Alright. I know that I normally don't do call out rentries like some of the others, but this is getting out of hand already, and now's the time for me to address the copying situation that has been going around last Friday, specifically on July 24. It's unfortunate that I wasn't there during that time because of school and other important things that I've gone to deal with but I am very grateful for my friends and some other people out there who informed me about this person during that incident.

It started from a specific user named @Kovkychi, who had intentionally attempted to rip off my kokichi oma skin by colorpicking and blatantly trying to replicate almost the entire thing straight out of it without permission, even claiming their "work" as theirs and considering it as their "original skin" when they literally just stole it right from me. And not to mention that this person had the audacity to lie to my friends after being told by them to delete the skin immediately in the act of changing the skin to something else just so they made it seem like they removed it entirely when they did not.

Honestly, I am still surprised that there are SOME people still doing this in 2026, like come on buddy, it's not that hard to make your own skins and do some experimental things with the shading instead of just trying to mimic what was mine and proclaiming that it's yours. The worst part was that that they are gaining recognition and credibility of what's been stolen directly from me, which makes me sad because that skin took me HOURS to complete, especially after doing kokichi's hair because I've been trying to exactly replicate the og sprite of him in which I used as a reference to make him more accurate.

Additionally, I took inspiration of his scarf from my friend's kokichi while making the rest of the entire thing myself.

Moreover, I created this skin since April, and that's way longer than a week from this person who confeited it from me. There's a difference between inspo and copying, or being gifted from someone who made the skin for you. This, on the other hand, is the definition of plagiarism. I do not intend to let anyone, especially to those who aren't my friends, strip away of what's mine and assume that you made it by yourself. I may not be able to confront them directly, but I am not one to ignore the situation when it comes to this. This is honestly the first time I've ever gotten myself a copycat who's not even ashamed of taking claim of my skin without permission and taking all of the credibility to themselves. You know that there are tutorial skins that you could find on Youtube, right?

Now I'll state this just for you @Kovkychi. If you continue to further ignore the situation you've caused, then that means you are afraid of facing the consequences and not learn from it.
