Just so you all know, whenever possible, I do try to talk things out with people who end up on the blacklist. The things I don’t try to get explanations for are pedophilia, bestiality – you know, the Big Stuff. The stuff that generally can’t have a justification.

If it’s something like colors, or designs, I will do everything I can to talk it out. Things don’t go on here that I haven’t already tried to clear up beforehand, because I know a lot of things can get muddy with how many stores there are, and how the timeline of releases from years ago can get muddy, and how some people and their designs just get forgotten in there. It’s a difficult thing to keep track of.

I get a little bothered when people don’t try to learn the history of things before they start them, but I won’t callout for that. It’s a lot of stuff to dig through, and until now it hasn’t all really started coming together in one place. It’s not required reading. 

Anyways, what I’m getting at here is that if I post something that someone has done wrong, nine times out of ten it’ll be something I have already talked with them about and they have refused to acknowledge. Someone not knowing just isn’t worth the hassle.

Due to an unexpected conflict with one of the parties behind Xenocat Artifacts, they have been blacklisted. Details will be added on the next update of the masterlist.

Edit: details have been added. Submissions from the company to promote their work will remain in place.

Do you have sources for the TTC stuff? I’m just curious, I follow all of their social media and I can’t recall them being insulting to other makers.

  • Copied marbles from DamnAverage.

I’m linking so that the images aren’t huge; 1st and 2nd here, 4th here, there’s more but my internet will only let me go so far rn because there’s a storm in.

This style of marbling was pioneered and perfected by DamnAverage, and just because everyone else is stealing it too doesn’t make it okay. (DamnAverage’s also look better)

  • Started site with incredible similarities to Bad Dragon.

I do not have early screencaps of their site, but it was complete with black-scale background and similar layout. 

  • Continues to defend other stores ripping off existing items.

In a public Telegram, on the topic of a new store’s marbles looking similar to DamnAverage’s. 

  • Concept art for future releases has looked similar to existing toys; has not listened to criticisms on this.

I have been asked not to share the concept art, as it was shared with me, but extreme parallels can be drawn to Tealtacle’s Tentacle and BeastLab’s Tidus on two of the concepts. I do not make this accusation lightly.  

  • Indirectly insults other makers, often over things they cannot control or do not have the funds to control.

This was posted during a discussion on the BD Forums, where multiple indie makers were criticized for potentially having unclean environments; specifically DamnAverage.

  • Artist and PR employee repeatedly uses r*tarded in casual conversation, despite being told it is inappropriate.

In a private Telegram chat, and a semi-public Discord chat, respectively.

  • Repeatedly has reached out to customers to do work with relation to designs; in most cases, does not offer payment.

The example I have on hand is my own, after being asked repeatedly by Stripe about PR, toy designs, and ideas. It wore thin real quick. Toy suggestions and such have also been asked for via Twitter and Tumblr.

anyways the next update of the masterlist is going to split the blacklist and masterlist pages

  • masterlist section will only list stores without blacklist entries
  • blacklist section will list everything else
  • anything with a blacklist entry won’t be reblogged / promoted here

sick and tired of new stores pullin shit to try and get ahead. have some goddamn respect

Couple things up, as I am going through and packing up orders for shipping and realizing…stuff. Like this mystery Taf that I wrote down and now…have no idea why. Good to feel a little unstable sometimes (it’s not at all).

I have a very sudden sale happening, something about shipping orders vs health insurance. Going by coupon codes this round, which should be on the right side during checkout. (Not sure about on mobile, in app, or as a guest account though? there will be a place for it somewhere though)

“suddensale” is 10% off $50+
“hahabills” is 15% off $100+

And that is set to expire on June 1st.

So have a look! Still got a good few handfuls of last chance critters. and the shop is otherwise mostly populated by my selection of devils. Mmm, devils.
