TacoFox learns that Furmunda cheese isn’t sold at Walmart 🧀💀 #VTuber #LeagueOfLegends

With all that is coming out about the Luminara drama I just wanted to say this. Be cautious of anyone who uses power, wealth, or influence to create dependence in a relationship. Promises like “I’ll take care of everything” can sound comforting, but when one person gains complete control over another’s finances, housing, stability, or choices, the balance of power can quietly disappear. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, independence, and shared decision-making not dependency or control. The moment you surrender all autonomy to someone else is often the moment you become most vulnerable if the relationship changes or turns unhealthy! Thank goodness this was shutdown before anyone moved in with this guy… YIKES!

@CharlotteVeil Thank you for speaking up. Women who choose to speak up save other women from making a mistake. Many times us women are mistreated because many see us as objects and it wasn’t to long ago that we were fighting for our basic rights! So TY! 🌺🧡

I never wish to do a callout post on my own platform but I do feel this is important as I fear this person is a danger to women. I cannot speak for the others who are true victims that i know are affected and been through worse. I was lucky and just saw behaviors that are triggering. Me and the CEO of luminara, Camana, were seeing eachother the last 18 days and talking about being a couple. We met at Momocon in person and this is where I started to see red flags. All texts and conversations between us are primarily positive for we were trying to move on but after a discord call last night confirming my suspicions, I don’t have anything left to say to him. Due to respect I don’t wish to expose who the victim is and just stick to my own experience. But this is the reason I am making a post to begin with. 1. He was very pushy for sex. Granted we are adults and we talked about sleeping together during the weekend so this isn’t a surprise it’s just the way he would ask for it. Forcing my hand down on his member, dragging my hand across his erection in public even though I voiced plenty I’m not into public PDA to that extent, complaining about the condom, asking for a release and never getting one. Did he rape me though? No. I gave my consent to do it but it was uncomfortable. 2. He found one of his talents to be extremely beautiful. She is! No denying that, but to keep repeating it over and over how pretty she is and trying to buy her things? It made me feel like he wanted to spend time with her and find a way to build a connection with her so after I left, they could hook up. True or not true? Not sure, just a feeling. She didn’t buy it though. 3. Love bombing. During intercourse he said “I love you”. Idk about you but I can’t love someone after 18 days especially if seeing other people. Then yesterday he said “I love you” again before hanging up, texting me saying I said it…I’d never say that and he for sure did. Then telling me to move in with him and he will take care of everything for me. I seen this pattern before and I know the outcome. This is a narcissist. 4. Lying. Regards to the rape in question, no one outright said to me it was or isn’t. I only just met these people and I was a stranger to the group. So I took a backseat since I was confused I heard too many sides I didn’t know what was true what wasn’t. But last night I heard from Camana that everything is smoothed over. They talked. Everyone’s moving on. My gut was telling me otherwise. So the victim in question and I talked over discord last night and she said the exact same pattern Camana was showing me. The attention. The I love you, the let me fly you out and live with me. It was spot on. And no, nothing was smoothed over. The victim broke down in tears when I told her what he said and she got a confession apparently of him saying he did in fact rape her. Have I heard this confession? No. But do I believe Camana has the mindset and personality to be a manipulative person to get what he wants that could lead to a rape? 100% As I said I was lucky. I wasn’t raped but I did and do feel uncomfortable after the con and learning more about him as a person. I would never take the time to write this if I didn’t feel he was potential threat. And even though I know he is leaving the community, I at least hope this is a lesson to be learned and actions do in fact have consequences. I know this is a long read. But thank you for reading anyways.

@lunaeryschu I usually just brush it off because you never really know what someone’s dealing with online. Some people are awkward or just not super socially aware, so I try not to take things too personally.

Okay serious question, i get this comment quite a bit. How do yall respond to comments like this “Gotta go watch my favorite/this other streamer now, bye!” unless they actually NAME the streamer i’ve never been bothered and usually say “have funnnn! ty for stopping by!” if they name the streamer tho that’s technically against my TOS but i take it case by case tbh. BUT i watched someone get banned for it in another stream i was lurking in. Now im curious what everyone’s thoughts are about this! 🫶

Yes! I think that’s always good but the artist may also want to add this to their TOS or questions to ask before a commission kickoff if they are concerned. I would say the general population may not always know to tell them upfront. I’m also pretty sure Grok is pre-trained on massive datasets that include public posts, interactions, and images uploaded to X. So it could be going into AI regardless. I think you can turn data sharing off on your profile but most non technical users may have it enabled. I do think this setting is enabled by default.

@Tacofoxvt @MiiaTzu transparency includes knowing the OP uses AI so people can make informed decisions correct?

I have used AI in thumbnails, yes. But I am trying to move toward using real commissioned art. That should be seen as supporting artists, not as a reason to blacklist me from commissioning them.

I agree people should not use AI to directly imitate a specific artist’s style. But I also don’t see an issue with using it as a visualization tool for ideas already in your head, like testing hair color combinations, outfit concepts, themes, or aesthetics. At the end of the day, if those ideas are being brought to life commercially or artistically, they should still be recreated by an artist through their own unique style, workflow, and creative decisions so the final piece becomes something original rather than a direct copy of anything.

@Tacofoxvt @MiiaTzu I completely understand this!! this is all true and valid, but it’s different from saying ‘hey ChatGPT, can you draw my character doing blank in the style of this artist?’ at this point I wouldn’t trust this person not to do this with the commission.

@LilSunniiVT @MiiaTzu The moment art is posted publicly online, anyone can save the image and run it through AI in seconds. Even if your artist or client has never used AI once in their life, other people who like your art still can for whatever reasons they have. This is why it makes no sense.

