Thank you to everyone who encouraged me not to quit/gave me a second chance/stuck around, I really appreciate you all

I guess I'm back

What's worse is one of them is just DIGGING DOWN on their "Oh I was just being vaaaaague" stuff. Like no, you knew what you were doing.

Guys I'm scared and I don't know what to do anymore, I got fucking doxxed in dms by some random and they said they were gonna 'handle' me if they saw me in a furry convention...

I just want this to stop, so you guys win. I'm not going to draw anymore, please just leave me alone.

My latest incineroar drawing was streamed live to friends, and I see mentioning that "I sketched it in one try" in the timelapse, so it has to be traced.

But really I restarted my drawing on a new file cause I didn't have timelapse on and referenced my old sketch... Trying to prove I'm not AI 4/5

But I streamed my art to my friends from start to finish. I don't even have anything to gain from this, I'm just trying to draw cause I like it

& I've been told it doesn't even matter if u post sketch WIPs or time lapses now cause apparently it can be 'AI deepfaked'. how do I defend myself now? 3/5

Again I would like to state I do not generate AI art, I do not trace AI art, I don't even know how to get AI art.

Sure, let's say you don't believe that my 'art inconsistencies' are because of me experimenting and trying to see what sticks.
2/5

Im sorry that you are going through this Rou, it makes me angry and sad, so unfair
You have my full support, please dont stop drawing you are very talented, *hugs*

You knew very well what you were doing, c'mon.
Instead of apologizing you just had to go on a long tangent about "oh I was just being vague"
Naw man, you knew what you were doing.

Being a bit childish without genuine proof, and ending it with "like dude I hope you feel anxious"

Well CONGRATS! You did it! They went so beyond anxious they're scared for their life!

0/10 behavior, do better, improve yourself as a person.

They said themselves that they made the public 'vague' post as "bait" to "lure in other mutuals with the same concerns" and I swear that could have been handled so much better.
Feel like we should know who these other artist's are so they can explain their thoughts on the matter.

Big artists need to be conscious of their audience and be careful with what they say because in a crowd that big, you know you picked up some crazy elitists who will jump to conclusions and blow things out of proportion and ruin the subject of your chatter's lives.

Alright, who have the Ego trip and have to Falsly accuse the popular artist of something false?

Whatever you're doing, ruining somebody's life and hobby like that, won't make you "a hero".

Rou is a hard working artist and deserve praise. Move on.

I don’t get why pathetic losers wanna pick on someone who’s greatly talented at what they do. Rou has always drawn things from start to finish and I watched him draw everything from scratch. Rou has definitely improved alot of his skills and shouldn’t be bugged and pushed around for bs. (1/3)

Dont say that. Don't let those fuckers win. Just take a step back, breath, take a break, and come back when you are ready. Your supporters are ready to help you.

So I just got a death threat and doxxed regarding my art, accusing it as 'AI traced' this time, I'm shaken up and ngl I don't even know what to do

My friends have also just shown me various other artists making accusations that seem to be addressed at me 'AI tracing' my art that seems connected 1/5

If you think someone is using AI to make their art, @outcaststars.bsky.social and @darkgem.art you should ASK them IN PRIVATE instead of making vague posts on social media and Telegram. You two have huge followings, THINK before you post ANYTHING. Do better.
