Ironmouse under scrutiny: she used artwork from one of the scammers as her banner, giving them visibility and leading many fans to commission them. After being informed, she changed the banner but did not warn her audience about the scam.

Introduction and Overview

The "drama" revolves around organized "black studios" or "broker/middlemen" operations (primarily in Indonesia) exploiting artists and commissioners in the VTuber, furry, and indie art communities. These groups:

- Pose as individual artists on platforms like VGen, X, and Discord.

- Use fake raffles and "consolation prize" DMs (e.g., "congratulations!") to hook clients.

- Exploit underpaid/overworked artists (including minors) to produce work. (NSFW art with minors included)

- Resell commissioned rig and art designs/models without consent, often at massive markups.

- Use threats, doxxing, and NDAs to silence victims.
