Couldn't agree more man. For all the harping and shit that can happen on these boards at times, I'm glad we all collectively came together on this. With that being said, it's a shame it took a piece of human garbage to do that, but hey, I'll take it.
Also, it looks like every comment he left on all of these has been deleted. Like all of them. I know I did, and a few others, but it looks like he got reported hard to IG. He must have deleted the ones IG didn't remove. Hopefully they shut his accounts down. All of them and his business finally fails. Half-asses designs ripping off classics because he couldn't come up with anything original. His business deserves to take a tumble.
I'm just curious, are any of the products he sells that feature the likenesses of horror characters even licensed? Or does this guy just slightly alter a design enough to scrape by copyright laws, and makes money off of stolen intellectual property? I know copyright laws can be very iffy, and nobody bothers to go after resin bootleggers and the like... But this guy owns an actual physical store. You'd think someone would send a lawyer after him. Hell, I had a lawyer sent after me when I tried to sell a clay bird with an angry expression on Etsy. Rovio claimed I was stealing their "Angry Birds" design. It wasn't anything like theirs. It was a bird and it had angry eyes, that's the only similarity. It was a huge WTF moment. Etsy forced me to take it down. (One of the many reasons I stopped using Etsy...)
Sounds like in this specific type of event, Etsy would be putting themselves at risk for possibly allowing you to sell. This is probably why they decide to make you take it down. They don't want to take that liability risk for siding with their clientele over a big business. Just my .02 anyways.
I agree, but if they looked at the actual sculpt I had made, they would have seen how ridiculous the claim was. If I remember correctly, my bird had wings and feet. Colors didn't match any of the "Angry Birds." Wasn't even made with Angry Birds in mind. Of course, this was almost 7 years ago, so Etsy probably had a lot more to lose. Anyway, sorry to derail. Has George quit posting finally, or is he still terrorizing people? As funny as it is to see him throw hissyfits and making an ass of himself, I will be relieved when he shuts up and realizes this is a battle he can't win.
It is unfortunate, but i would take a guess that him and his little cronies are getting a kick out of this thread. Probably snickering away, reading it out loud in comedy voices to each other and mocking it all . . . either that or he's enjoying the attention he's getting a little too much and whacking-off to it. I bet, he very likely thinks he's terribly clever, edgy, anarchic and cccccrrrrraaaaazzyy! And anyone who is offended by his behavior is 'not cool' or whatever . . . Has he even come close to apologising for the overtly offensive shit he's been spouting?
I don't think this is the case if he is deleting comments, having other people's posts deleted, deleting his own inflammatory posts, changing his username 3-4 times, blocking dozens of people on multiple accounts, trying to start an attack on Eckotyper and his daughter, etc. etc.
^^ But isn't that just someone who is not clever, thinking they are clever by trying to cover-up stuff they have been called-out on? Smacks of someone who's realised he might of hurt his business prospects, but not someone who's in any way regretful of his odious behaviour . . . Anyway, by the way screen-grabs are being used as evidence against him, his deleting stuff isn't going to help him for very long.
Oddly it's true. Unfortunately it was under those circumstances. Something must be seriously going down and he's slipping to break from his usual people of targeting and singling people out. Unrelated - some ripoff eBay seller a while ago threatened me with violence and I think he threatened me with his sweet "judo moves" and had his cronies after me on fb in support of violence against a woman. Because I publicly stated he ripped me off and sold my item out from under me ...anyways. I saw a different side to toy collecting which really disturbed me that people were so ok with that and overlooked that when it came to how you handle a business. I'm happy to have some faith restored by seeing the reactions to this sxs shituation. Somethings gotta be up tho. He attacked too many people in a short amount of time and can't back pedal fast enough. His company is definitely going to take a hit. I wonder how internet sales are looking today. Just keep tagging and reuploading those screen grabs! Funny how karma works,
Just saw his instagram accounts through a friend's account (I've been blocked from them) and his hands are fine. Not a scratch on them as he was displaying some new pins and prancing around in a horror mask... Definitely looks like the behavior of a bipolar case, desperate attempt to get sympathy and probably some free painkillers?
^^ I wondered if he had been faking it. Based on the "bandages" and how totally fine he seemed, I thought he might have been. Plus, why antibiotics if your finger is torn half off? Man, the attention this guy must need.
Glenn, are you sure that the pics you saw were actually new (post-fingers), and not just oldies shuffled to the top via Instagram's facacta new algorithm?
He took down the finger pic as of last time I looked. I have since stopped following him, and his account is now private.
I was blocked and I wasn't even remotely mean! I barely even said anything. Oh wells, wasn't missing out on much anyway.
he starts shit and plays the victim.. if he blocks you then I guess by his reasoning you're the aggressor. any excuse to use this gif i'm sorry.
If you're talking about the scumbags&superstars account, that's obviously not him (tats don't match). At least one finger was slightly dinged & bloodied above the bandage and antibiotics would help prevent infection. Stop ruining my fun.
There is way too much collective brain power being spent on this ouroboros eating its own shit. Can't you just block the fucking dickhead and call it a day? Christ.
