THIS IS NOT A CALL TO HARASS KRISGOAT/TIKTAK.
21kkn/zoro, a former mod of goatlings, has recently spoken up about their time spent working for krisgoat. i would heavily recommend reading their own posts on the topic to learn about their experience working as a site artist. in one of these posts, zoro includes the following video, which has dropped a massive bombshell.
part 1: the video
21kkn has stated kris has since deleted her side of the conversation, but honestly, i think it's still damning even without any response that 100% proves it. there was clearly a conversation here. kris clearly had to have replied without denying the account was hers.
21kkn also pulls up krisgoat's account for proof, which does indeed share a joindate and unique @ with kris's actual discord.
part 2: the art
the next piece of evidence that points to krisgoat being tiktakvt is in tiktak's art. you used to be able to find tiktak's art on multiple accounts under the same name, including toyhouse, but she has since privated a lot of her art.
here are some examples that have been backed up:
compared to some goats drawn by kris:
part 3: the timing
tiktakvt also has had a few suspiciously-timed tweets that coincide with events on goatlings.
most notably, this recent one (from september 29th, 2024: before monster masquerade preparations began) that was deleted.
and then this one, which is still available to view as of october 10th, 2024:
citing "overtime at work" in between the giving tree update (april 6th, 2024) and the start of the jestling event (april 12th, 2024).
there is also this tweet announcing a birthday stream hosted on april 1st...
...while krisgoat's birthday, according to her deviantart, appears to be march 31st.
what does this mean?
well, on its own, having a sidegig as a vtuber (and making suggestive/adult content) is not a crime. this post wasn't made to say that krisgoat is a horrible person for having a hobby and spending money from her job on said hobby. kris is an adult who can do what she wants.
what it means for kris to be tiktak, though, is that there are serious questions to ask about just why kris has ignored requests time and time again for transparency on where money for the site is going.
we don't have money for a palestine fundraiser, we need money for the programmer (despite the only recent change, to my knowledge, being the addition of tabs), and we need a fundraiser at the end of the year to compensate the mod team, but tiktak had enough money to buy a full-body rig, which was bought from stardustgummy 3 years ago.
from there, it's easy to find stardustgummy's commission rates.
full-body rigs don't come cheap.
let's return to goatlings staff and 21kkn. while krisgoat seems to have been paying upwards of $800 for her full rig, her staff was initially being paid in virtual currency for their work.
the most commonly accepted conversion rate between diamond dust and US dollars is 100dd = 1usd. which means her art staff was being paid the equivalent of $15-20 per fully rendered fullbody piece for her site.
not to mention, from the mod behind mascot livechats' dev log post:
staff has a lot on their plate, and there is simply not enough staff onboard to cover everything.
(statement from 21kkn's post, linked above)
while staff is trying to juggle many different responsibilities all at once, kris has shown no interest in hiring more staff/volunteers. while i can understand wanting a more close-knit group of trusted people for your site, i strongly feel this preference should be reconsidered when staff is being given this much to do.
and while staff is juggling with site duties, kris has apparently been streaming roblox, doing personal commissions, and recording tiktok dances as tiktakvt.
we don't know for sure that kris is neglecting her goatlings duties/that she's underpaying her staff
that's true, and that leads into the final point: we don't know for sure because there is no transparency at all from kris herself regarding goatlings. if we had been given any hint in the past of where money spent on diamond dust is going, perhaps it would be easier to chalk this up as an innocent hobby on the side.
it is simply because kris has not been fully transparent about how things work behind the scenes, after months of users asking for it on "the state of goatlings" thread and beyond, that makes tiktakvt (and her actions) questionable.
what's the bottom line?
we want transparency. that's it. things haven't meaningfully changed onsite for years, we're backed up on updates that have been promised for who knows how long, the only statement we have about how kris pays her staff points to very suspicious business practices and use of funds, even if kris began paying her staff in real-world currency later on.
and again: don't harass krisgoat or tiktakvt over this. don't try to "out" her or do anything stupid like that. you are not helping, you do not look cool, you look like an asshole.
closing notes
mentioning this information onsite or in the discord may lead to the termination of your goatlings account. be very cautious.

if you have any information/screenshots on kris's poor handling of resources for palestine as it relates to tiktak's streaming gig, please contact me. thank you.
i wasn't sure where to include this in the post itself, so i've elected to add it to a reblog.
note, as well, that there is a claim krisgoat has made regarding goatlings's inability to do a proper fundraiser (or fundraiser stream) for palestine that has proven false in light of this reveal.
this statement in particular just doesn't add up when you consider the fact that krisgoat has been regularly streaming as tiktakvt for years.
this response, to my knowledge, marks the last time krisgoat talked about a potential goatlings fundraiser stream for palestine. she claims she doesn't have the proper equipment to do an actual "work with me" type stream -- when we know now that she does -- and then disappears entirely once someone asks for more detail on the situation.
while i will add that tiktakvt has been advertising a small fundraiser for the pcrf since june, krisgoat's lie that she "doesn't have the proper equipment to do a goatlings fundraiser for palestine" is just another drop in the bucket of kris's shitty behavior when it comes to goatlings-related support of palestine.
