RE: user malakiwi's "plagiarism" claims
Recently, user @malakiwis has claimed that they were plagiarized by another fic writer. This is false.
HERE is the drive with all of the evidence documenting malakiwi (kai's) plagiarism. The drive contains downloaded versions of their fic, along with videos proving that it is their fic. The drive also contains a document with screenshots and detailed explanations of many of the fics they plagiarized, along with proof of their plagiarism.
There were a total of 7 fics that we could prove were plagiarized.
With Kai's claims that these other stories were plagiarized from them, we wanted to make sure that the authors they stole from were being fairly represented in this process, and that the theft and hurt were being addressed rather than hidden in private conversations and deleted stories.
This post was solely made in response to Kai making it public, as we had wanted to keep things private and out of the spotlight.
ALSO NOTE: PLEASE do not witchhunt kai. This is meant to spread awareness about fandom etiquette, and fan culture etiquette, and to shed light on Kai's blatant plagiarism against particular authors, not to "expose" or "cancel them". Do not send them or any of the authors listed in here hate. Witch hunts and hatred solve nothing. I and everyone else who worked on this tirelessly for the past week do not condone any form of hate messages or posts. This is meant to spread fandom wide awareness.
In their original post, Kai also claims to have spoken to the author - this is false, as we have spoken to the actual author who has no recollection of ever speaking to Kai.
