When Idiocy and Spite Collide
So we all know that Ms. Stepputat is gone from Deviantart, but she’s still on Pinterest. Thing is, Pinterest has this feature called “Secret Boards” which allow you to pin stuff that you don’t want others to see.
I personally find this stupid, but I digress.
She’s been using her Secret Board to continue tracing off of not only Drachea Rannak, but her main foe FireFlea-San as well.
When Flea drew this:

This showed up as well:

That’s right.
This is a commission that Flea drew, and that scarlet abomination is Ms. Stepputat’s trace of her work. She traced off of someone who has filed multiple DMCA notices against her for tracing her previous commissions without permission and has successfully led the fight in getting her kicked off of DA.
It gets to a point where you have to question her IQ.
Considering how Flea, with the help of many other people, destroyed her on multiple internet platforms, I have to wonder why she’d continue to start shit like this.
Here’s a tip: don’t kick the same hornet’s nest after you were previously stung enough that you went into anaphylactic shock.
For some reason, Ms. Stepputat thinks that she still has something to fight for, and that doing things out of spite is the most logical option. She seems to think that, as long as she hides her tracks and doesn’t get caught, that she is perfectly justified in continuing with this behavior.
At this point, a lot of people are convinced that Ms. Stepputat has a legitimate mental/behavioral disorder. She is not thinking logically in dealing with her problems, nor is she capable of recognizing other people’s boundaries or respecting their rights and feelings.
Several of her ex-friends have come forward and stated that her temper is often irrational, violent, and explosive. They’ve also told me that she is incredibly manipulative; she will avoid apologizing for being mean, and then turn the situation back on her victims and attempt to make THEM feel like THEY were being mean to HER and expect them to apologize to her.
I do not say this in jest. Nadia Stepputat is sick. She is sick, and her current psychiatrist is not worth their weight in toenails if this is how she behaves after years of sessions. But I suppose I can’t blame the psychiatrist if Ms. Stepputat is not being honest about her behavior.
At the same time, someone’s mental health shouldn’t be an excuse to engage in behavior that adversely affects other people. I say this because this is not the first time someone with a severe mental illness has joined Deviantart and caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people. There have even been incidents where these same people had their “feet held to the fire” so to speak to get them to stop.
Shia Castaneda, aka NightFlightVersel, comes to mind. This guy was incredibly sick in the head. Despite people constantly telling him to leave their artwork alone, he continued to create new accounts and post people’s pictures without their permission and take credit for them. His amount of harassment, stalking, and terrorizing members of the DA/HTTYD community eventually culminated in getting the police involved, and from what I understand, his internet activity is being closely monitored.
Something similar to this was the crazy art-stealing vegan named Josue LP, aka CuteTurtleBoy and Tortuga-Ladrona on Deviantart. If you want to read his deal, check out my journal here.
Ms. Stepputat recently announced on her Facebook that she’s in a relationship... I hope that person knows what he’s getting into, and that his potato bag of a girlfriend is bringing a lot of self-inflicted baggage and might very well be staring down the barrel of possible litigation.
I hope he also realizes that she is a very, VERY ugly, awful person who is incapable of any sort of remorse or accountability, prone to violent, irrational actions when she doesn’t get her way, and constantly on the look out for ways to get away with poor behavior each time she gets caught.
Either way, FireFlea-San is in the process of reporting her not only for copyright infringement (again), but also repeated ban evasion (this will be her third account there, since the previous two got banned).
In my opinion? A C&D written by a lawyer and looping her psychiatrist into her internet activities would put pressure on her to stop.
