FinFolk Productions is a Hypocrite

I feel like spread negativity on a level like this is in no way needed in this community. I feel like the larger we grow, the worst these little gossip leeches get.

Why dont we we spread positivity and good vibes?

[Slim]

So umm...I don't feel you are 100% honest no offense. You say everything is completely anonymous but you fail to censor out the person name that one on the finfolk screenshot that they were talking too. Is she aware you are using a message directed to her on your tumblr blog? I'm not trying to attack you but to see your credibility as 100% honest.

Just in case, I made her aware of your screenshot. Keep in mind that if your blog was to become a success and shut down a tail maker, families will be affected due to lost of income. Wait time with other tail makers will be longer if there one less tail maker (especially a popular one). I also want to ask again about the honesty. Is that true the screenshot came from group people must pay to be a part of to had seen that message that we are seeing for free? And why must I have to sign in to view the blog post when you clearly said 100% anonymous? I respect the community enough to help defend people from negative influences and this has me concern. Your answer will be very much appreciated. Stuff like this can scare off future tail makers from even starting if they know there is a site that will post all their negative thing as they try to build up their business and knowing their mistake will be posted regardless if they make things right.

[MermaidAiera]

While I do appreciate this idea, there IS a review section here on MerNetwork. I understand not everyone wants to sit down and write a full review, but if someone was honestly dissatisfied with a tail company and wanted to report about it there are outlets here.

In any case, a tailmaker's reputation is their own. There's not really any way one person can "shut down" a company if said company truly honest and consistently delivers quality products to their customers. While I'm sure there are may people who have had bad experiences with these tail makers, the way the company handles it reflects their level of professionalism & reputation as a whole.

Take the Mertailor, for example. There was a period of time where his products were not the quality promised and customers wrote reviews/shared their experiences. Now, he has improved his business (to the extent of my knowledge, I only know a little about the big blowout that happened however many years ago and haven't paid much attention since) and customers reflect that.

There will always be bad experiences working with companies and people. I'm not defending FinFolk or any of the companies mentioned in this blog--I have no connection, ties, or allegiances with any of them and really couldn't care less. I just think the products should speak for themselves, and customer reviews should do the rest of the talking.

[Khaleesi Daenerys]

Wow... I don't have tumbler so I can't sign in to see whatever the article is but the name of this thread is plenty enough to raise a few eyebrows. Not in a good way though.

[Mermaid Whisper]

I have quite a few tumblrs and have read over the blog.

Anonymous confession blogs incite more drama and fighting between members who wouldn’t dare do so without the anonymity—pagansuncensored, one I have followed for years, began as a simple debate and has now devolved into criminal accusations and doxxing. People go wild with that gray face.

It’s completely unnecessary.

A majority of us are business owners, if not working with children or in customer service. There is no reason you shouldn’t be able to work out issues with other mers/tailmakers without bashing them behind your little button.

For those who haven’t read it, the “FinFolk is a hypocrite” title stems from Bryn stating that she wants perfect tails but, in another post, that absolute perfection doesn’t exist. Is this contradictory? Yes. But almost ALL artists want absolute perfection and, at some point, realize it will never be exactly how they pictured it due to differences in materials or the physics for the vision just not being compatible. It’s a trade off of the industry—sometimes, you have to settle with the best you’ve got at the time, and hope you can achieve your goals soon.

Why start drama like this? As it has already been pointed out, there is already a review section here. This seems like a very poor attempt spread negativity.

[AniaR]

these things are never 100% honest. You'll get 1 person making 5 complaints to sound like different people. I don't give reviews much stock unless someone is willing to stick their name to it. I'll check out the site later but I am disappointed.

[AniaR]

so I read it, wondering who this "well known mermaid" is lol.
I wonder how long before this just boils down into someone with a hate on using this to carry out a vendetta? We already have more than enough issues with people lying on FB, making fake screen shots using fabrichat, and crying bullying when it isn't. At least on mernetwork reviews HAVE to be quantified/verified.

I also find the tone of the postings quite hypocritical and guilty of exactly what they're calling finfolk out for.

I am not defending finfolk I think they're growing and it's painful and they need to work on things for sure, but I think this is dumb and expect at some point there will be a giant post about me cuz I'll piss off the wrong person lol Hard to come across as something intended to be a real impartial look at things with that tone!

I think she kept the "Bryn Roberts" part of the screenshot because Bryn owns Finfolk...

Haha I feel the same way :lol:
Though I'm a little annoyed that I wasn't messaged on Facebook about this post as one of the screenshots is from a conversation I had on the professionals group... I did message Bryn and The 2 Tails about it though.

