‼️LONG POST AHEAD‼️ I waited until everything was over before speaking up bcoz I refused to let this drama ruin my 2-day OZF experience. But since apparently my freebies have become a whole public issue, i'll address this publicly too. This is about Elate accusing me of using HER photo for my freebies, allegedly removing her watermark, & supposedly profiting from it. So let me ask, PROFITING FROM WHAT, EXACTLY? FREEBIES?? Be so fcking serious right now. Since when did giving away freebies become a business venture? Pls make it make sense.😭 First of all, she had already been muted on my account long before this bcoz of the issue she had with The Pack before. I simply didn't want to deal with the negative energy, & honestly, I didn't expect this situation to happen either. I only found out she was ranting about my freebies here on X bcoz someone sent me screenshots. So I messaged her right away. I apologized bcoz I genuinely didn't know, explained that I got the photo from pinterest, & even sent her a screenshot showing where I found it. But instead of waiting for my response or actually communicating with me, she continued ranting on X & even messaged some of you asking for help to get "justice" for her edit. The moment she finally checked my DM, she asked for the pinterest link, accused me of hiding her comments, & then hit me with this absolute masterpiece: "Without providing a link, it looks like you spent a whole day making this image in photoshop just to get away with it." GIRL. WHAT???? 😭😭😭 You think I spent an entire day editing a screenshot just to cover up something I didn't even know was an issue? JUSKO TEH, KAYA NGA AKO NAGHANAP SA PINTEREST KASI WALA AKONG TIME MAG EDIT. And you're accusing me of being some photoshop mastermind? Ang lauff ko talaga sayo beh. And for the record, I DID send her the link as soon as I read her reply. I also explained that I never hid her comments. She had already been muted for a long time. Then she replied: "So. I suppose my credits can't end up on your freebies now, right? Could you propose a way to resolve this situation?" And that's when I knew this convo was going nowhere. I sent her a screenshot explaining that simply adjusting the lighting or making basic edits to a photo doesn't automatically give someone the right to claim ownership of the original image or watermark it as their own without the appropriate rights or permission. Her response? Sending me screenshots about fandom rules and accusing me of making excuses for my "theft." THEFT?? YOU CANNOT JUST THROW AROUND WORDS LIKE THAT BCOZ SOMEONE USED A PHOTO YOU CLAIM TO HAVE EDITED. ++
