✨ The Mireyita Masterclass in Deceiving Everyone™ ✨ A foolproof guide to becoming a “beloved artist” while quietly plagiarizing half the internet. Step 1: Be extremely, aggressively helpful. Show up everywhere. Answer every question. Be the first to congratulate, the first to comment, the first to support. People don’t suspect the person who makes them feel good. Nothing builds trust faster than acting like the sweetest person in the room. Step 2: Build a warm, loyal network. Collect tons of art. Support everyone publicly and in DMs and group chats. You are the nicest person in the room. When people feel seen by you, they stop looking at you. Step 3: Release your “original” art. Make it look suspiciously like artists who aren’t on Twitter. But don’t worry, your reputation is so good by now that nobody will even question it. “Of course she painted it, she’s so kind!” Exactly. Nobody even thinks about doubting the source. You’ve already done the emotional groundwork. Step 4: Let the network do the selling for you. Collectors and artists start buying because they like you, because trusted people around them like you, and because the story sounds wholesome and plausible. Network = net worth. The perfect cover. Step 5: When the plagiarism finally comes to light, act like it was a tiny misunderstanding. Talk about how “everyone is inspired by everyone,” how “appropriation is part of art history,” how you just “should’ve been more transparent about your process.” Pretend transparency would magically turn other artists’ work into yours. Step 6: Shift into gentle self-pity and gaslighting. Position yourself as someone who “feels terrible,” but strangely… never actually acknowledges the real issue: stealing other people’s work and presenting it as your own craft. Your followers should feel bad for you, that’s the goal. That makes them forget fast. Step 7: Launch the Redemption Sale. Announce you’ll pay everyone back. Then post that you’ll spend $1,000 on art to earn back trust and dignity. Because if you can’t paint it, you can at least buy the illusion back. Bought moral reset. And that’s it. A complete guide to becoming everyone’s favorite community sweetheart… right up until they realize the only thing you actually created was a perfectly engineered persona. Thanks to everyone who doesn’t let this slip like @DD_NFTcollector, @edouard and others!
