Intro to the Josurin Drama

All pages on this website have been backed up offline. Having it taken down will only make me upload it again elsewhere. Joselyn forced me to play whack-a-mole with her, and two can play that game.


Preface: no user names other than my own and the culprit's will be mentioned to protect people from retaliation: this person will deliberately get your main accounts banned by spam-reporting them. If you want your name mentioned, let me know. I will not be using Joselyn's full legal name as she's a minor, but her identity has been reliably retraced.

All content from GMT+1 timezone.


Disclaimer: all info on this site was legally obtained from public record. Admission to this site targeting you, constitutes self-incrimination. Joselyn has admitted to everything she's accused of, then denied and re-admitted it within the hour. You can find her incoherent rambling on the post titled DARVO. Hence all content on this site is proven truthful and legal.


Josurin is the romanization of how Joselyn would be spelled in Japanese. Josurin is the name of Joselyn's idealized persona.


Around October 2022 (or near the end of the year, ADHD makes my perception of time fuzzy), I found my main Instagram art account banned for "solicitation of minors". I did no such thing, but suspected so-called antis, people who try to police what fictional content is acceptable to consume and create, and who can be very aggressive and even dangerous in their endeavours. The reason for my suspicion was an appeal to the Japanese art platform Pixiv that I posted on Instagram, to reconsider restricting content to what is acceptable in the West. I received backlash from antis that same evening and guessed it was them. However, yesterday, October 21st, 2023, Joselyn admitted to being the one who reported my account to death. She claimed the reason was to make me leave her alone, but she got my account suspended before I was even aware of her.


Shortly after I got my Instagram restored, another artist alerted me to yet another artist having alerted her, to my art being stolen by an Adaru.32 on Instagram. I wanted to check it out, but found myself blocked. I don't recall interacting with this person. Using a different account, I viewed their profile and found 75 out of over 1200 posts containing my artwork this Adaru32 person lightly edited and brazenly called theirs ("Art by me, don't copy, trace, or steal!"). Some of those posts contained more than one stolen work of mine. So I filed 75 DMCA reports to Instagram, and the account was banned. Art by other artists was found there, too.


Since the banning of my Instagram, I had relocated to Twitter. And on April 24th, 2023, I found that account suspended for no apparent reason. I had it reinstated immediately, suspecting the same antis behind this as the ones who got my Instagram banned.


However, having taken screenshots of Joselyn's Instagram uploads of my art as well as saved her Linktree, I was able to discover her operation extended far beyond Instagram. I found a Patreon account, SharkySage, where she tried to sell my art as her own to paying subscribers, directly competing with mine. Diving further into the matter, I found her also running a Fanbox (a Pixiv service with the same concept as Patreon) where she outright impersonated me by using my Fanbox banner artwork and tier titles. I had to subscribe to her Patreon to find enough material to file a DMCA and get her suspended. Luckily, I got her Fanbox suspended without paying and Patreon refunded my $2. I lost my Patreon account in the process though, and being disabled on a 550 Euro government allowance, the $50 this knocked off my budget are a tremendous loss.


I and other artists and supporters have since researched Joselyn's online presence and found that she's been doing this since at least March 2020, where she impersonated the real Adaru32, a monster artist, and has been using that name or variations thereof ever since.


No DMCA and no call-out posts have made Joselyn reconsider or compensate us for her behaviour, so she has forced my hand to make this blog and compile hard proof that she is a calculating criminal. I have already filed a police report and am in contact with a lawyer. As I have legal fees insurance, this will not cost me a penny, so I urge her legal guardians to settle out of court if they want to avoid this getting way of their hands.


I will try to keep this blog and evidence compilations structured, but it's inherently messy.

You don't steal only art, but also writings, names, and phrases. I know you don't care about the Mid East conflict, your brand-new...
