The fact they’re both Tammy makes it even funnier since I genuinely know two separate families that each have multiple “Tammies” in them and the trailer trash stereotype is most definitely representative in each 😂

One time, in middle school, my parents got me a t-shirt from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland from Hot Topic. My friends also shopped at Hot Topic. When I wore that shirt and my friend wore that shirt on the same day, she accused me of copying her. I remember all my friends bullying me so much I went home and cried all night. My mom was so frustrated that I was upset and finally said something along the lines of, “She is so stupid, that shirt has been mass produced to like millions of people, it’s ridiculous to think that they’re all copying her!” The logic was so sound, I roll my eyes every time I hear people accuse each other of copying.

JK Rowling was famously accused of stealing the idea for Harry Potter from Neil Gaiman. There was an owl pet, a boy with glasses and a forehead scar, and a few other things that were just kind of superficial details. Gaiman clapped back immediately and said that a talented author like JK Rowling would definitely have changed all of those details if she was some nefarious thief, and he reiterated that the hero's journey is not unique to him. (I do not support JK Rowling, this just made me think of that.)

I got accused by another creator of stealing “her” dry pressing technique (for eyeshadows). A technique that’s not hers to begin with, as it is an industry standard technique, that a brand shared with her, and KZitem has tutorials sharing it, 10 years before she even shared it. She sent one of her friends (another creator) to speak to me and demand I gave her credit, when I didn’t learn it from her. People appropriating things as their own and then acting like they’re trademarks is just pure insanity and narcissistic. I have never subscribed to the idea of having such a huge ego, that I claim ownership of ideas and demand everyone in the world to give me credit.

I write fanfiction, and a few years back I wrote a story that had a really cute way for one of the characters to give the other character their phone number. Someone else was working on her own story and had the same idea with a similar premise. She'd already written the scene, but hadn't posted it yet because she waits till she's finished, whereas I post things a chapter at a time. She was following along with mine and saw the scene and left a comment lamenting that I got to it first, and she'd make sure to change her story so no one would accuse her of stealing. I replied, absolutely not. Keep the scene, and if anyone gives you shit, link them to this conversion. I won't put up with anyone using me to bully her. Because I am the one with the bigger audience, so like you said, the louder voice. But no. Two people can have the same idea, but it still gets executed by each creator in a different way, it's NOT copying. She finished her story, and it was 99% different than mine, and fucking amazing. I'm so glad she kept the scene, cuz it WAS different. It's also one of my favorite stories in that fandom. I get really mad about this subject, and I'm glad you made a video about it.

I think I saw Jaime's makeup and movie series first, and then found Kennie's after thanks to the algorithm. And when I found Kennie's, my response absolutely was not "someone copied someone". I thought "whoa two creators making this specific form of content that I really enjoy? SCORE!" and I proceeded to watch both series in equal measure. I was kind of bummed when Jaime stopped and ended up not watching so much of Kennie either. People have this idea that if a creator has similar ideas to another creator, they're stealing views and thus subscribers and money. That's a silly idea, given these videos are equally and freely accessible.

This is actually a big concern for a book I wrote back in high school (and since pretty much abandoned) that I desperately wanted to publish one day... I took inspiration from the Tomb Raider 2013 E3 demo prior to the game's release and followed a similar introduction of the character being introduced drowning, looking for their friends when washed ashore, and being kidnapped and trying to escape a tunnel. I loved the intro back in the day and threw in my own story line that the main character is actually in a mental ward for a few severe disorders, making her unable to tell the difference between reality and her imagination. This island she got ship wrecked on didn't actually exist. When some of my friends read it, they immediately asked me if I've seen a movie called Shutter Island, because the idea is the same, I guess? Never watched the movie before. I just took inspiration from the demo. It even occasionally follows similarly to what happens in the game, like there being a temple and a parachuting through trees scene where the character hits one and falls. When I wrote that, the game wasn't even released. I then started writing a sequel, and to my surprise, the trailer reveal for Rise of the Tomb Raider released months later and the intros for both were near exactly the same: the character is in therapy speaking to the therapist about overcoming their mental illnesses. That was just purely coincidental and made me feel kind of happy that I was on the same wave length as a popular gaming studio who is known for amazing story telling... Regardless, if I ever released either stories, I would be ripped into for stealing from some movies or Tomb Raider when none of that is true; I took inspiration from the Tomb Raider demo and nothing else. The rest is just coincidental and unintentional.

I'm going to be honest here, and say that while I don't think I ever made a comment bullying her over it, I have no idea if I liked any of those comments 😬 The situation sounds vaguely familiar and I for sure watched Kennie around that time. I could see myself at that time leaning more towards just automatically going with it thinking being overly cautious was better than defending something others thought was racist. It comes from the guilt that we know minorities are looked over more often on these platforms, and we as viewers are part of that problem. That's why I actively started watching more black creators in the beauty community, because even I assumed my super pale skin meant I wouldn't get recommendations I could use, which turned out to be wrong. I'd buy more of the products Jackie Aina recommended, but she's more bougie than me lol. Regardless, I don't know that I even engaged with the comment section at the time, but I could easily see myself joining in.

