#Sprunkigate

[terraterrafunki]

Too many of you on here seem to be fans of GameToons so I'm going to rip the bandaid right off and expose how shitty they are.

They asked Banbodi (aka creator of the Pyramixed mod) if they could use their characters and despite the fact they were literally told "No," would go to not only use them two months later, but create three rip offs of their characters

GameToons is a content farm, not a genuine animation channel and it does NOT care who it needs to step on to get views and ad revenue.

[renny-mayflower]

Boy am I lucky content farms don't give a single shit about the tumblr OCs, can you fucking IMAGINE if they snatched up Fuego or Tickity-Tock or fucking SNOWII BRU LMAO

Imagine the OCs created SPECIFICALLY to replace OCs in Gametoons that got stolen end up getting stolen themselves,,, oh the OC-ception would be DEVASTATING

It'd be really fucking funny admittedly but also really devastating

[vanillaaaaaaaaa3]

Look what we have here…

You could say, “I told you,” on this, but the damage has already been done.

I also don’t have a google account so it would be hard to file a copyright claim. Ugh.

For those wondering, yes, this is my oc, and yes that is my fandom account.

Hey @terraterrafunki ... you might wanna see this. (Idk if you know yet)

Apparently trinity managed to get a copyright on her characters!

[solardaartistperson]

@terraterrafunki I took your advice from the mistake i made on the last post i mentioned you in, and then decided to try to identify a stolen OC on a real content farm's channel, and then i successfully managed to identify one!

Here is an image of a Sprunki OC named Bob on a short of him made by Sprunki Cartoon, i wanted to figure out who his creator is since Sprunki Cartoon is known to steal other people's OCs

I managed to look through Google and managed to find out who his creator is, and apparently he is the persona of a TikTok user known as @/bobsprunki, these photo here is an edited screenshot of his creator's TikTok account

I checked if he was in the doc, and it turns out he wasn't, so ig this is the 124th identified stolen OC now :,)

Oh i forgot to mention: Bob's design on Sprunki Cartoon's short is outdated and he has gotten a redesign by his creator, which can be found here

Case #7 - Mario Ramirez

...I didn't expect to find out an OC's creator RIGHT AFTER I TRIED TO IDENTIFY ANOTHER STOLEN OC-

Anyways...

This is the stolen OC that i have just identified that got stolen by Ashish Patel (or more infamously known as Sprunki Cartoon)

Meet Mario Ramirez

He appears to be a recolored version of Gray, with a red colored head and horns with a blue body, and with an additional detail of him wearing a golden crown with cyan jewels, he also appears to lack the freckles that Gray has

Now, i've discovered that he is actually the persona of a YouTuber of the same name

Additionally, the sprite of Mario that Ashish traced from specifically comes from the well-known Sprunki.MSI mod created by DylanTheWolf

Oh wait! A familiar face...?

Oh, it's Willow!

No, i actually haven't found Willow nor Stick-Old's creators, but what i do know about Willow is that she may have been created by Mario's girlfriend (since he never made an introduction video about her, but he hasn't mentioned her on YouTube at all for some reason so it's kinda hard to tell if Mario created her or not)

Wait, i almost forgot, Mario might have to go onto the blacklist simply because it appears that his creator doesn't seem to care that his sona got stolen

(He speaks Español btw if you haven't seen one of the images above, he's just saying "IT'S MEEEEEEEE")

Anyways, Solar out

(Oh and uh, i may have to save some of the OCs i've also identified for the next cases since this-)

Liked that other Doodle I did so much I remade it digitally so it could look funnier.

I guess to keep myself sane during the making of the sheet I've been imagining it as Lanterra on a grand adventure to get her friends back after they were abducted by sprunki representations of the major Content Farms. Meeting the stolen OCs along the way whom they've already enslaved.

Animus she releases on accident and he just kinda tags along like a support gremlin that Lanterra really doesn't mind having around as someone is better than no one.

Bonus

Animus belongs to Banbodi (Pyramix) on Twitter

Lanterra belongs to me!

