First and formerly, I would like to reach out and say, thank you to all of the people that have supported us in public, and in private. And to the Event Owners that have been put into a situation. Where other creators have bullied you into submission I completely understand your position and for that. I wish there was something else I could do other than to ask all of the people that have involved themselves where not warranted to please CEASE and leave Event owners, family and friends alone. This has nothing to do with them. (this is very saddening)
I realise it has taken me quite some time to get around to addressing this issue BUT there is quite a few reasons why and not because of running or being a coward or being guilty there was a few factor to take into consideration of this decision as I have always stood fast on dealing with this in a professional and private matter and that airing your dirt on social media at end of day benefits NO ONE but does more harm to all parties involved BUT here we are put into a position to defend something that does not need defending.
Mental health, Physical health and Finical loss are all at stake here for all parties involved, and none of this is ok with Our Team here at CULT. I (we) under no circumstance support this kind of behaviour and airing your fake dirt on socials or in any form with out handling it the right way with legality’s and private conversations is just a means of bullying people and not what you all claim to stand for in this community but here most of you are partaking in a modern day witch hunt at the expenses of what? ( slander, defaming a reputation and false accusations)? Because people are inspired by the same Pinterest? same google image or a Second life image? where they them selves were inspired by at some point SOME ONE else’s design? because people can all have same taste or even perhaps some people were sick of people being inspired there work so they got petty and did it back? How many stores replica Gucci or Nike or any other huge brand ? and do you all witch hunt them? NO you go buy their products, this also DOES not mean that they are a thief, or use stolen mesh, or have or are using mesh from other illegal sites. But now we have been forced into a situation that we have to publicly defend myself and my work, and have seek legal consort and have filed A ” Cease and Desist ” order against said parties involved for the slander and defaming of character and work ethics and also a complaint to the eSafety Commissioner – our reference ACA-2024-0546670 for the Flickr and Face book Slander – Please be aware this is your official public warning as well as the ones you have been or will be receiving in email or message to inbox via a social media platform by the lawyer. (supplying facts with hard core proof and slander are different please bare that in mind) Not where I ever wanted this to go as some of you I believe were of a friend. The extreme bullying from all of you and the ones also being bullied into how you live or conduct your business in second life I feel empathy for you and I’m making trying to make STATEMENT and a legal stand point so at least this hopefully will never happen to any one again or people will think twice ( the lawyers have COST alot and take time so bare with me)
I like to go in prepared with facts, not fiction. I’m not going stand out in the middle of the street and call false allegation’s and falsely accuse people of something and allow people to get on the witch hunt of a cancer culture society that sadly. This has now become. After I post My facts and Our truth I do not wish there to be any slander or bad talk about other creators nor do I wish any of them any harm or to be trashed in there character please keep that in mind if you are responding to this I am here to show facts and our proof for no other reason to not be labelled a thief! and with hopes this will never ever happen to another person on grid and people will let people be and get on with there existence here

My history in Second life is long and some of you i have had pleasure of also meeting irl and ALOT of you. I wasn’t always a Mesher and owned clubs and got sick irl and with time away from my real-life job studied at South Metropolitan TAFE Virtual 3D for over 6 months then set my way into 3d modelling not only for second life but as a freelance Mesher over years on Elance and other sites allowing me to work with some real life kick ass companies and making a lot of cool friends in industry that mesh, along with that i was a Full perm Mesher on second life and I worked for Toxic Templates ( great store btw) and extremely talented lady and then moved onto DEADPOOL full perm mesh, Hell I have even made mesh for other FULL PERM store on second life. I have also made many many stores mesh over the years some stores we have made there entire stores and some other designer’s here and there filling there stores with quality mesh for the community, all of my orders have always been with references from direct images from somewhere on the internet and all progress of orders with WIPS from start to finish ( they all know I am not a thief and we make the mesh) with progress screenshots every step of the way… Now lets move onto facts.
DEADDOLLS v’s CULT our FACT



