Someone stole my character design (And nickname. Wot?)

Shide-Dy shared this with me:
Someone named XCOFF1 is owner of the character Matt who strangely looks like a character of mine, before being redesigned

Some pictures of Matt:

And this is Coff’s design from 2016:

I mean even colors are identical.
I’m not going to write this person and ask for anything, cause it’s pretty useless. Let them enjoy it.. I guess. Just wanted to share this with you!
Thank you so much for attention and have a great day <3

Also, though it probably doesn't apply here, A small artist (well, commissioner) was being called out by a considerably bigger artist for allegedly stealing their OC design. Though both designs were very similar, it was just sheer coincidence and the incident blew over (to my knowledge). Just something to keep in mind if you believe an OCs being stolen.
It’s one thing to be inspired by a character, or to even copy a couple traits you like, but to take the whole character and claim it as an original thought or design is pretty sad. I’m sure at the very least, they’ll come to understand that some day and feel embarrassment/shame over it and learn to grow as a person.