My friend's art went viral during the Australian bushfires a couple of years ago - he created a data visualisation 3d render of the country with the areas affected by bushfires glowing like embers. He's a very talented digital artist - so much so that people started to share the picture as a 'satellite image' without crediting him. It went so far that celebrities were retweeting the image and saying it was from NASA. Then the smart smarty pants internet people started flipping out saying it was a fake image which, ofc it was, it wasn't ever meant to be taken as a real picture, it was meant to be a very pretty graph. Then suddenly his original post on Facebook gets flagged as misinformation and the news starts reporting it as a doctored image and fake news. Once things take off there's no taking them back. Internet strangers decide what the truth is.

A "copying" experience I had was when I was creating a webcomic. My comic's concept centered around soulmates and used "The Red String of Fate" as a way to represent them. I'd gotten various "copying" comments before, but a specific title kept coming up so I checked it out. It was obvious our plot, characters, etc were all very different. The FIRST EPISODE of that comic even had a notice about the red string of fate being an old belief from Chinese mythology etc. Apparently that author had already received many comments about them being a thief/copying other comics and explained to their audience that this isn't an original idea that they stole from someone. And yet... their fanbase was then going to my comic and putting me through the same thing?? No hate to the other creator! I was just really irritated at the commenters. Both my comment section and theirs had people either saying "how dare you copy ___!" or "just so you know, there's a comic ______ that seems like it's copying you" Or trying to discuss and figure out who copied who. Eventually they got officially licensed by the site we posted our comics to, congrats to them(!), but I remember just feeling bummed and worried thinking those type of comments were just going to become more frequent once it rereleased to a wider audience with "official" backing. My passion for the project kinda fell off for other reasons, so I wasn't posting by the time their comic came out again anyways. But the comments definitely took enjoyment out of creating it while I was still active. Other copying accusations had me considering changing plans or character designs at times , or at least stressing over "is this too similar to this" because although I know nothing is original - it does get demotivating to see so much of it in the comments.

Well discovered that there is another artist who is popular becsuse on IG ll just say WS who all of a sudden has sheep designs that look like NN and created a patreon.. NN has her wayward bhaaz characters registered though because I remember when she first posted she said she was going to do that because she knew someone might try to claim it and she worked too hard over the years getting them to where she wanted. I think that is best to register your designs just so you can have an official time stamp. The You are copying comments are cringe!

So I create 3d art and have been doing so for 8 years now. Back in 2021, I was creating Fortnite art and decided that I would share one of my OC's with everyone 'cuz I had never done that before. So I shared my OC and then I recieve so much bullying and accusations of copying another Fortnite artist simply because my character also has Vitiligo. The other artist and I actually follow each other and we're in a group together, and the artist actually had to tell everyone to STOP attacking me and to leave me alone. Not to mention that I've had this original character way before I even knew the other artist existed. While the copying accusations were 2 years ago, I still feel the effects of it now. All I wanted was to share my original character with everyone, and because of that incident, I never want to again.

It's so disheartening! For a generation (if that's the right word here) that likes to perpetuate ideals of inclusivity, and kindness, and raising each other up, they seem to be mighty quick to pull out the guns at the first whiff of someone doing something they deem to be even remotely similar to their faves, as if multiple people doing similar things somehow de-legitimizes it 🙃 Like, wow, putting on makeup and talking about movies, so unique! /s 😒 People have different tastes in personalities; having more people try their hands at things just provides more potential communities for people! I thought we were all looking for diversity?! Inspiration gets filtered through each individual, and inevitably comes out different in the end, because we all have our own individual marks to leave on things, but we're also all humans, so things being similar should not be a crazy concept...

Might be a bit of a niche instance, but I was once accused of copying a doll customization artist because I had customized a centaur doll for a friend that featured a red-to-black gradient tail and red gradient legs, which this person (the accuser) had also commissioned their centaur doll to have, from a different artist. That was it. The entire rest of the design was COMPLETELY different, literally nobody would ever confuse the two, but they were adamant that I had stolen their idea! Of a color scheme with a gradient. Okay. The funniest part of it all is that a few months later, I saw on that other artist’s page where they showed their latest work, the EXACT same doll and design from before that I’d been accused of copying, only this time it was in purple instead of red. Everything else about the design was identical, and since it was the exact same artist, that means my accuser RE-COMMISSIONED the artist to make their doll EXACTLY THE SAME but a different color because it bothered them THAT MUCH that another doll had the same color scheme as theirs! And that artist isn’t cheap! They really spent twice as much on that doll to get it painted twice just because of a shared color scheme!

Like if she got bangs and then someone else in one of her classes got them she'd say they copied her, or if she started doing a fashion trend and she noticed other people started doing it too then she'd say they're copying her. Even if people were listening to a song she liked, it was a big deal. But what was funny was that she'd find someone on Instagram and become like obsessed with them and shed change her whole aesthetic to match them. And whenever she liked a guy she'd find out what kind of girls he wanted and change herself so much to become like those girls. It's kinda sad thinking about it now but like damn it was crazy to watch.

