Small Rant (PLEASE READ)
9 years ago
Hey everyone, hope all of you are doing well. Just wanted to make this small rant since this is something that I'm not okay with.
So recently I've had someone messaged me that a person on Facebook is using my fursona as their own (thanks for letting me know btw) - whether it'd be for RP purposes or using my fursona as their own. Now this is sort of thing is kind of new for me ever since I started getting more commissions in from these talented artists. I've had an ex a while ago told me that a different person is using my fursona on some website that I don't remember, but told me that he'll take care of it so I wasn't that worried.
I'm pretty sure some of you saw on my profile that I said in red texts that no one should use my sona as their own or for RP purposes. I should let you know right now that I'm not upset... more so annoyed than anything really. I've messaged this person to please take down the images of Texy since he doesn't belong to that person in the first place. We'll have to wait and see if he responds back... I rather not have to report this person if they don't cooperate or ignore me.
When someone takes your fursona as their own, you can't really blame the owners for being irked by it. People, including myself, paid REAL MONEY to get these wonderful commissions in. For someone to blindside me, along with the artists, and use my sona under my nose, you're damn right that I'm gonna be annoyed since that person is not me.
The excuse of saying, "Oh you should be flattered that you're fursona is sexy/good enough to be used as someone else's profile." is ridiculous to me because that person didn't pay real money to get their sona drawn, that person isn't the artist that drawn the sona, and that person definitely didn't came up with said sona.
Certainly some of you guys have experienced this before. If you have, how did you handle the situation? Because the best thing I could do was politely ask them to take down the images and hope they respond and not be a dick about it.

I hope everything gets taken care of (huggies).
But yeah, when I talked to that person on FB, they took down the images respectfully and apologized - which I was grateful for. I suppose I got lucky ^^;
Yeah, as long as you're polite about it but also firm, they'll most likely comply since they pretty much have little to no proof that the characters are legitimately theirs in the first place.
Ah sorry to hear about your giraffe character, but as long as it was taken care of in a way, then we just gotta make the best of it and continue forward. <3
Haha! Thanks, I try hun. I do have Skype, Discord, and Telegram. Whichever works best for chu. =3
And sure thing!
