So I'm going to talk about the ongoing situation with my fursuit commission from @/twinkyarts and how I was forced to risk my health during a pandemic for a dtd or lose 2k and now my money and suit are being held hostage unless I give them a bribe to the tune of 1k...
A passenger on an Alaska Airlines flight from San Francisco International Airport was charged by federal prosecutors after she threatened to kill a flight attendant, forcing the plane to divert from its planned destination, prosecutors said.
You don't get to say "we don't work on deadlines" and in the same breath force one on someone else. Treating clients like you can do whatever you want to them is unacceptable.
My suit was being canceled over 1 business day(📌) A client who was willing to risk flying during a pandemic after having their hand force by a business that would chime on their needs while ignoring the limits of their clients.
Lying to a client is bad enough but to then demand and extra 1k is greed. Plain and simple. No maker should move the goal post on a client when they are the ones moving heaven and earth to get there. Also breaks the TOS as "wasted time" isn't an applicable fee
A maker that isn't willing to work with a client in a situation no one was ready for is not one deserving of praise. Subtweeting an active client also isn't business professional and creates a hostile business relationship (see the timestamps)
Hold your makers accountable, no one should be put on a pedestal while they do wrong by their clients. Giving anyone a choice of losing 2k or fly during quarantine is dangerous at best and potentially fatal at worst.
This suit is not the end all to be all but if a client is willing to risk a global pandemic that isn't over and shell out thousands of dollars on top of their commission that was paid in full as of 11/2019. A maker should give more credit to them vs being blatantly dismissive.
This isn't a Buyer Beware this is a do better not only for yourself as a maker but for clients past, present, and future. You can't go around doing terrible things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay.

It only takes a few months to be responsible for the incredible authority to take away the freedom or life of a civilian in a society that presumes such authority is never wrong. Defund the police.
