She isn't gone, probably just taking some time to learn how to do proper art without tracing, last month she uploaded something in her patreon. Went off twitter and discord for her own sanity, and there is more people that supports her than scolds her. So don't be overdrammatic, this chapter is over and I think it's better for everyone to move on.

There are definitely people who took it too far, and fuck those people, but let's not pretend 'messing up one time' isn't also being reductive as hell.
If I forget to buy shampoo when grocery shopping, that's messing up one time.
Profiting off of other artist's works for months on end isn't messing up "one time."
Which is weird, because we all know she knows how to draw; just look at her early works.
She just found a shortcut and rode it until she got caught.

She not gonna fuck you dude and I don't care if you man or woman. The artists that was traced by her for years almost lost motivation after finding out about this shit. Why bother make original stuff when you can simple trace over other people work and gain the financial success/reputation she had. One time is just downplaying years of this shit.

There's nothing new. She stopped drawing/animating.
Her Patreon rewards now are her sending her old 2020-2022 animations. Nothing else.

you don't have to feel attacked unless you're one of those self-righteous, entitled hypocrites
It might be different if she messed up one time, but she didn't. She traced at least 27 times over the span of 3 years. She knew exactly what she was doing.
don't misunderstand me. im not on her side. i guess i just hate ppl who keep revolving around one person who's already in a pickle. like she's a horrible person whos done horrible things so what? she's an easy target now. i bet many ppl here felt empowered like getting a boost of testosterone for the first time when they scold on her like everybody else already been doing. haha

People arguing over this seems dumb were they traced were they not, who knows? From what I saw on the document the poses were similar but not exact, the art/style/colour were all better, the characters would be different. I assume the original and meanchu's work are both video/animated which is why people are even more upset. Wouldn't almost everything about their work being different from the possible original work make meanchus work original, taking inspiration isn't wrong as it's what a lot of artist do.
Yeah It's a mistery indeed, if only the artist herself admitted what she done in a public post on Twitter, before disappearing into the void for months without responding or giving explanations even in her patreon, we would certainly have some answers now. Truly a mystery that needs further investigations.
