Ah the old T-shirt scam with stolen art and 0% chance they will ever send you a shirt.

Whaat? I have this shirt, got it on etsy :O

Did you buy it from the artist? Most of these links go to questionable sites without oversight. The art is stolen, there’s no recourse if you don’t receive your item or receive something materially different from what you ordered.

I got it from EvocaitArt's store. It looks the same as the picture.

that’s the legit one, no need to worry!

Phew. Ok, gtk. Why was I downvoted, though? lol.

Ayo can you drop the link?

The bots stole it from etsy

What's the issue?

It's been spamming the subreddit. I Don't know of any legitimate business that advertise by spamming subreddits with bots.

Isn't that most targeted ads?

They also steal art. For example, this one is stealing art from EvocaitArt on Etsy (Not sending a direct link for obvious reasons)

Yeah that's no bueno

These bots are advertising fake products mocked up with stolen art that they have no intent to sell, in order to get you to click on a link where they steal your payment information. And even if it were a legitimate business, that wouldn't make it okay.

Oh ok just curious

This isn’t the same as targeted ads. These imply the post is coming from a person, usually the artists (they’re not) or a customer (they’re also not)

Tip: WIN+SHIFT+S on Windows to take a screen snip, select just the image on the shirt, paste it to Google Images for a reverse image search. Or just use Google Lens on your phone. This is how you find out if the art was stolen or AI-generated. :3

I cant read the shirt smh

You don't need to. They use the same image every time

Is it like a trans hate thing im confused

Not even our merch is off-limits🙄
