What happened to not “stealing” from small artists? What happened to recasters “supposedly“ only go after larger companies? What happened to “no artist dolls”?

Because that seems like that never was the case with you people, especially now the number of single artist dolls being recast has skyrocketed in the past few years and still going.

All because you just “have to have“ that doll

Lola never deserved this and now has to deal with the fact that Gao Shun has stolen her doll and selling it for a fraction of what its worth because people giving them support to do it for their own selfish ambitions.

And before you say “but I’m not the one making the recasts dolls so why should I be blamed?“, if recast weren’t getting any kind of revenue from this business, they wouldn’t have even continue to this point. Doesn’t matter the recast sculpt you bought was from a “larger“ company, the damage is still the same. Every recast purchased from recasters like Gao Shun, Luo, or any others out there funds this business to keep going and steal from more artists and harm their business. That’s why you are and you’ll forever be held responsible for anything that happens to an artist that ends up being stolen from by a recaster.

Take this with a grain of salt, because I’m hearing it thirdhand. But my understanding is the fakebabies are angry about S/L applying to claim the trademarks of some 90 different BJD companies. And honestly? I’m glad they are angry. They should be. But at the same time?

Pro-recasters? This is 300% your fault. Your purchase has *directly* funded this. You have literally *paid* for them to file for those trademark claims as surely as if you had filed them yourself. S/L are not good people. They are not doing the community a “favor” by “providing low-cost goods”. They are stealing. Do you understand that yet? They are *thieves* and ALWAYS have been. You have paid thieves, and you have knowingly bought stolen goods. You are the ones that turned them into one of those “big companies” y'all are always saying it’s ok to steal from. We have been begging you for literal years to stop. The companies, the *artists* have been begging you to buy legit. But you stuffed cotton in your ears and sang “la la la can’t hear you” or worse, flat out said you don’t care. There are millions of excuses, and each one has been shot down.
