A THREAD ON THE USER @/redditgoldstein. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The Twitter user @/redditgoldstein, otherwise known as zeren, is a known art thief and there is an abundance of evidence that he and his mutals are racist.

A PREFACE: I'd like to thank the Twitter user @enbootle for sending these screenshots, the creation of this thread would not be possible without their help. Go follow them, they make fantastic art. This is going to be less of a comprehensive thread of all the thing's they've done

but more of an essay in the form of a Twitter thread. that is to say, there are a lot more better-produced threads. TW/CW // RACISM, ART THEFT, HATE SPEECH. there are certainly more, so be cautious while reading.

Zeren is a troll, and that much is clear. I do not know if this is ironic, or genuine hate speech. He reposts art to make people mad, and he says racist comments to make people mad. However, that does not negate the very harmful speech and it does not excuse the things he does.

I do not care if he is being ironic or not, I do not care if he is joking. I care that he is making racist comments that genuinely harm people, and I care that he steals art without credit. it does not matter if he is joking, it does matter that he and his mutuals

make racially charged comments and take accounts down for fun. That being said, I am also a victim of zeren, which means by default, this thread will be biased. please keep this in mind. please also keep in mind that I am a minor, so if any of my words are offensive and rude,

please let me know. My intention is not to offend anyone, but it is clear that zeren's intention is. I'd like to ask that anyone reading this to read the whole thing, and report and block this user. Twitter refuses to do anything about this, so I will.

MY EXPERIENCE: id like to start off with my own personal experience with zeren. He recently stole two of my works. for the context of the whole story, I will be posting my conversation with bootle, along with the screenshots used in the conversation.

I have been granted explicit permission to use these screenshots, and I have been granted explicit permission to use bootle's name.

Now, I did not know who zeren is. I did not know that he and many of his mutuals are trolls, so I responded to a handful of the replies complimenting him. many of his mutuals will adamantly defend him and his 'art'. here is one example. I will not be censoring names.

MORE EXAMPLES OF HIS THEFT: two very recent examples of his theft. One user, who asked to remain anonymous, had the near exact thing happen to them. Post under keem's tweet, fought a little, stole art from tl, repost.

I have been granted explicit permission to use these screenshots, under the pretense that I censor their name.

I would share their art, but under the fact that they wish to say anonymous, I will not share the original art and the reposted art. it was a very well done illustration of Technoblade and Dream, and their watermark was hidden under a large black bar in the middle of the work.

I would like to mention that while the MCYT art community is involved in this situation, the CC's themselves are not relevant in this drama. Please do not involve or send hate to them. Their only relevance in this is that both me and anon made art of them that was stolen by zeren

Another very recent event has been the theft of a work by the Twitter user @/RAPIZORE. I am personally unsure of what the preface was of this, as in what led to the art being stolen. I would've messaged them, as I did with anon, however, zeren and his mutuals mass

reported the account and got it suspended under false pretenses, reporting the original art as stolen. The account is still suspended, as of 12/30/20. (mm/dd/yy)

That said, I do not have explicit permission from rapizore to use these screenshots. However, these are widely available under the Twitter search feature. If rapizore wishes for me to take these down, I will comply.

(sorry for the crusty screenshots.)

RACISM AND THE MUTUALS: zeren has a group of Twitter mutuals that are equally if not more heinous. they all make disgusting comments, and they gleefully defend zeren and the actions that he takes. whether that be homophobic comments, reposting art, or racist comments.

Now, building on the racist comment part, the majority of it is focused on black people. however, he has a lot of content on Jewish and Judaism. I am not sure if these comments are anti-Semitic or if he is genuinely Jewish. judging on his current actions, I will be adding a few

of these comments and tweets onto this thread. However, if zeren is actually Jewish, black, or both, then I apologize. however, judging the comments that he makes I personally believe he is neither.

his mutuals also make this kind of content.

Here is a thread on these people. I'd recommend you go through it, and block and report them. I've run out of replies on this thread, so consider this part one. ill be creating part two as soon as this goes up. Do not let him get away with this. https://twitter.com/JGoblin3/status/1344346917120180226
