My and others OCs became an NFT

Posted by HAL0GUY - January 16th, 2022


So if you guys didn't know. Recently there was a guy on open sea impersonating as @Xinxinix selling my and other hundreds of ocs. All the ocs were drawn by @template88 for the Secret Santa 2020 event. All the drawings made by template were used as the NFTs. Here is the original piece (please follow template88. Does great pixel arts) https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/template88/ng-secret-santa-2020


Now there is a lot of things wrong with this. The obvious one is that you are selling over 400 of our ocs and selling them without any of us knowing or consenting for this happening. As well it's art theft as I am sure template88 wouldn't accept his/her art pieces being sold in the NFT market. It's also an impersonation of identity as the person running the account is lying about being Xinxinix (The main man for SS 2020/2021). It infuriates me in my opinion because if he didn't know early about this from happening (which we will talk about later) a lot of people in the Newgrounds community could have started hating him for believing he is running the account. For the one who did make that account. I hope you choke

https://opensea.io/Xinxinnix here is the page of who I call "liquid xin" I recommend you spread the word for the account to get deleted. https://twitter.com/Xinxinix/status/1482349229146263554 and here is the tweet that real xin made about this situation. I personally have my own oc as an NFT. It feels like I have been hit by karma by how much I bashed on NFTs.

Now Xin was pretty early on this situation and is trying to take this account down but because the open sea is such a complete joke of a site. It changed its TOS which means it will be difficult for xin to report this content. Especially when there are 416 NFTs he MANNUALY has to report and try to take down. The account as I am speaking is still up so I recommend you to speak up about this situation and make this more popular if the account will not be wiped. I hope you read till here because I made this post to spread the word and make people who were in SS 2020 that didn't know about this that their OC is on sale. Love ya and see ya

https://unevenprankster.newgrounds.com/news/post/1242302 here also another blog talking about this situation

it's also good that there haven't been any OCs sold. Lets hope it stays that way

Aswell I want you to report https://opensea.io/collection/ngsecretsanta As they are the ones selling the art pieces without templates thumbs up

Try and find out what servers the actual art is being hosted on and contact them. If I remember correctly, Opensea uses google servers and google's quick to respond to theft reports.

Tbh there is no reason why I am gonna do this. Especially when xin already tries to copyright takedown this. I personally can't do more than talk about it. Xin does the slaying
