Oh oh I actually sort of know the Skunkblood (Jesse) stuff that happened I think? They were actually called out quite a while back for straight up stealing designs from people - I remember a friend of mine told me a year or so ago that they were directly approached by a staff member in an unrelated species Skunkblood was active in notifying them that a design they owned got ripped off by Skunkblood and made in the Zipperguts CS. They were asked by that staff member not to share screens though.
i'm putting another ask in this one to answer your point but it is found skunkblood copies designs, and has seemed to copy not only IP designs but also designs from others. I'll look into it more and compile them so if anyone has any they know is a copy from another species feel free to lmk
/post/689322049255112704/the-zipperguts-anon-personally-i-voided-my I am NOT this anon, but, mod shit, skunkblood is very very known for ripping off things. Mostly IPs, as you can see:

ZG0029-892130093 this is literally spring Bonnie
man it's not even that bad but knowing the other shit it really is blatant. it's also missing a fucking nose. the neon purple and fucking knife are also a giveaway.
ZG0499-896376727 now we have regular Bonnie
it looks alright on its own even but knowing who made it it's very sus. also the black eye with white pupil thing is something bonnie had in the original game as an easter egg.
ZG0498-896377423 (insert jojo pose here)
it wouldn't even be noticeable but the shapes on the cape are exactly like the one on the jojo cap and with all the other stuff it doesn't feel coincidence. also for some reason very rcdart-like figure here with the tiny ass waist

this one's inexcusable
VOIDED-890832926 this one is actually just springtrap like the others at least kind of tried to be original at least a little but this one is actually just springtrap
body horror tag here or something. i think the first one was springtrap before it got all fucked up and this one's the fucked up version. both still very blatant.
