KawaiiGoods Art Theft

[Anonymous No.9620724]

Lets take this out of the menhera thread to stop cluttering it up in there and make it more visible to gulls who dont lurk there.

It has always been rumored that Kawaiigoods had been stealing art, however no concrete evidence had ever been made. We now have some official receipts and comparisons for theft and much too close for comfort "inspirations." If you have or find any other suspicious art work from her please leave it in this thread.

If you would like to get caught up, please reference >>9562502

Call me an ignorant lolita if you want, but these aren't actually that similar? I don't see how this is "proof of art theft", just proof of similar inspirations and most fairy kie like stuff using the same pastel shades.

[Anonymous No.9620938]

Kyandi did it too, there should just be an art theft general imo

When was the last time she did some new theft tho?

Is this fair? Because there was a time when everyone in the kawaii crafting community was making the fuzzy clips, just like how everyone was making knockoffs of the 6%dokidoki star clips. I don't think they are unique enough to consider straight up art-theft.

The rest of the thread though is inexcusable.

>>9620939
I'm neither, of course I'm new to menhera but not new to jfash (like I said, ignorant lolita, all fairy kei/menhera art looks pretty similar in colour palette and inspirations to me anyway). They're using similar ideas but they're hardly traced.

Fukken same

[Anonymous No.9620964]

Truthfully, I don't give a fuck because all of these kawaii artists rip off original art from Japanese artists and then bitch when a Western artist rips off their shit. I see this time and time again on Instagram with artists I follow and there always bitching who do what first. I immediately unfollow them as soon as they post shit drama.

Then please show who they ripped of if the motifs are so ~totally common~.

[Anonymous No.9620972]

What a fucking reach. You all keep talking about how KG is "ripping off" other artists but I don't hear you talking about how western artists rip off japanese ones. Cherrycheezy herself had several designs that were the same as Kuaa's except with her own art. You know, like the Kawaii Goods situation. So just stop trying to stir shit up. You are truly menhera kei.

The thing is, I'm not saying she is a thief. She was obviously INSPIRED by another artist. As was KawaiiGoods. I's a small substyle. Motifs and pieces are going to be similar or the same because that's what the people want. Deal with it.

[Anonymous No.9620991]

>>9620989
There is a difference between being insired and ripping someone else's art off.

I just don't get the big deal when these types of stores pump out the same generic kawaii stuff all the time. They all copy one another and just go with whatever shit is trendy at the time.

[Anonymous No.9621059]

Agreed, there's only so many ways to draw a bandaid, heart, etc none of these items are creative
That being said I do hate kawaii goods after all their shilling

She never got called out for the old theft or the scamming.

[Anonymous No.9621087]

>>9621077
If you look into the archives you would know that she got called out plenty of times before, even on cow.

[Anonymous No.9621101]

>>9620724
Wah wah wah bandaids are copyrighted to that shitty artist now? Alsonwhonthebfuckndid she think she is to police someone elses art? I think kawaiigoods worked on her own accord. Theres nothing mega original about either, its just the tumblerina being a little bitch raising a stink comparing all these generic designs. If it was actually original shit I'd be on the other side of the fence but your collective shitting is appaling.

[Anonymous No.9621106]

>>9621061
Because print replicas were selling a hell of a lot more than some randoms jewelry on etsy

So totally not copied that she even used the same manufacturer and glitter placement but replaced all hearts with stars, righto.

Seriously?

[Anonymous No.9621130]

Not whiteknighting before anybody jumps down my throat, but come on guys. I mean, there's only so many ways you can draw simple as fuck shit, and there's only so many appealing pastel shades. All tumblr etsy storeenvy shitheads are all copying each other. Get a grip.

[Anonymous No.9621140]

>>9621061

No, even lolitas draw the line at print replicas -- where the artwork is copied including the brand logo. The replicas are being produced by some no-name factory in China and their sole purpose is to scam other lolitas into thinking it's the $real$ deal, so it's a much higher concern than two etsy artists copying each other but slapping their own brand names on it.

The "this kind of looks like that" copying skates by with varying degrees of tolerance even in lolita.

Hmm.

[Anonymous No.9621187]

Holy shit, the vendetta in this thread is hilarious. None of this is art theft, at most it's inspiration. Look up the legal definition of art theft before crying about syringes being colored purple.