@MiiaTzu Artist don’t want to risk the fact that you could put their at in Ai. The moment you chose to use Ai was the moment almost every artist won’t take a shot with you. This is the consequences of you actions, not trying to be rude just telling you their thoughts on this.

@lunaeryschu Hola!

Alright i think my reach has gone to an alltime low ; n ; If you see this, can you say hi or your fav meme? <33

@eveshootingstar I think it really depends. I told my artist they could at any stage of the commission use my model art/design to market themselves. Some people are very much against ruining the surprise of a debut. I am not worried about a debut. I am big chillin.

Hey guys, how long do you consider it's a decent period of time for an artist to finally post the full version of your commissioned artwork??? (with watermarks ofc) I usually wait +4 months... is that a short/long time?

@shylilytwitch You do not owe anyone an explanation on why you blocked them. The block button is there for if you do not want to see any more of someone’s content or posts.

Heya everyone, can't believe we are here again after 2 years. Reminder that I can block & unfollow whoever I want, for any or no reason at all. I do not own the concept of sea animals, body markings, hybrids or whatever mutation you decide to invent tomorrow. Matter of fact, I love seeing new sea themed VTubers appear! There is a reason why I'm an Orca themed one myself! I've always encouraged people to create whatever they want, yet I somehow have to address the same shit every other year because people love abusing the fact that I'm not very active on social media & generally avoid public self defense, meanwhile they are allowed to make up lies, dogpile endlessly & weaponize my silence/ inactivity. I'm so tired of the same recycled & fabricated nonsense that I'm somehow "protective" or "hostile" towards people with similar themes. People love making shit up, especially much so when they know there are no consequences for dogging on me because: "Shylily won't address it anyways" = easy viral post. None of it even needs to make sense. No proof, no evidence, just making shit up to suit their victim narrative.. You do not have to like me, not even a little bit. You ALSO don't have to run around spreading fabricated bullshit or sanitize your profile before a callout to manipulate me & the public into feeling bad for blocking you. You are free to create whatever design you want, i genuinely do not give a rats ass. People's obsessive need to attach my name to fabricated drama for attention, validation or clout- whether it's over designs or other weird shit, is getting old. Some of you are simply not victims. You are just deeply committed to a narrative that doesn't exist & obsessed with creating "villains" so you can justify obsessively hating the one, while worshipping the other. Sorry if this comes over as harsh or blunt, it's just been a bit stressful.... sorry for the rant

@ZionZeep This would set me off so fast your patience is insane. 🤣

Holy shit I knew this guy was a pest but I had no idea it was this bad LOL

@KuromiNett Your model is different it’s not a copy of her model. You have different ears, hair, and the outfit is unique enough. The tail is also different. There is nothing to worry about.

Mi modelo es similar al de la chica *Chica Zorro de cabello blanco con marcas en la cara y kimono. Sin embargo hay cosas que deberían ser tu marca, tú diferenciación y no es justo que tomen tu diseño y quieran hacerlo pasar por "Nuevo"/"Inspiración" cuando es una vil copia.

@mei__satsuki This is your model… why copy someone else’s outfit, hair, and face markings? They copied ALL 3 components.

and... it happened again. i'm embarrassed to post this. i usually manage to resolve these things privately but the artist ghosted me after saying "they have never seen my design before". 3 people reached out to me saying somebody copied my design, it's not the first time this happened and i am usually super chill if we share some elements - white haired kitsune girls in kimonos are SO common. this is not the most disrespectful case i've seen but it definitely makes me uncomfortable. just because you SIMPLIFIED or added elements doesn't mean you're not copying elements from me and lying to my face about it. imagine the DAMAGE you're doing not only to my community, but the person who may purchase this not knowing they are stealing somebody's whole branding...

@eiratuber I’m pretty chill about it. Some people prefer Discord over streams, but if they’re engaging and making the space better, I still appreciate that. Having an active community outside of just streaming is important for growth I think.

How do you feel about people who talk in your server but don’t watch your streams?

@Ryakishou @Elliethereal_EN In the US it is legal to fire someone for taking to many sick days in a lot of states.

@Elliethereal_EN No this is not normal nor legal! You have rights and firing you for sickness is not viable unless you are missing work 50% of the time or more

I'm freaking out. My job just told me that I was nearly fired for taking sick days while sick, and I was just told that If I take 4 more sick days at any point for the rest of the year, I will be fired. Is this normal? I took off under a week seperately for 3 illness/injury

@ApocalypticYomi It’s honestly terribly disturbing and scary.

I was going to use the studio until they told me no PSD file and they were skirting around questions that were important for me to know like updates and addons to my model in the future. I then looked elsewhere because I was not happy about them having full ownership on something I was paying thousands for. The customer service guy made me feel very uneasy.

I'm not the type to speak up about stuff like that, but after seeing other siblings' replies on this I realised something that I probably should have looked into a while ago and I feel horrible for it. My 1.0 model looks nothing like my character sheet. I never complained about it because back then I thought that just from the sketch I was given, that later after getting the finished art it wouldn't look as innacurate. I am also half blind so I didn't notice any lack of details or anything like that which is rather foolish of me. Only after I received the model and looked at everything myself from upclose I realised that it was so much different. My cup size was bigger, some colors had changed and some other details weren't adjusted the way I expected, yet I never spoke up. I am aware this is also HEAVILY my fault for not calling it out sooner and discussing it with them, but back then I didn't know any better and didn't ask for any changes because I knew that would cost me even more than I already spent for the final model. I love Hemi and streaming with her, considering she's literally my brand, but I, just like other clients, am frustrated and have considered redebuting in the future.

I just received Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Translucent. from zombiedragon68 via Throne. Thank you! throne.com/tacofox #Wishlist #throne
