⦻ The Real SBD3 ⦻

THISSSSSSS!!!!!!! curate your own internet experience. block them because they’re allergic to peanut butter, block them because they have what you don’t, block them because they dislike your favorite food, block them because you don’t like their layout, block them because you can.

blocking is NOT a personal attack against someone. it’s you curating your own internet experience and catering for your comfort, and you have every right to do that.

you, yes, you!!! you CANNOT tell other people to censor themselves for your own comfort and personal likings. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t post. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t write. you CANNOT tell them what they can or can’t draw. BUT you CAN block them for whatever reason.

I don’t think anyone is going to see this, but for anyone who stumbles across this post, I’ve decided to stop using this blog.

(Lengthy ramble under the cut)

Basically, the alt blog will stay up for a while, but it will receive no posts or changes

During that time, I’ll make some changes to the main blog

There are a lot of fake Wigglypaint sites and apps and a lot of them have stolen art in their galleries!

The program is originally from itch.io. The owners of these fake sites stole work from the artists who posted their wigglypaint drawings on itch.io so they could have something in their community galleries to lure people into thinking they were legit.

I've been talking to artists whose work was stolen here on tumblr and on instagram and everywhere else and absolutely no one whose art was taken from itch ever gave permission for their art to be used by any of these fake sites.

Wigglypaint.com: Art theft. Jigglypaint app / Jigglypaint.com: Art theft. Wiggly-paint.com: Art theft. Wigglypaint.run: Art theft. Wigglypaint.fun: Art theft. Wigglypaint.online: Art theft.

And so on.

Even Wigglypaint.net, which doesn't steal art directly, uses AI-generated images to advertise their subscription plan ($49usd/year) while blocking comments that mention the username of the original creator of Wigglypaint in the social area.

All these sites are trying to get artist's money for a free art program.

Wigglypaint is always free on itch.io from the original creator, or you can use free 16-color modded versions like WigglyPaintPlus. (Or mod the program yourself! You don't even need to know how to code.)

But please, please don't give money to art thieves, AI bros and scammers.
