So it seems that Emily The Strange is actually a knock off…

Is anyone really that surprised? We live in a world beset by marketing, constantly looking for things that they, whoever “they” are, are hoping we have forgotten, because it is no longer what is popular with the current generation, ore ven known.

It’s a sad, sad inditement that something so basic as Emily gained traction in the first place. It’s a sadder inditement that people considered the artowrk to be edgy, out there, and creative. Saddest still is the simple fact of the matter that, much like Harry Potter, people are being allowed to get away with this blatant theft of ideas simply because they’re much more succesful at marketing it.

You know what? I think I’m going to create a musical persona called Wiggy Moondust, and wear feminine clothing, and have movies in which I wear tight pants and dance around with puppets while I traumatize infants and teenage girls.

It’s totally original, I swear!
