    I heard people talking about this project.
    The word "WE DON'T NEED FAKE" has two very important meaning for me.

    I don't blame people who make a customize or create their own paper toy,
    Instead, I'd like to support them because it's a first step to be a paper toy creator.

    One is that the message is to myself.
    I always ask myself "Am I FAKE?" in my mind.
    Off course I don't want to accept the question,
    so I do more efforts and try to make more cool designs.
    If I was told ”SHIN is not an artist”, I'll do much more efforts because it's one of my motivation.

    Two is that I can't forgive the people whom I call "FAKE".
    Paper toy is easy to reuse, but the copyrights should be protected.
    These are in my case as example:
    *A person who sell my template on ebay (he masquerades as me)
    *A person who steal my template pattern and distributed it without my permission.
    *A person who collect my template pdf files and upload them on internet without my permission.
    *A person who remake my paper toys and sell/distributed them.
    To support the new vibes and new comers (young paper toy creators),
    we should blame the unkind people.

    As you are saying, the message often misleads to a negative message,
    it's lack of my explanation.
    If you feel the message is negative, we make more nice paper toys and make the negative positive!


    Excuse me my poor English.

    P.S> mckibillo, I don't know you use two name.
    I misunderstood because the name is on your template "by mckibillo".
    I correct it soon, sorry....

    lmao....is this serious?...come on.....why would anyone take this offensive to begin with?
    I know one things for sure, if I'm gonna take it personal, I'd be honored.....obviously there's something going on out there thats making a threat to someone or a certain group.

    when it comes down to it, at the end of the day that's who you are....right?
