Is this any different than when people here bash those bedazzled custom ponies on taobao?
Nope. Not even a little bit. The only difference is that the people here know who made this one, so it's suddenly a bad thing. If the people making the customs on Taobao found the things forum members are saying here and objected, the site would collapse under the weight of people trying to backpedal and insist that that's not what they meant, we're the "nice" community.

I don't mind those bedazzled ponies but do those really count as traditional customs though? I thought they were being made en masse (and by several people) to be stuck to phones? Like they just "bedazzle" a lot of different things (not only ponies) to be used as phone accessories...
This was my thought, also. I thought a lot of stuff on Taobao was mass-produced, if not all? But I'm not so familiar with Taobao as I could be, so I may be misremembering.
Glad to hear the photo's been taken down! Hopefully people will be less gung-ho about stealing artwork in the future! (Ha ha, like that'll ever happen! But it's nice to dream!)