[shimmygoddess]

I don't think this is a good idea. If someone has a problem with a tailmaker and wants to talk about there experience and state the facts, then noone would be able to dispute that. I understand not everyone is going to have the best experience, but I think this has potential to cause alot more problems/drama. Even just the title of this thread is aggressive.

[MissLunaBelle]

Wow. This is downright petty, and in all honesty belonging to the reviews section. Just wow.

[Mermaid Vee]

I agree with Luna and Shimmy. This won't require proof which makes the mesrnetwrok system all the more suitable. Not to mention that anonymity will still cause conflicts no matter what, and this seems like it was created just to cause conflict.

[Astridia]

Not a fan of these kinds of tumblrs AT ALL, especially considering TWO I was aware of (in other niche communities I followed) Damn near caused some of the "victims" to resort to fatal measures to get away from the witch-hunting they created. (I'm fairly certain SOME HAVE somewhere.) As someone who has to go through Samaritans training regularly and dealing with the messy end (sometimes horrifficly) I am very wary of ANYONE who starts these sort of things since they NEVER end well.

That's just my view on them. They may mean well but it is just a platform for attack, and will be used as such. Like others have said we ave REVIEW threads, let the reviews do the talking.

I know, right? ''Well known'' doesn't mean somewhat active on FB and forums and causing drama everywhere..... It means having practical experience/good service and being known for it. If I was vaguely aware of mermaiding and wanted to hire a mermaid for my kid's birthday, I would go ''Oh, I'll go hire Raina''... not ''Oh, I'll hire.... what was her name? Anne? Annabelle?''

Anna is Athena. The alt account that posted this was registered under Athena's email address. Other people have also proven Anna is Athena in other places.

EDIT: Because apparently people are just going to run with this :rolleyes: Was having some heavy sleep inertia/brain fog when I posted this. Wires got crossed, I was corrected, I corrected myself. There are a few mermaid Athenas, and in below posts, I was made aware of the specific one people were referencing that is involved with Anna. Either way the mermaid athena email that was registered with the alt account was a false one, and that alt account was proven to belong to Anna with the IPs. That's why I said that Anna is Athena. The brain fog comes in where I said that it had been proven other places, when what it was is that Anna and Athena had been proven to be tag teaming drama together. See the drama thread screen shots for that info. Again, my apologies. Still doesn't negate the issues at hand.

[AniaR]

whoa whoa hold up. Anna and Athena are the same?!?!

They are friends, I wonder if Athena let anna use her email??

I don't think it's the same person just friends tag teaming.

Athena has met people in the community, this is her FB: https://www.facebook.com/MermaidAthena/

Because the same registration info was used for anna's accounts. But it's more likely since they're friends, Athena let her use hers so she wouldn't be detected

[Winged Mermaid]

Thanks for pointing that out. If I mistook one of the alt accounts Anna had for another then that is on me. They had the same registration IP in WA, which I checked the longitude and latitude on google maps (looked at street view even) and it was a residence. But looking at Athena's social media, she is located in FL, so that doesn't make any sense. So either Anna made an email with mermaid athena in the address herself (but it wasn't Athena's actual email), or Athena let Anna use her email. There was another possible alt account Anna had, but it was registered at a public IP (A furniture store in Seattle) so I have left it be for now, but am keeping an eye on it.

[Calizaire]

I think she meant the "other places" Iona referenced.

[AniaR]

makes total sense Iona!

[Mermaid Vee]

Honestly these girls seem like they are off their rockers. I remember in the pro mermaid group when anna was trying to sell her tail making services. And then the Athena donation thing, I'm so glad they are banned and thank you Iona for catching these problems!

I'm just really curious how other people got banned for lesser things and Athena still hasn't got banned with the email link.

Because it wasn't mermaid Athena, it was Anna- as proven by the matching registration IPs (with the location of Bellingham WA when Athena is in FL). Also Athena's (publicly posted) email is "fl.mermaid.athena@gmail.com" while the alt account email was registered under the email of something like "mermaidathena@gmail.com". I didn't take screen shots of the Admin CP showing this as I've never felt the need to take those kinds of screen shots before. Lesson learned, I guess. Guess I have to prove everything now a days with these people. Then again, they seem so determined to be upset with me that they'd probably get upset over me sharing personal information or something. I believe Anna made that gmail account to prevent the alt account being detected as an alt, making us think she was someone else. People have done that before, it's a common tactic.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by people getting banned for less?