I truly agree with Pablo here, art IS theft. No idea is original. It's about taking various things and making it your own, expressing it your own way. And even if someone flat out copies you like....who cares..... 99% of the time it's not actually affecting the one copied outside of being mad butthurt about it.* I used to trace every drawing I ever made. Now, in my defense, I never posted these online or tried to take credit- but still. I learned a lot from copying other more talented artists, and it helped me improve my skill enough to make original drawings. It really holds true that imitation is the highest form of flattery. *I wrote this before she showed the dudes copying her videos, and I do think that's wrong, but I stand by the fact that it's better to just let it go instead of making a big deal out of it.

Good point! 👍 I actually randomly found Jaime when she posted a reply to the guy calling her a Beige Becky. Weird algorithm because I didn't know him either. That was all I need to see to start following her.

Wonderful video - I needed to hear this. I'm an artist and always feel like I shouldn't be doing pretty much anything that's ever been done before....which is literally everything. You're one of the very few authentic people who make me smile and laugh. Thank you for what you do!

I love you AND Chelcie Lynn and it kinda breaks my heart for you that the internet made you feel like you couldn’t simultaneously exist in your own creative space. Either way, you’re a gem ❤

Your movie reviews are the best! It’s so crazy how badly you were accused-everyone reviews movies and either eats, does hair, applies makeup, etc. It is so natural for people to do; to relate and make more personal. Your reviews and perspectives on mediocre movies is the absolute best!

I once heard someone say there are no original thoughts and even if you think it is there has probably been someone somewhere who has thought it first whether it was publicized or not is irrelevant not to make anyone feel less than but to rather lessen the pressure of feeling like we have to strive to be original it's okay that we overlap that's how we find our people ❤ I remember the tiny hand debacle as well , I'm so proud of you moving forward and changing your perception it's inspiring

Yep I heard this too. It can be somewhat discouraging but also kinda of a relief that I can create something someone else thought of too.

Also, you should 100% fight back against those people copy right claiming you after they stole your own videos. I'm sure you could easily prove your own identity to KZitem. When it comes to your livelihood, you can't let people fuck with you like that. There's a difference between just taking someone's idea and straight up taking their work and re-uploading it. It kills me that so many people support like "funny videos" or "cute animals" accounts that just steal all the content and don't even credit. I usually want to see more videos of that specific person or animal and I can't. It's mostly upsetting because actual creators have to deal with the crap you're discussing meanwhile no one seems to go after these faceless accounts. There's a big difference between copying or inspiration vs stealing. Hope you get it worked out!

At the risk of sounding tragic, I wish I knew you in real life because you seem like an incredible person and an amazing mate. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t let strangers on the internet stop you from being the amazing comedian you were born to be. ❤

This is such a painful portion of the insanity of the internet. My friend has an art company (The Fairy Boon, for anyone interested. She’s amazing.) and is constantly terrified of being canceled because of copy culture. I’m writing a series and have lamented to my husband thousands of times about how I’m worried that this or that or the tropes will be criticized for copying because my idea is original, but there are billions of books out there. Keep doing what you’re doing, Jaime. I love your content and have for a long time. ♥️

Oh my god.... the ending of this video is honestly exactly what I needed to hear. I was working so hard to create the kinds of art I wanted to create for myself, but in order to do that.... you have to study.. from somewhere right? Something? I asked, ASKED, an artist on Facebook who I really enjoyed if I could study their art. Study, not copy, and if I posted anything I would give her credit for their work, how it inspired me yadda yadda. I commented all this on a public post of theirs and they privately messaged me back simply saying "I would prefer if u did not do that." It sounds silly... but I was rocked and it totally tanked my confidence and ability to create anything, even cook. Cause it's like oh my god I'm a copy cat that's all ill ever be, life is hopeless why even create its all been done before. That was I think 4 years ago now and I think I can count on both hands how many things I've created in four years. That's so sad. I appreciate this video.

Honestly bless you for this video. I've been caught in my feels for a hot minute now because of a sweater concept that I made that eventually became a trend in some fiber arts spaces. Someone else with a much larger platform got the credit for the idea and I felt really crappy about it. At first I felt like maybe I should say something, but then I had a feeling that this would do more harm than good. Again, she had a much bigger platform than myself, so all of her fans would lash out against me for saying anything even if she responded and told people not to. Honestly, it wasn't that super original of an idea. It was a split hexi cardi with one side in pastels and the other side black and white to represent Enid and Wednesday from Wednesday. I even made buttons to look like their window. This other fiber artist almost exclusively makes hexi cardis, so the chances of her making a Wednesday/Enid one eventually were very high. It just sucks that she got credit for the trend when I made my sweater first. In the end, I'm glad I didn't say anything. Your video is helping me cope through the frustration and process these feelings. I know I'll have my time to shine, it's just not right now.

Absolutely! This was one of the concepts any art instructor worth their shot has tried to teach in classes I’ve taken. Everything has been done before, the way the human mind works means you will always reference things you have seen that stuck with you. Your skill as an artist is creating a new viewpoint or narrative, using the elements of the world around you to shape your view.
