Predators and Prey

there is no such thing as coincidence.

I have no idea, though, that does seem kinda sus.

Nah, it's entirely possibly it's all a coincidence. Maybe they're all friends? One of them scored a nice request on here and told the others.

I'm probably looking to deep into it but, yeah, it's sus for sure.

Hey, do you guys mind if I mention something completely off-topic?

Has anyone noticed a bit of similarity going on between some users asking for requests in Art Exchanges and Trades? This is not a call-out post so naturally I won't drop any names - it's just a bit funny to me that they all have these things in common:

Cutesy characters. Centered texts. Joined very recently.
Three of them are of the exact same age. The rest don't have their age listed.

Ofc it could just be a coincidence. I haven't been here for very long so I'm wondering if this a thing that's always been going on here. Do you guys get a lot of people joining only to do this?

I was gonna make a thread about this. I've definitely seen them.

Glad I'm not the only one. However, once again, I'm not pointing any fingers - just, uh, pointing out.

The way some of them type are notably similar as well:

"Her name is... /I'm new to the fandom so...
She likes to... / Her theme is...
Feel free to DM if you have questions"

Definitely. Its like they're dedicating each account to one character.

What? I'm not accusing you.

 

[Maverick.]

What? I'm not accusing you.

Oh, I know, I'm just pointing out the fact that i'm 'older' than most of them and I have no idea what half of these acronyms mean -w-

Sorry for leading you to think that.

Oh, my bad, I thought that you thought I was accusing you. I apologize, I'm a dummy! : D

DM = Direct Message (I think) Means you send someone a personal message (like Notes on FA or start a convo on here)

ooohhhhh, thanks...

I tend to like.... NOT use acronyms even though they're easier lol

There are few more things about them I want to point out regarding the similarities but that would most likely give them away. The last thing I want is to accuse innocent people.

 

[Pygmepatl]

Mostly because we don't actually learn most of the grammar etc....

(Or at least that's my experience)

Outside of jokes, that's the exact same conclusion I've come up to, yes. We never learn our first language in the formal sense, rather we acquire it naturally as we grow up.

Another thing I've noticed is that 'English' subject in English speaking countries is about literature and not grammatical rules, while 'Spanish' subject in Spanish speaking countries is exactly what it sounds like, focusing on the language itself and its structures, while literature is... well, Literature.

My guess though, is that even if they are, there won't be much I can do since I'm not being directly affected (I didn't draw nothing so no loss). And since it's free, I feel like the artist will probably just have to take it as a loss because it's free?
*Shrug*
I'll try asking about it later, if I remember to. X)