Seriously -_- If I banned people I wanted to ban, a lot of problematic people would have been gone, long before they either earned the ban beyond a shadow of a doubt, or before they gave up their toxic ways for the community and left. I don't even ban people I want to ban! I ban people who break the rules. Usually it's only a temporary ban/suspension, unless they do something that merits something more severe, or if they keep breaking the rules over and over and over and over. I hardly ever give out permeant bans, typically people really have to mess up hard to get those. Attacking the site would be one of those ways you can really mess up hard.

I laughed my head off at Shannon saying she never made trouble to warrant a ban. Just, WOW.

These people just refuse to be held accountable.

Am being thoroughly entertained by this thread. I generally stay out of drama, but ave been through something like this in the past (On the BJD "anonymous" confession thing) It got so bad that something HAD to be done..... Do you know how simple it is to trace an "Anonymous" post to someones social media accounts, and gather their information so you can just..... SHOW UP?

Seen it happen... (SO much easier when the person you're looking for has multiple accounts and social media to correlate from apparently.)
Was only done because there was some SERIOUS bullying going on and a vulnerable individual involved. However, I think people need to learn to control themselves on the net as; if you piss off the wrong person, there could be severe consequences (i.e. annoy a psychopath enough they might just track you down for fun and DO something to you)
Anyway, back to lurking.

What you're referring to is called doxxing, and unfortunately for our dear friend MermaidAnnabella, there are websites full of people that like doing that, and they're lured in by drama like what you see here. (Ex. Kiwifarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, /lolcow/ etc.) And once they catch your info and start posting it, they will not take it down, and will also openly mock threats of legal action. So the takeaway from this is, don't start drama on the internet. What you post here doesn't go away.

It seems like only a matter of time before they catch on and start making fun of the whole community anyway. You gotta admit, dressing up like a mermaid is a niche and kind of weird thing to most people anyway. But they only hound, harass, and doxx individuals relentlessly if they give them reactions they think are funny, so if you continue to keep your nose clean, you should be fine.

I used to be in that group because it was a really great way to meet other creative artists. I genuinely loved some of the people in it! I left after Anna's initial attack on Raina and the fact that she was giving such poor advice on how to work with silicone. I've studied my ass off to learn how to work with silicone and she'd give advice for cutting corners for cost, which is good sometimes, but hers was detrimental to the end product. Not something I wanted to be involved in any more. Learn before you teach! ;)

First, that looks so beautiful on you. 2nd, the only different is the tip length. She copied you all the way :( As much as I love the look, I rather trade or replace the skin with another one so I don't have to wear a tail with Athena history. I'm very sorry she ripped your design. Athena (Danielle) did at a button in the center of the fluke to keep it close (the button fell off after the first swim.)


Here is the photo from the night I completed it details say I took it in the end March I didn't realize it had been that long. Maybe just a crazy coincidence. The longer tips just stood out to me lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180127/f5046289ca0c33c8e0b8d3f23eaa9ed2.jpg

First, that looks so beautiful on you. 2nd, the only different is the tip length. She copied you all the way :( As much as I love the look, I rather trade or replace the skin with another one so I don't have to wear a tail with Athena history. I'm very sorry she ripped your design. Athena (Danielle) did at a button in the center of the fluke to keep it close (the button fell off after the first swim.)Mine didn't hold up well lol as I used it in a concrete pool it was my first tail I made and then at the beach [emoji38] but I loved it I had trimmed around the scales where the scale fabric met the solid which I just noticed is the same on yours but hey who cares it's still a pretty tail! I made one with a finis wave and Anna tried to copy my monofin and it cracked me up! I did an extension of duct tape. It looks so good I love it. Her version made me laugh tho. Same fabric and I still use this one when I don't have my Merbella with me.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180127/3a4771292a8d96887ad7699736d5d522.jpg

Shelby that is some intense artistic work on that extension! I love the design you made with the different colors of tape.

First Tail Progress: Materials decided, saving begins

She's done worse with fins before, she tried selling a pair of regular fins on the buy sell trade tails group on Facebook and suggested duct taping them together to make a beginner monofin. Not only is that kind of a dumb business move, but it's a massive drowning hazard. It wouldn't be suitable for anyone, let alone a beginner.

Yeah, most of the things she sells are either ridiculously low quality or safety hazards. I sincerely hope that no one followed her suggestion, because thats how mermaids get banned from pools and similar places. One safety problem can ruin it for a whole community.


This blows my mind. One of her friends should had told her that not safe period. Someone will get hurt by her before she done if Anna is going to provide options like that.

Its really unfortunate. Oh, one more thing to add to the list of items she likes to sell. She often resells gifts and things that she bought but never opened or used, usually at a high markup to make a substantial profit.


Truth! Like how it took one person and it seems like no pool in Australiaallows tails now.
