I have replied to people using my photos for the Etsy accusations crap. Then I get ignored, blocked, or both. I'm right here yelling "HELLO I'm talking to you! - That's my work you idiots! Haven't done anything wrong!" #EtsySeller #etsyartist #etsydollartist @Etsy

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

I always knew people just read headlines yet won't take one minute to check if true or not. I almost fell for it too! If you're sharing my artwork, it's ok to admit you were wrong. But no one will. I'm not allowing it to bother me anymore. Stats/views are slowly going down @Etsy

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@juliefreshour1 @Etsy Also the lady who purchased my art doll has been a client of mine for almost 15 years. Sweetest person and very thankful for the people who adopt my work.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@juliefreshour1 @Etsy Interesting how people skip to photo 4 but not photo 3 where it clearly states this. :) Shows you the before and after video too!

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@juliefreshour1 @Etsy Julie, you are sharing one of my art dolls. The reborn vampire baby. I'm the artist who creates them. Feel free to take 2 minutes & READ the description, and bio and come to my website. We are not a part of these accusations and have done nothing wrong. Thanks for looking though!

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@juliefreshour1 @Etsy Julie, as one of these Etsy artists who are being targeted and accused of this, feel free to come to my Etsy shop and get to know me. We are not a part of this. We have used it as a marketing tactic for years. Nothing new.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@onesparkfire @MaeAnneB @Etsy Thanks! Anyone can reach out to me anytime! But when I speak up on those posts they ignore me. Interesting how that works, doesn't fit their narrative. I'm just going to move on. :)

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@BlameBootsy @Etsy This is one of many messages I've received. I'm sorry to see she closed her shop.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

Artists are being attacked stating because we list our dolls for a high price, we must be apart of the @Etsy child trafficking listings. We will not stand to have our names be a part of this disgusting mess. Target Etsy not honest sellers who list their work for a high $ amount!

[Bootsy Cynic @BlameBootsy]

Qanon's Etsy Trafficking conspiracy is affecting real artists who are just trying to make a living. This woman did nothing wrong, and her reviews were stellar. Qanon sheep are shameful monsters.

@BlameBootsy @unhealthytruth haha, yes thank you! I'm gonna go make some art now. Thanks for sticking up for us, ya weirdo!

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@BlameBootsy @unhealthytruth I agree, all for clout. We are now being accused if we keep Etsy open we condone what is happening. At this point, I am at a loss. Do I remove my listing to save myself more trouble? No one is listening and makes you wonder with all the commotion, what are they trying to hide.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@unhealthytruth I am equally disgusted by this. So are the innocent artists who are being accused of this. In no way do I think this is ok. Before you show someone's listing and falsely accuse them, look into who they are. I do believe this is happening just like Wayfair, it must stop.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@BlameBootsy @unhealthytruth Sorry, I hope you know my reply was to Unhealthy Truth who says she is a journalist on her page, yet won't do the actual research and is making allegations that we are a part of this. How is that legal? Thank you for helping. We are sickened by this.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@TonyBol29746891 @GlowWatchCo @Thekeksociety I'm also sure there are disgusting people who are doing this, @Etsy should be the target not us artists. We are appalled but my name won't be associated with something so vial.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@TonyBol29746891 @GlowWatchCo @Thekeksociety It's hard to sell on Etsy. We have to find ways to beat the algorithm. This is not an uncommon thing once we sell our work. It brings traffic to our small shops. No one is doing research on the legitimate artists just looking at the listing price. I do sell my work from $1-$10K.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@BlameBootsy @unhealthytruth Yes, TY for speaking up for us. No one understands that Etsy is hard to sell on, we have to find creative ways for people to find us. Buyers will look for the highest-priced items, then I say please go to my actual website so they don't have to pay as much. Etsy fees are a joke!

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@jodibingeorgia @unhealthytruth Yes, correct. Legitimate artists, like myself, are becoming targets and getting harrassed on Etsy. No one does research, they just like a good headline.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@unhealthytruth This is a Blythe doll. They do sell $$$. Know that artists list dolls that are Sold (Adopted) so that new buyers can ask for a custom order. You're accusing this artist who has positive reviews of something sick. Did anyone actually look at her shop? No. Just the price tag.

[Lacey Michelle @OddlySweetDolls]

@unhealthytruth It is very irresponsible of you to assume just because artists sell dolls or have high-priced items on Etsy that we are a part of this disgusting ring! I am now a target! But not @etsy? My work and other friends' work do sell for thousands. Just assume away without ANY RESEARCH!!
