The uploader scammed the artist for this commission instead of spending the $100~ USD (source).

Being that kind of dickhead is one thing, but why would one actually admit to it?

Easy answer: the same thing that keeps prank youtubers alive: being an egomaniac which gets their high from having people angry at them.

I doubt it but I really hope that's a bannable offense in the discord.

He left the server after revealing this info (which is why his name is white in that image), but if he comes back and hasn't resolved this...

Give me 1 year.

Also no more uploading on this sock (for now).

Well he's banned ad perpetuum from here too now.

I knew there's something wrong with this guy, just don't think he's this much of an asshole...

Such a beautiful smile in the image.
Such a bitter aftertaste now I know the context.

I just wish there are less shitty people in the world

Maybe some of us should chip in and pay back the artist for the money they've been scammed.

Then you should've commissioned the artist a year later. Don't be a dick and have the money when you commission something.

I would order a commission, but it seems the artist has closed theirs.

Edit: I also just noticed the artist gives a 30% discount if the commissioned character is March 7th, which apparently wasn't enough to Marto who wanted 100%.

Reach out if you get something going. I could donate something to this cause.

Also. Just to be sure, has there been any confirmation from bonz0616 that this actually happened?
I dug through their Twitter but didn't find anything, though this could be because they want to keep their Twitter page clean and professional.
I considered contacting the artist but I don't want to speak on behalf of Danbooru or something like that before we have something more concrete.

Dubious claim. I cannot even decide on a company to work in to begin with.

I have trouble understanding what money is about. Definitely a sign of autism.[Citation needed]

I myself still feel like crap about becoming that type of person to this day but you guys cannot read my mind so feel free to doubt about this.

This actually happened. Just send a message on his personal Facebook account and he could tell you about the situation.

So yes, either I pay back 100 USD (preferably double or triple that amount) or I do the bridge-flip. I screwed up and failed the same test again so now I only have this 3-month semester to get out of the college successfully and find a job. I cannot let my mom know about this whole crime after her helping me paying back all those credit loans (about 900 USD) or I would be lynched alive by my dad

Stop holding a pity party here. No one cares. You clearly haven't changed because you're still making excuses and resorting to suicide posting. Make actionable improvements (set up a payment plan with the artist? take out a loan? idk literally anything is better than going into the comments of Danbooru to say "I can't tell my family because wah wah, I feel like crap about this") with your actual life, for your own sake as well as the artist.

Quit looking for validation here because you won't find it. Browse March 7th art not logged in or something and fuck off.

Are you serious? What a jerk. That's one part of the social contract you just can't break.
