    My bad for the late reply—didn’t realize my art hit you so hard you couldn’t even self-insert. Don’t worry though, I made this piece especially for you! Oh wait, you can’t even be him. Guess you’ll just have to watch while my trainer rails your fantasy. Enjoy the show, cuck. ♡

    I'll be honest I've seen enough faceless player characters to last a lifetime so I'll gladly accept a uniquely designed one any day of the week. Funny thing is I've seen people call McQueen the self-insert here on account of how attractive this Trainer is.

    The context behind this fan art is quite... amusing.

    Shiwudesu got a DMCA takedown shown in this tweet they made by Cygames, and antis and haters came out of the woodwork to shoot them while they were down resulting in this understandable albeit weird response.

    Isn't it later revealed that it was a false DMCA report? Unless Cygames are dead set on taking down all Trainer/Uma relationship medias (safe or not), it's very likely that it was done by a troll.

    That is the most obviously fucking fake DMCA I’ve ever seen. The email it’s sent from is literally fucking “anti_piracy_exp@cygames.co.jp.” Try tracing that to anything. $10 says this guy got into a Twitter beef and this is the result.

    Absolutely. The email address he got the "DMCA" from was anti_piracy_exp@cygames.co.jp which isn't a real address.
    There's more discussion about it in this Reddit thread.

    I just think it’s amusing how he crashed out at yuri fans when it seems like the guys spam reporting him are fellow self-intert guys.

    Yeah, idk anything about this drama but am unfortunately aware that the second guy in the screenshot is a prominent and outspoken fascist

    True
    But overzealous yurifans and self-insert guys has a lot of overlaps between them and nigh-indistinguishable from one another at times.

    This artist again? Lmao bro got humble by Cygame and crashing out on Twitter crying lmao

    You mean false DMCA'd by some wanktard posing as a Cygames account on art that's honestly super tame and doesn't really break any sort of TOS?

    This whole situation was a mess since as far as I know yuri fanatics got the initial pic removed with false reporting, artist complained, and then for some bizarre reason few people got mad that artist's own self-insert doesn't allow them to self-insert... which in turn allowed yuri fanatics to conveniently blame it all on those idiots.

    Understandable given the chaos at the time, but in the aftermath that doesn't seem to have been the case. The connection to it supposedly being yuri fans was a discord screenshot of one bragging about it, but the person posting that screenshot was a known liar and shitposter (Also Actually Homophobic as far as I could tell) and it quickly became clear that nobody else in that discord had seen these messages. So either, the person HAPPENED to brag about it for a fraction of a second before deleting them, and only one person saw them do so, or this other guy faked screenshots.

    There's no substantive evidence for anything as far as I've seen between now and then, but my best guess is the person posting the screenshots was the same person who did it, and did so exactly because they wanted to cause a kerfuffle.
