Rini please stop stealing!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 7, 2014, 3:17 PM


Feel free to share this journal!
I know I should keep my mouth shut but I can't. I'm so angry and so disappointed. Riniuu was one of my best friends. She's sweet and all but her tracing and copying is just getting over the line and today she really crossed the line big time. Someone discovered, that Rini's twin fox adopt was traced. I can forgive tracing but I cannot forgive selling stolen art. Even if it was old it's still wrong. And she even sold it for 3800:points: which is 50$

Someone did an overlay and I cannot help but the proof really speaks against her. I'm sorry but enough is enough.

It's indeed very sad but you shouldn't worry, you can always find new better role-models and people to look up to ^_^

Well sadly there's proof of her tracing sta.sh/015djp5wy7nz
I'm not hating on her either but just raised awareness about the situation.

I think that if Rini wanted to make a comeback, she'd need to do a lot to have somewhat of a clean slate. I mean regardless, if she came back, people would still be super picky about seeing if she traced. I think that IF she did do all the things she's been accused of, she should own up to it and make things right through whatever means necessary. IF she didn't, I think she should provide her own proof. Good examples would be like character design sketches. I'm not sure if everyone does this, but when you create a character, you go through various changes. Whether it's the style, the hair, eyes, color changes, etc. All images should have a date which can be checked through the "properties" option when you right click the image thumb on a pc. It's just a suggestion. But I personally would appreciate seeing whether she's legit. Even if she did trace, and all that crap, it can be fixed. I mean people will still dislike her, but if she admits her wrong doings, or proves she didn't do them, I think people would really gain respect for her. Standing up for yourself takes balls. Owning up to your mistakes 100% and doing your best to fix them takes even bigger balls. I understand she might be in a difficult time and what not, but I feel if she just matured and did whatever she needed to, to make things right, a lot of people would change their minds. Deactivating and just leaving things as they are is the most immature way to react. It's just her running away, and honestly it speaks even worse of her than all these accusations, proof, drama and what ever else is out there about her. Rini, if you ever read this, just do what you have to. Don't run away. It won't fix anything. If you run, that's the end of your art career. People will look for you if you end up making a new account. And if they find you, it won't be pretty. Pride isn't everything. Popularity isn't everything. Stop running.

I really shouldn't bet on Rini reading this but I'll say this either way. Rini, please don't see this just as a plea for you to come back. In fact I'm asking for much more. I was shocked to hear about everything, like everyone else, especially since I was too much of a noob to even know about the bad publicity surrounding you from earlier. I'll start by saying that despite everything, I do want you to come back, and judging by the comments a lot of people want that as well. Well there are those who seem to despise you, but they still at least anticipate your return. It doesn't matter whether or not you actually traced as much as people think you did, the fact is that most people including your fans already believe it, and that can't be changed. You did acknowledge your wrongdoings to some extent, and even linked to the person who wrote the journal (which, in my opinion, was not a "sneaky" or "vengeful" move. In fact, didn't you lead your watchers directly to the truth?) But there is still so much stuff missing. How much of your gallery is traced? I would absolutely hate to learn that the drawings I looked up to (especially the Touhou ones, they were freaking pretty T_T) contained not one ounce of genuine-ness. But I'm ready to accept that. If there's any way you can let everyone know, maybe by posting edits to your drawing descriptions, maybe a reference link or something, I would absolutely respect that. Again, I am not saying this to coddle you, or plead for your sake in any way. This is mostly for myself, someone who needs closure as a former follower of yours. So please, do not make me feel ashamed to admit that I am a fan.

Man, this is really disappointing since I used to really look up to her. I used to think that she was a great artist but guess not. Never knew that any of this was going on in the first place but either way it is still very pitiful. I also used to get inspiration from her art, never again will that happen. Sad.
