So ah… some of you may remember my incident with this annoying client called LostSnake. So after so many years just when I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with him again? Almost 5 years after this a55hole strikes again. I included some screenshot proof of our conversation back from 5 years ago, since he is spreading fake stories about me on my twitter and facebook page. Although I don't want to publicly expose him, I want to at least show your guys my truth. If you don’t know anything about this incident, please do check out the previous rant, although it is quite a long read so please bear with me… XD
Anyways, yesterday I got a notification of a tweet with me tagged in it, it turns out LostSnake was calling me out for supposedly “violating our agreement”. He claimed that I uploaded the uncensored version of the parasite set without his permission, and apparently we had an imaginary agreement that I would not upload the uncensored version online. The agreement is only not to sell this pack on Gumroad, never once he mention on uncensored version back then! It turns out he also posted the same message on my Facebook, accompanied by an R18 screenshot. I deleted it immediately since I don’t want my FB page getting banned.
If you recall from the last rant, the agreement was to not sell his parasite pack on Gumroad, but even so I honestly didn’t have to listen to him at all. On my commission terms I clearly stated that, unless it is a private commission, I have the rights to use all my commissions any way I want. I wouldn’t need his permission even if I decided to upload the full original version online.
All that said, with LostSnake calling me out on Twitter I felt it was necessary for me to do an official response in both Chinese and English on my Twitter page, so this time he could not delete his message and I would have witnesses to back me up in this situation. (It’s on my twitter account, if you are interested you can go take a look~) But in his typical fashion, he ignored my well-constructed reply, and then tried to trick the fans that supported me on Twitter. He faked and twisted his story, painting me as an evil artist who bullied him or something. Most ridiculous of all is he made this conversation public on Twitter, yet now when just 2 fans replied to the situation he said I was using my 5000-follower fanbase to attack him. (What???)
In his replies to those fans he painted himself as a victim, saying how badly I supposedly treated and tricked him, while in reality it is the other way around. He thinks somehow me posting the uncensored version is my way of getting back at him, but in reality any commission works have the chance of having the uncensored version uploaded, because I myself dislike censorship. He talks as if I treated him badly, and ignores all the times he treated me like shit for months prior, which I even have proof of, for fuck sake. I just choose not to not upload it as to not publicly shame him. He also claims I insulted and looked down on other artist he hired, but in reality I was insulting him because he was trying to get a 40% discount after everything happened. Not to mention, as you guys know, self-confidence is something I lack, so why would I even look down on others?
I can’t believe after all these years I still have to deal with him, to the point where he threatened me today in a Facebook post, saying he will sue me in the future in International Federal Court, once his business is stable. (LOL?) On what? A commission that he said, in his own words, he gave up the ownership of, then begged for the final product?? (Which I have proof of as well!)
He now calls me a coward for not facing him one-on-one, simply because I blocked him back in 2017, but in reality we agreed after I gave him the pack we would never talk ever again. (So now he broke his promise for the 3rd time.) But at the same time yesterday morning he said I am too much of a pussy to face him out in the open, just when 2 fans replied he changed the subject again calling me scared of facing him privately… fucking make up your mind, ffs! I tried banning him on my facebook page, but sadly I am having no luck...
Anyways, since the fact that he said he wanted a private message so bad, I DMed him last night anyway. But despite my effort trying to remind him of all the shit he did and the truth, as well as me never agreeing on anything regarding the uncensored version, he goes on to curse me and bitch about me in the reply. Most ridiculous is with him saying since I keep saying the pack isn't his, I should fully refund him, despite I already drew everything... I think I am just going to delete the whole parasite set on my Pixiv, because I honestly don’t want anything to do with him anymore. With the drawing set being here, it just reminds me how much of an asshole he is, and how much shit I endure from this guy. Anyways, his last reply says stop messaging him, so I guess this whole thing is finally over…
Okay… sorry for long rant. You can believe my story, or believe his fake version. But either way, I thank you for making it so far and reading this full rant. If any of you want to check out the Twitter thread, here it is: https://twitter.com/ppshex/status/1368969455607279617
But please do not reply to his tweets to try to expose him, there is no point in trying to argue with a guy who is so delusional, it will only feed into his trolling and give him further opportunities to further play the victim. Despite I really want to defend myself against this prick, honestly I am just sick and tired of this guy. This whole situation reminds me of the frustration and trouble I went through years ago, and it is giving me headache causing me not sleeping too well last night. So I just hope things will be over asap...
Anyway have a good day guys, and thank you for sticking around!~
