For Pajuxi on Toyhou.se ♥

So i found a somewhat new section about making merch of your dainty character, it's at the very bottom so it's very easy to miss or flat out ignore

It's stated that you can only produce 100 units of merch and if you wish to exceed that number you must have a little talk with pru to see if she allows this

So the realization hit me, if pru were to allow more products lf your character to be made it's very real that she'll demand a percentage of your hard earnt profit. I find this to be very possible and also massively shitty as well. Pru doesn't care for the species outside of it being her cash cow, the species been kept alive solely by the community and those poor paid mods who manage literally everything.

So if a naive artist were to make merch of their rightful oc, who they most likely paid to get and is also paying to get the products made, this specific rule sounds very scary and would be compelled to talk with pru. Who will have the opportunity to squeeze more money or scare the artist off (possible if the person refuses to pay her when she did virtually nothing)

So my personal advice to anyone here who wants to make merch out of their dainty oc, DO NOT talk to pru in any way or fashion, don't put your store link in the server or places were she can see it, she WILL abuse her power and squeeze you out or right out ban you, making you not only loose your oc but also all the time spent in the product and more importantly the money you put into producing it. Make as many as you want, just keep away the dainty and cs terminology, and don't put it in obvious places you can be caught.

It is YOUR character and YOUR money, don't let this greedy owner scare you off or make you give part of the earnings when the only thing she did is barely lifting a finger and even less these days

Go off, dainties aren't even that original, so most people won't even bat an eye

plushie parade - $690

sock for all seasons - $700

etc.

this is all public information that can be viewed at any time and shouldn’t be considered speculation at this point. we can only rightly assume pajuxi put these rules in place (she is the owner), it’s comes off as really weird and controlling. most of these are well worth more than a collective 700. while she can pull in 4k or 6k no sweat and she can’t claim bcoz hers is “off base!” most of the designs here are off base and yeah some of ‘em aren’t my cup of tea but it’s the fact she’s not allowing her mods to make what she makes. and mind you, this $700 for one month out of the year (assuming it’s like the sales from last year which iirc didn’t repeat).

this why I stopped buying official dainty designs and started yknow commissioning my favorite mods or buying their adopts to properly support them bcoz there is genuine talent there for all of them, and while yeah some can get on our nerves they do deserve better considering they are the backbone of the community and site. at the end of the day the mods will still make money off their dainty designs, but I will still commission them to draw mine anyways bcoz it’s worth supporting the artists you enjoy if ur able (which I definitely am). srry for the rant this stuff drives me insane lol

TLDR: pajuxi stop the basal shit (it sucks), allow ur mods more freedom/get rid of the pay disparity challenge (easy)
