Thank you for speaking out about this! /g
I usually try to pay it no mind since I know they're younger and I should try to be patient, but even when I do try to help, they still go back to copying my OC. I also kind of realize how petty it is to make post after post about this, but it's really frustrating when I try to help, they go back to the old design, and then get complimented for a design that is essentially a rip-off. I just want to help them grow out of it so it isn't a habit later, but it's kind of hard when the pattern of giving them a design and them changing it back happens constantly and with different people.

It just makes me not want to be as nice and that kind of makes me feel bad for my own mindset. It's a cycle of frustration /lh
