Yup, just like they made toys of the Biker Mice from Mars. Both franchises also have their own comics, and best yet, they're in the same shared universe, now, so canonical crossovers between them can happen, now... and "non-canonical" ones, two *wink wink*

I agree with what GSGenesis said. You don't want to cause more pain and suffering on others, but that's exactly what you'd do, if you do what you're thinking of doing.

The fact that artists are being persecuted and having to fight for their right to post their artwork IN OUR OWN FANDOM is sickening.

They also go by the tired cliches of "It's spammed so much, copy-pasted poses and characters without any touch-ups used to make it work as art", when AI artwork is the same: generic poses of the same characters being regurgitated onto the site with no editing. What hypocrites. They're clearly biased

allowed. They consider any non-linked asset that you didn't prove you made yourself from scratch to be "theft" of another's assets, when 3D assets don't even WORK like that; and yet, AI artwork is allowed even more, despite doing the same exact thing they're accusing 3D artists of doing: stealing.

volatile nature of these asset-sharing places; for instance, my Wolvalix models? I can SAY they were made for me by her, but since she's left the fandom and gone off the grid for YEARS, I can't properly credit her for it, and according to IB's new rules, that means it's an anonymous asset that isn't

some sort of outside template, anyway, whether it be a polygon sphere or donut, or a base body. The goal is to allow people to do their own thing with them. Having to make every asset from scratch is a pain, and linking to every creator for every asset not made from scratch is impossible, due to the

It would be like going to the Louvre, tearing up their most famous paintings, and making a collage of them that vaguely resembles a "new" piece of artwork; that's what AI slop is. 3D artwork ALLOWS for such use to be done, though; it's an unspoken creed by the community. Hell, most 3D work are from

You go on any 3D model asset store, like CGTrader, Daz's own website, etc., and you see permissions listed on what you can and can't do with those assets - usually limited to personal editing and non-commercial use. 2D artwork doesn't have that; it's fully baked and meant to be viewed and THAT'S IT.

Exactly, which makes me think they saw those old Hypnosis Fetish audio sites, the ones which promise you'd be able to get someone so submissive it changes them physically or mentally permanently, and thought it was real instead of bullshit. Seriously, there were such sites out there.

Mythbusters tested the "sleeper agent with trigger word implanted into them via hypnosis" myth, and they basically came to the conclusion that a) it's impossible to hypnotize someone if they're not willing, and b) even if they can be hypnotized, you can't make them do anything against their nature.

This has a Commander Keen "Mr. 314" insult vibe to me.

For those not in the know, in Commander Keen, the titular protagonist has an I.Q. of 314, while his nemesis, Mortimer McMire, is one point above him at 315, and Mortimer can't help but continuously harass poor Keen about it.
