You would not believe the levels of customization and creativity ppl put into each and every post

TLDR: Foxpurr/milkypaws who was 20 years old made a huge deal about 12 year old me being heavily inspired by her closed species and her art. I have got social anxiety from this, lost my friends, I currently have a hard time trusting others, and have lost the passion for things I used to love.

This is a callout post on a Closed Species owner who did this back in 2019/2020 amino.

Her most active user seems to be foxpurr and her old active users were milkypaws. Her closed species was called Aether Dragons.

Please note I was 12 and she was 20. This post is about how unprofessional she was over a child being heavily inspired by her

Her usernames:

Before I start I want to say that I have no proof of any of this happening and I doubt anyone will believe me because everyone tends to support those who hurt because they have more friends or is more popular than the victim. Amino has been taken down and I didn't screenshot anything at the time. To the person and those who had affected me LEAVE ME ALONE. I don't want a sorry or for you to throw your fans and friends at me to bully me again. Also I won't read a response if you make one because I don't care LMAO

I also want to add that I have done petty things and bad things the average 12 year old would do back then. I will admit that part but I was actually punished, I stopped, and I do still regret the things I did. Everything bad that they did to me was only because of this incident and not the other things I did. For some reason species theft, heavy inspiration, color picking, and tracing was seen as the worst crime to basement dwellers in their 20s. It was never treated as a small crime or ever put into consideration if the person who did it was under 13.

How I found out about her and Aether dragons + how it started

I found out about a closed species called "Aether dragons" made by foxpurr. I remember really liking the idea and becoming a fan of hers. I even made an aether dragon myself with a free myo I got. I was active in a small closed species amino where you can post your concepts and get people to help with your CS's. I made a post on there asking people to help me with my closed species. The image attached was a character very heavily inspired by aether dragons and I had reused a design I used on my aether dragon myo oc. I also made a map heavily inspired by her aether dragon map and color picked from it. At that time I didn't know it was wrong. I forgot to add that I was around 11 or 12 when I created that post on that amino. A couple people had wanted to join me and I invited them all to my CS amino.

Getting harassed and assumed I did this to be malicious

Everything is kind of blurry so if you were there please forgive me for forgetting certain things. I am also a part of a system if that means anything. One day I woke up and I had gotten a bunch of comments telling me not to copy aether dragons. I had then found out that someone let foxpurr who was 20 at the time know. This part is hard to remember for me but I remember foxpurr and her mods went to my CS amino and made a huge deal out of it. I was accused of tracing, species theft, being heavily inspired, and color picking (I did color pick and be heavily inspired but that was treated worse than it was) with bad evidence. I remember her making a bunch of 'proofs' and side by side comparisons of me 'tracing' her art and me color picking. Please keep in mind this is a 20 year old grown ass woman that was this mad that a child was INSPIRED by her. Mind you I didn't make a single cent off of my inspired CS for the reaction she gave and my CS was up for under 2 days.

Some things that happened that I can't confirm for sure who did it + what others did

I do believe she or her mods shared her 'proofs' to a group chat filled with her die hard fans (It did for sure get in her fans group chat. I saw a screenshot of it). Some of these fans sent me threats, told me how terrible of a person I was for 'tracing' and committing 'species theft'. I was bullied on other aminos because of her. I remember in a description of an open species amino chatroom I was mocked. I don't remember how they mocked me but I do remember someone asking me if I was ok with it.

I believe she, her mods, or her fans sent her 'proofs' to the mods of aminos I was in. To get me kicked off the mod team or banned. I was demoted in a closed species amino I was fond of. The girlfriend of that owner's amino made fun of me because I made a new account on ajpw amino because I wanted to get away from the harassment. I wanted a fresh start.

I will admit I lied a couple times at that time out of fear. I had created a new account and pretended to be another person who takes over my CS amino. Her and her mods stayed in my amino and I remember I created a potion design and was immediately accused by them of tracing foxpurr's potion design. They made a stupid side by side comparison as evidence that I 'traced'. I was forced to send proof. I sent a speedpaint of it with a couple seconds cut off because I was doodling stuff and I was embarrassed over it. I do remember her mods making fun of me for that and how I had to show it all. After I showed it fully it calmed them down but I quit the CS amino soon after due to being looked under a microscope by her and her mods.

How bad this hurt me

I started having social anxiety and this is something I have to live with for the rest of my life. Genuinely fuck you and others for giving me that. I had lost most of my friends from this time over 'SPECIES THEFT' even though I never did that again and wasn't in ill intent. I left amino entirely, I stopped playing animal jam (I used to play this game everyday for 6+ hours from 2015-2020). I cried every single day ever since over this until I got older. I remember deleting one of my amino accounts and constantly changing usernames out of fear foxpurr and her mods would find me again and send hate my way and make me lose everything I had.

Because of this person I am afraid to make friends and I am afraid to be inspired by a creator and be a fan. I had stopped drawing for 2 entire years even though it was my passion. Sometimes I get worried my old art style will bleed into my new art when I draw and that's how they will find me to hurt me mentally again.

"WHY ARE YOU MAKING A BIG DEAL OVER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 6 YEARS AGO?" "WHAT IF SHE CHANGED?"

She was a fully grown adult at that time. She was 20 years old. I am almost 20 myself and I would never think to do this. If I was truly uncomfortable with someone being heavily inspired I would ask them nicely to stop. Getting your fans to go after someone who isn't even a teen yet and didn't know it was seen as wrong/is wrong, thinking abcdefg theft is a thing when it's not, calling them out, having you and your mods look at a kid who was 8 YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU under a microscope, and making a huge deal about a child being inspired by you is childish. There was better ways to handle it and she never stopped to think or say she's sorry for what she did.

Why I made this

I made this post to vent my frustrations because she was never punished, for others to know what she did in the past, and for others to come out if she had hurt them. I am not afraid of you anymore and I hope you don't have more victims in the future

Bottom 2 images is so if she finds this post she or others will remember who I was and everything she did back then. Every person I've told this story to thought you were insane btw. I am doing amazing today and have found success financially in art. I'm going to go to college soon. I'm so excited!!!!!

Making this post will help me get mentally free from this time and I hope I will forget about your shitty existence one day!!!

I won't be replying to comments, messages, and reposts on this account. This is for sharing my experience. I am not here to argue about anything because I don't give a shit about your opinions.

I am so proud of myself for finally coming out about this after being afraid and having this on my mind for this long. If you are a victim of someone and don't have proof. Please remember that there will be others who will believe you and support you and you should share your story regardless (as long as you won't get hurt if you do and if you want to). My friends have supported me and helped me tell my experience even though I was scared. I am forever thankful for them

Thanks for reading! I'm so sorry if it was rambley/too long. I had to get this off my chest because I've felt so hurt