Sprunki OC vs Content Farms - Master List

I am working on an extensive list documenting EVERY known OC that has ever been stolen by a content farm

This is becoming a bigger epidemic as content farms have run out of milking Vanilla sprunki and have turned to fan-made mods, youtube videos, and tiktoks to snatch ocs. There are currently 51 identified OCs listed.

This document is a group effort to not only shine a light on the problem but to compile resources with ways to combat this and avoid being stolen from

If you know of any OCs not on the list that have been stolen, or know of an OC on the unidentified list, or have any guides or resources regarding reporting content farms, please contact me. I can't do this without outside help.

Meet the new Rainbow, Iris!

Based on the fact that white light is all the colors combined, rainbows appear when light is refracted.

She is a very, very sheltered and idealistic 10 year old girl with the power of light, though her "parents" are using them for their own gain. Her light powers being inspired by an ancient tumblr post about magical girl transformations. The colored line on her also changes with her mood, she wears her emotions on her sleeve very much, lol.

How to Boycott/Protest Incredibox and So Far So Good for their actions against modders

Email source one

Email source two

The fact they want to take down mods that "stray too far" from the original incredibox vaguely is an overreach that is unacceptable. Saturation or otherwise. The blame is on content farms, not the modders who can do nothing to stop them

BREAKING: Sprunki was falsely trademarked by a bad actor

A redditor has done some sleuthing and may have discovered why everything is being taken down and why So Far So Good have suddenly gone into damage control so suddenly

A trademarking firm called ShinStar LLC seems to either have been misused or POACHED the trademark of multiple uses of Sprunki from coloring books to the right to use it in animations.

It has already gone through and struck down multiple sprunki-themed websites and roblox games.

It is unknown what individual filed these trademarks through ShinStar LLC and why they are doing this. There are theories now that either THIS is why So Far So Good jumped into action since a few of the trademarks reference Incredibox, or (and I doubt it) So Far So Good are somehow behind it (If they were why wouldn't they file it through their company??)

Either way, trying to steal the ownership of the entire Sprunki universe from its creator, the 16 year old NyankoBFLol, is disgusting and I can only hope something can be done about this.

How to report robo comments on Content Farm videos and raise the alarm to Youtube

If you've been helping me track down stolen OCs, you'll find in a lot of cases these videos have comments from random people with numbers afterward that are leaving generic comments about the videos

This is against youtube's terms of service and can possibly lead to a channel being terminated for participating in this

That being said, you should be reporting these comments anytime you see them on a content farm video. The more robo comments being sent to a single content farm, the more likely you are to lead to its termination

Here is is how to report robo comments [or fake engagement] on Youtube

As you can see, when we visit one of the above channels in that comment chain. It is empty and was only made recently. A clear sign of a robo channel

Click the more button and then click "Report User"

2. Click "Spam and Scams" which is what fake engagement falls under

3. Click ahead until you get to "Additional Notes" then add context akin to the the following message:

This account exists to leave positive comments on videos in order to artificially inflate view count and interaction in order to game the algorithm and make the videos more popular than they actually are.

4. Click submit and you have filed a claim

I don't expect us to be able to stop the bots, what I DO want to do is have mass-reports flood into youtube linking these accounts to the bots so they can receive warnings, suspensions, and hopefully terminations.

What I do is usually tab open a few of these robo account then report them one by one.

If copyright fails, we can always turn to reporting the other shady methods Content Farms use to scam the algorithm and get them off of youtube

Fight the good fight!

Negative Reviews from GameToon's studio, Parent Company Newscape Studio

Turns out I have to tap the sign harder. This is not about YOUR FEELINGS FOR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. This is about real people exploited by this company and their experiences.

Source: Indeed.com

If you're wondering about Positive reviews, I suspect they're fake or very likely fudged based on a script, because there's two separate reviews that use the exact same fuckin statements and title

TL;DR: Gametoons is a terrible company ran by terrible people. The fact people are still being abused by this company and recent grads head hunted is awful

[terraterrafunki]

BREAKING: It would seem that Sprunki Cartoon (Aka ashishpatel2276) has either deleted their account or been terminated after the post regarding the accounts with the most thefts.

Their videos have vanished and this appears to be the end of THE biggest Sprunki OC thief on youtube.
