#fandom warning

This is a warning about the Instagram account @sigma.analysis, known for posting and selling literary analyses of Bungou Stray Dogs characters via Patreon.

A user legally purchased one of these analyses and privately shared it in a locked Google Doc with a small group chat for commentary. No one redistributed the analysis publicly or profited from it. It remained private.

However, a peripheral member of that group chat secretly took screenshots of the doc’s comments (which included names) and sent them to @sigma.analysis without informing the others. The following points include screenshots of how this went down.

@sigma.analysis then:

Posted the screenshots publicly on Instagram, exposing private usernames to her followers, and encouraging them to find those involved. ↓

Accused the group of piracy (false). ↓

Refused peaceful communication, and instead demanded personal information from users under threats of public exposure and legal action. ↓

Did not stop even after being informed that multiple users involved are minors.↓

One of the users who attempted peaceful communication was blocked and hacked shortly afterward.↓

Another member received a threatening email suggesting their private info was obtained without consent.↓

This is a serious overstep. No laws were broken, and this response is escalating into coercion, doxxing, and intimidation.

Please be cautious when engaging with @sigma.analysis and think twice before supporting or interacting with their content.

I sketched this before work yesterday

- Also addressing some art theft issues in the #strangerthings and #eddissy fandom below

First thing I want to make clear this is not a witch hunt, nor permission to harass anyone. This is just a warning.https://delaneysart.tumblr.com/ has been an art thief for about 7 years She is active in the fandom and has already ripped off other artists to gain fame.

She is not a fan of the show and hasn’t even seen it. She isn’t doing any flavour-of-the-month stuff or Patreon requests. She's just out here to rob clicks from people who are in the fandom and lie. This is not a gatekeep it's just a fact, she's lying.

Please be warned, do not interact, do not try and “change her” its been 7 years if she was going to change it would have happened. Please do not interact, just block before you're next. for more samples please reference the callout account  #eddissy #hellcheer

I think it is what it is. I'll just swallow my loss and move on. PIXIV cannot handle anything other than cutie anime girls and Dracfield fandom is "too much". It is what it is.

Last night, I got this:

Hey! I love this fic! I know there are another platform which is suitable to post this story too. It is a female oriented reading platform and if you are interested, you could reply me for more details!

Anonymous user, no details about said fic, misspellings, poor grammar, it’s the fanfic comment equivalent of one of those “Dear Sir, I must get 5 Million out of my country and you can help me” scam emails.

It’s clear that they went through AO3 and sorted by Kudos, hits or comments.  I rolled my eyes and went to bed.

This morning, I woke up to two more on a different story.

Dear autor, I think this story is very great. Could I share it to other platform?

And

Welcome to Dreame Platform. Thanks.

Three different anon users, two different fics.  The last one implying that no permission is needed, that they’ve scraped my fic.

Dreame appears to be a google app.

I’m really displeased by this, but if they’re gaining content by going through AO3 and stealing work, then I’m not the only one who’s going to be hit by this.

...A porn blog has put up a photo in the “Lazytown” tag of a porn star cosplaying as Stephanie. Her breasts and her genitalia are showing in the photo.  

I have asked the blog to remove the photo and explained the situation, but as of now they have not responded or removed the photo.