[Anonymous No.9621203]

Her art is shit, why woud anyone even buy those?

[Anonymous No.9621214]

Go on white knights, link the Japanese designs these are based off. So far all I see from you I'd chat and no receipts.

[Anonymous No.9621216]

>>9621152
I only posted one of those but okay. Why don't you just accept that no one cares and move on? No one buys from KG anyways?

[Anonymous No.9621226]

>>9620991
This lol. Sure KGs aren't a one to one trace but they sure as hell look like bootlegs

[Anonymous No.9621231]

Because Kawaiigoods isn't 1 to 1 tracing that makes it okay for her to rip off other artists? From a legal stand point no, I don't think anyone can do anything. But she needs to be called out for this shit and not supported. It's distasteful and gross.

And honestly I'm more angry about the way she handled the whole situation then her "inspirations" anyways. Fucking doxxing someone over kawaii designs ? This bitch is in her 30s iirc and she's acting like a 16 year old.

How anyone can look at KG heavily plagiarized version of MSD stuff and think thats ok, I will never know. The fucking color palettes are almost identical. The only deference is hers are a more dulled out tone which I suspect is from her working in CYMK

I personally think neither design is anything special, but KG's looks slightly worse.

[Anonymous No.9621338]

>>9620730
It's obvious she's ripping off whatever is popular atm and making a bad version, but I think this is really reaching a bit.
Like, what the hell, same vertical orientation??

I still think people fling around art theft way too easily nowadays. OOjia is art theft, rip-offs are not art theft.

[Anonymous No.9621375]

>>9621338

>Like, what the hell, same vertical orientation??

People who rip off art tend to not change certain details like that? Thats what I was trying to point out. They have almost identical proportions (length of the tube, length of the plunger), color palettes, and positioning. Put them all together and it seems way too much to just be "coincidental." If KGs had actually made this without heavily referencing the other syringe, a lot of these details wouldnt match up.

[Anonymous No.9621377]

>>9621321
It's yellow and pink bandaids in the end for KG with purple drippy shit with stars.

[Anonymous No.9621380]

I guess I chose the wrong wording with this thread by saying "art theft" but the point remains that what shes doing is really shitty. Technically legal, but a pretty distasteful thing to do nonetheless

People love to try and deflect what shes doing by bringing up dumb nitpicks but the fact remains that she did this at first with full intentions of plagiarizing the hell out of these designs. She also released a swarm of followers and friends to harass and dox MSD which is... why is no one talking about that?? That is so scummy and unprofessional

I wish i had them desu but I dont have Claudia on my facebook and dont want to add her for fear of her doxxing me as well. Apparently she has a bad habit of deleting shit constantly off her fb as well so Im sure unless someone was quick enough to get it, its gone?

[Anonymous No.9621385]

>>9620736
This is a huge reach. The colors are different, one has wings and the other doens't, one has stars and the other doesn't, one is a pendant where the others are earrings. The only thing they have in common is being capsules which is a super common menhera motif and being tilted, which is simply aesthetically pleasing.

Is one artist copying the other or are they both copying the same original Japanese designs?

[Anonymous No.9621389]

>>9621380
It's over fucking bandages that is one of the main themes and usage for menhera. And MSD is a scared little shit over competition and told KG to do some changes, and KG complied even when she didn't have to. Yes the similarities with what KG did is very similar from all those photos, but the amount of changes she did is enough to be different just like any other artists who creates the same general theme. In this case with Menhera, it's not a lot to branch off.

And no one so far, is talking about the swarm of folllwers because she didn't personally tell them to go. She was just venting on her personal page the situation. Her friends or friend-fans went off on their own to interact with MSD cause they felt like being jerks and think it would solve things.

[Anonymous No.9621395]

>>9621384
Thought from the last thread someone said it's from one of her shopowner friend that had MSD as a customer before that leaked out the address.

Because you seem to not know what art theft is, this IS

[Anonymous No.9621417]

>>9621415
Wow that is straight up shameless

[Anonymous No.9621422]

I think there's some pretty strong evidence of copying here. However, there's only so many variations of "edgy shit but pastel colors". Who gives a shit? Menhara fashion is for edgy Japanese middle schoolers. Unless you're 13 years old (in which case, gtfo 4chan), you should be ashamed of yourself for wearing this shit.
