal immigrants" in our Somali community. I may remember the numbers wrong, but something like 90% of our Somali neighbors are either naturalized or were born here. People distribute ICE whistles and are on high alert. Localized to the twin cities.

December 2025: Nick Shirley is paid by a bunch of MN Republicans to do an exposé on daycare fraud. I didn't hear much about this. All I really know is this was an ongoing investigation that MN officials were already taking care of and some of the guilty parties have already gone to court from a COVID era food assistance program. Mostly, if not all, legal US citizens. He did a really bad job at doing journalism and just showed up to day cares with a camera crew and went "YUP nobody's here" as if they weren't in lock-down procedure because some fuck ass white men showed up with camera equipment that could easily be mistaken for guns. I believe. I will fact check all of this and will correct myself in a reblog if necessary. (source but not all the details that I remember hearing about but they said there was no recorded evidence of fraud)

Conservative internet explodes. Kristi Noem sends a mess of agents. I know it's more than a thousand more. They call it Operation Metro Surge. They are going everywhere. There are protests. People try to interrupt the arrests. It's a lot.

1/7/2026: Renee Nicole Good is shot by an ICE agent in the middle of a protest. A few blocks away from where George Floyd was killed. Broad daylight. In front of a crowd. While she was following instructions to turn her vehicle around. Jonathan Ross, the piece of shit Nazi who did it, was recording on his phone the whole time, switched his phone to his non dominant hand so he could more effectively shoot her in the face from 2 feet away. Claims self defense, several angles immediately disprove him. He releases his video, he calls her a "fucking bitch" as her corpse drives away. Does not help him at all. (source) He has not been seen since. Some photos/reports exist of a bunch of agents showing up to his house and taking some tubs and art away. His wife is an immigrant. (source but it's the daily mail so grain of salt.)

Not hours later they go raid a school and tear gas a bunch of kids. (source). Minneapolis has switched to distance learning. I'm not sure about St. Paul.

The last week: There are up to 3,000 ICE agents here. Keep in mind Minneapolis and St. Paul only have 600 or fewer police officers each. So these dudes are roaming in packs. It's 2-4 dudes to a car and 2-5 cars per pack. People are "commuting with" ICE agents to honk and alert people that they're there. People are going on patrols with their neighbors.

ICE is no longer asking "are you a citizen." They are simply walking up to you and taking you into custody. They are going door to door. They have started just breaking the door down if you don't comply. They are driving recklessly to just grab pedestrians and drivers alike (source). People are afraid to go get groceries. It's all over the state. I am learning names of cities in places I thought were just factory farm land and I've lived here my whole life because they're doing raids there. I had to text my family in the suburbs because I saw reports of my small little hometown an hour away getting door knocks today.

It's insane and I am not doing it justice. There are thousands of masked federal agents roaming around all of Minnesota with no warrant or specific goal. They are just trolling around looking for people. They are detaining anyone and everyone. They are beating people. They are pepper spraying people. They are kidnapping people. They are acting unconstitutionally, aggressively, and unpredictably. They are creating situations that are dangerous so that they can try to justify beating or shooting their way out. I will run an errand and then get fed a tiktok that was shot from the Cub Foods that I just left and there's 20+ ICE vehicles parked there now. They're taking people from work, from day care, from schools, from shopping centers.

Iceout.org tracks ice sightings. This is a screen shot with the date set to 12/1/2025.

And from today.

They have cut off SNAP and WIC benefits. Just for us. Not any other state, just Minnesota. They're saying it's because of fraud but I think it's because they hate that we use federal funds to give free breakfast and lunch to every public school student.

And this is breaking just now, 1/13/2026: the DOJ is trying to investigate Renee Good's widow. 4 people have resigned about it. (source). I don't even want to read the article to see what they're saying.

So that's a brief history.

Unicorn Riot is doing a lot of good reporting and they don't seem to have the spin that a lot of local news stations will have where they downplay everything. This article specifically goes into a lot of the specific instances of brutality.

It's also a rumor on TikTok that all of the videos of ICE and protests and the such and the like are being geo locked. So my feed is all footage of people being detained and talking about the "commuting" they're doing and what they're seeing but people outside of the state are not seeing it. So if you're also on that infernal app, try searching for Minneapolis or Minnesota and see what you see. I'm kind of curious if this is true. Because I've been living and breathing ICE and doomsday prepping content for a week. I'm sure those two topics aren't connected.

I don't really know what my goal with this post is. I'm tired. I'm in the first ring of suburbs, so it's been pretty quiet. But I have friends in south Minneapolis. And I'm worried for them. And I know it's a matter of time before my quiet pocket is affected. Because they're coming door to door.

St Paul has gone to partial virtual learning for anyone who doesn't feel safe sending their kids to school.

Every school I know now has safety patrols.

The school districts are not mincing words about the clear and present threat. Everyone in the area is completely clear that we are under violent occupation.

Most of the white people ICE grab, are released within days, because ICE can't even keep track of who was grabbed by who over what. However, they are still subjected to beatings, gassing, having their home and car windows smashes, etc.

Local police are advising compliance with the blatant human rights violations and total lack of due process, because they are cowards.

Even conservative Minnesotans are balking at the total lack of due process and open violence against unresisting people for doing things like taking videos. I know a guy who was in his house recording ICE, and they smashed his home window, dragged him out over the broken glass, beat him while screaming slurs, smashed his phone, and detained for three days.

We need your help to spread the truth about what is going on. Find the videos and share them on any platform you have. Make noise about what's happening. Get your "don't tread on me" relatives whipped up about it if you can.

We need republicans to be afraid, otherwise ICE plans to be here for half a year attacking us.

This happened to someone on tumblr, and happens with regularity at my job, so it is not a far-flung worst case scenario.
