and like... if the OG isn't selling hers anymore, the newer one isn't costing her customers. And unless this person set out to knock off the OG I just don't think it matters.
You're all drawing fanart of the same character, there are only so many elements out there, and if one pin maker gets a pretty standard concept "sexy kylo on the Sith Throne" first, does that really mean no other should make it? If she's not making any more she's definitely not going to lose money because... she's done making it.
no i think you make a valid point tbh, i saw people going off on it and i wasn't sure... like tbh the person who made new one is a newer seller so like i hope she's not getting hate for it
god this is like the person who tried to wank on me bc I photoshopped two characters standing closer together in an icon than they were originally standing
people trying to police pins just fucking gets me always, like calm the fuck down you can make similar designs, you don't own somebody sitting in a goddamn chair
or creators with 1000 presales and not actually having any in hand sales cause they have too many pins in production and people waiting year+ for a damn pin
(also if y'all are SW pin ppl feel free to add me on plurk, I am happy to get drops for friends and trade things pretty freely because I'm a normal person lmao)

: so basically, long story short, anime pin dude thought people were using bots on one of his sales but they actually just used apple pay, so instead of being a decent person, sent these people piss soaked packages that didn't even contain the pin they purchased (i think it didn't have a pin) just like a meme pic
so instead of just cancelling their orders and just moving on since he thought they used bots, that was how he wanted to teach them a lesson for using apple pay and successfully getting a drop quickly
the star wars community on dw is overall a lot chiller than the fandom at large, I mean I was working with a fellow iconist for a bit after TLJ came out trying to get icon sets for every character compiled
I slowed down on collecting because I need to get my current shit organized lmao. but oh the drama....I don't know whats worse, this or some of the shit on Bookstagram...
there are only so many compositions out there