Sometimes, it’s just bad timing or the same inspiration. Not everything is a conspiracy. How many Hairs or other shoes from past creators or jeans are very similar in design? So many times, I’ve lost count, and we have had it happen to us many times. I will not slander, nor do I condone this kind of harassment or social media bullying trying to discredit people’s work. All things could have been resolved amicably and respectfully, as I love this store and have been a supporter of their work for years. I took her with me to events as my guest. I did reach out to try to sort out some reasonable repair for this unfortunate mistake. I do also have files with dates. The fact that it was put in said post that I copied and in private was said to me by said person. The issue is not that they are of similar design but that they are selling there’s 10days before me for $388L while I sell my own creation on a weekend sale 10 days later for 75L. There are people now coming into my store and harassing my customers with a notecard on false allegations; this is not ok. Sometimes, things happen; not everyone is out to get one another, and some of us are just here trying to earn a living. My customers and the base of my work are not the same as those of this other store. Do not post things without facts or try to come to stores to harass and bully. It is not ok; we are all capable of making things of a similar nature and also finding ways of sorting things without trying to tear others down. The “mean girl” attitude is also not okay towards anyone. Nor are statements required without facts and people going on hunts! Keep working hard, smiling, and being ok with what others create, even if they are similar. Support and realize there is plenty of room for all.. if people like something, they will buy it, regardless of WHO OR WHAT store you own.
718 vs CULT our FACTS
When addressing the public you should always be stating facts not your altered version of facts to cause a modern day witch hunt to defame someone or label them as a thief to destroy livelihoods and cause mental distress when they in fact have been meshing and creating for other business in second life and their own store for over 11 years, When giving out facts don’t try to make yourself look good at the very least show them the real proof of words and actions with out framing and manipulating facts and conversations to suit your narrative
When filing a DMCA you will have a paper trail and all parties will be notified if your DMCA was in fact put through, Unfortunately again filing misleading information to both the public and event owners as we have received no DMCA at all from 718 store, HOW EVER back in 2022, 718 store was contacted by CULT as we gave them the opportunity to take a copyrighted design or ( parts of ) that they were themselves heavily inspired by our design and given advice by team CULT that this action would be taken place if they didn’t comply, they very quickly did reply in a swift manner. Incident was handle privately and professionally. Is this some kind of revenge? The fact that you then use this incident to slander and defame and try to ruin someone’s lively hood instead of handling it properly. I wonder how much traction your post would have gotten if you had of posted all facts with “Inspired By” not COPY BOTTED so you could gain traction with lies and send people on a social media witch hunt, with partial to no proof and un verified facts with no backing.
1. Yes you did message me in second life ( to tell people i was aggressive and rude towards you is a blatant lie) another cry to suit your narrative (we all no you have been called out many times in past for being rude to customers all time) (yes you have ALOT past history too) attacking you? I will included our second life conversation for all to read . AND any one that KNOWS ME knows I’m not one to attack anyone.
2. I have received NO DMCA I asked you to FILE a DMCA against me several times during our initial and only conversation, to only be answered with “Your very confident ” completely ignoring my several attempts to ask you to file a DMCA against me for you to try and twist words and try and start an argument when there wasn’t one even happening from myside as you kept trying to have one on your own, trying to convince me that my own work was stolen.
3. I removed myself from Gothcore I was never asked to LEAVE after lengthy private conversations with owners I told them to let you know the ONLY reason I excused myself from event for that round was so they would stop getting drama from you. (conversation will also be provided) ALSO amazing props to the event owners for being so professional and kind (we appreciate you)
4. I have all my mesh files and a recreation video of base in question from start to finish so that you can see how easy it is to mesh something of a similar nature.
Here are our facts of the past with said store and our paper trails and a short Video on making of the base .. cant fit whole video of base made on here but you can watch part two in CULT discord server !

No where was i rude or aggressive – don’t make things Untruthful to suit your narrative to have people on your side.

the second life community and the world in general need to stop all the hate and stop jumping on things with little to no facts and build each other up, there are alot of meshers in world that can replicate anything and so many shoes in world along with tank tops jeans ect that all resemble each other please get your facts before making harsh choices being “Inspired By” vs ” “COPYBOTT” is calling someone a thief – Not cool
To Gemini I’ve been creating shoes before you were on the grid as a shoe seller and we both no if you go to my whole entire catalogue which isnt even on flikr but you will find it on Facebook you will see alot of my shoe’s you seemed to have gotten inspiration from? or just maybe same Pinterest or other net images with a twist.. and any other store owner that wants to jump on a bandwagon that inspiration is theft or replicating but changing a few points is stealing or accusing people of theft? ….then you need to re-evaluate this whole entire situation and your perception because 90% of Second life creations are THIS.. I myself and my team have been making mesh here on grid since 2015-16 making mesh for so many stores and helping them reach deadlines. you do realise at 6 to 7 sometime 8 pieces of mesh a WEEK that is 416 pieces of mesh a year that totals to over 4,000 pieces of mesh…accusing someone of theft and trying to have them run out of a business here is also a crime, you would want to make sure what your all slandering around is TRUTH .. way to much hate here on this community and what I know most of you rely on this for paying bills or eating food.. alot of people here have mental health issues and are barely hanging on… what if this was straw that tipped them over edge WHAT IF your last words here were the cause of them to take there own life? THEN WHAT!? alot of you need to go and reflect about somethings and take a very deep long thought about all of this… we are here to create NOT HATE. be humble be kind or say nothing at all and go about things in the proper manner. be it private or through legal.
Thank you to all the people that used some common sense or that sent out pouring messages of kindness this has been a huge stress on all….and alot of people in the community have at one time or another been a victim of this kind of hate or unkindness, I really hope this can stop and before making judgement on people ever again – ASK them or get all your facts from all parties

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” -Albert Schweitzer… I have been thinking a lot about compassion this week. The concept of Love over fear and Love over anger is a common theme in my life, but I feel like a new spotlight has shone on the idea of loving-kindness since I started writing this days ago. I’ve been thinking about grace and benevolence and about giving people the benefit of the doubt. Moreover, it has been a challenge. Some people, myself included, believe that the Universe sends us challenges to help us learn and grow and evolve. I have had a couple of challenges to my loving-kindness perspective in the last 9 days.
If you took time to read this and hear our side -thank you, Keep smiling and be kind.
