Li0nez
I looked into the Li0nez thing for the dekudogs, unoriginality, etc. I’m not even in this species and I think something is fuck-y here.
Want to know one reason Li0 might be stressed enough to leave her Discord? How about this?
https://twitter.com/li_onez (Some archives that I hope work: https://archive.ph/bY3NJ, https://archive.ph/ZBBs2. This one is actually sort of racist and also an unacceptable jab because Li0 is German: https://archive.ph/smUUt. If this has truth behind it, post proof, dumbass: https://archive.ph/xAdXW
(I’d hate to think about what sort of DMs/messages/etc Li0 may have received about Peakits at some point if someone’s willing to fake being her, steal her art, accuse her of being money-hungry, write a racist tweet, etc. Also, I’m not saying this is the only reason because there appears to be an avalanche more, but it definitely does not help.)

Based off one of the tweets, it’s a Scarfox or Scarfox-adjacent bitch, which is rich coming from a community that has plenty of dekudogging (something I hope Li0nez doesn’t do again) and an owner so greedy for money, she’s happily destroying the species to get it.
Also, the scarfs go around the Peakit’s neck or waist IF the Peakit has one–they aren’t part of the anatomy specifically. https://deviantart.com/li0nez/art/peakits-mythic-trait-magic-tools-915496550) You can’t own scarf arms as an entire concept, holy fuck. Why aren’t you harassing the Impim owners who used scarf arms for their designs?
You don’t own long shins with tiny feet. Why don’t you go harass some maned wolves? They’re totally infringing on your IP.
Peakit heads aren’t round like Scarfox, they’re angular. You can’t claim every head shape vaguely like a Scarfox’s is some sort of copy.
If there was an earlier iteration of Peakits that were a bit too similar, it’s fixed now, so what the actual fuck.
The Peakit-Garchomp dekudog is a borderline gray area. Fix the tail and it’s fine. Is the inspo obvious? Yes. Is it as bad as the Reshiram deku? God no. The Discord deku is apparently a mascot for the server, and as long as it’s just a server mascot, I fail to see the issue. What I see is pissed-off Scarfox (and maaaaybe CCCat) people mad because oh no! Scarf arms and stick legs! Detached eyeballs!
Marked as proof because of the archived Tweets.
tl;dr Peakits ain’t exactly original, but scarf arms, stick legs, and detached eyeballs on their own ain’t that unique.
jesus christ i don’t know what’s happening but being an overrall shitty unoriginal copying piece of shit does not warrant racist comments. i shit on peakits because with so many ripoffs it’s really hard not to see their intentions to closely copy traits of other designs there’s a whole fucking tag on csscreenshots about it https://csscreenshots.tumblr.com/tagged/peakits
peakits were made to be copies they weren’t made for anything else
