Jesus man sorry, I was just joking. And if you felt like educating me you could’ve messaged me informing me and citing it so I can go on there and correct myself. Instead you tried to bring it to everyone’s attention that I was making antisemitic statements, which is a real dick move in my opinion because I absolutely am not. But thank you for the kind words besides the nonsense. And I thought it was just describing a shady businessman. Like shy ster. I dunno i thought it was abbreviated for shady mister…

Have you tried to contact Raw.Marketplace about taking the post down? They might care more than the seller.
As for the word shyster: I grew up Jewish and have never heard that word used specifically to refer to Jews. I feel like calling the word antisemitic is almost in itself antisemitic because you are associating a common synonym for “greedy person” with a specific group of people…
It reminds me of a time where an Italian friend got offended when I used the word “gypped”

I guess I’m not politically correct cause I use both words. I always thought shyster were scum bag salesmen similar to lawyers which are just salemen with a degree.
I’m a Jew as well and don’t find the word offending at all.

I was always advised to avoid certain auto mechanics because they were “shysters”.
Never associated it with anyone in particular. This to me seems pretty nitpicky.

Oh jeez, I guess you never sold anything on ebay lol… I would spend hours taking pictures and the lazy mf’s would just copy and paste. If you put anything online you don’t want stolen you have gotta add a water mark.

Gypped comes from Gypsies which is a pejorative for the Romani people. It actually is offensive, but most people don’t know.
Thats why I find it funny that our society is so sensitive to some groups of people.
The Romani are widely known among English-speaking people by the exonym Gypsies (or Gipsies ), which is considered to be pejorative due to its connotations of illegality and irregularity.[64]

Bless the internet for all of its wisdom and help and curse the internet for all of its thieves and punk azz bitchez. Sorry to see this @Snook . I had someone send me a cropped photo off of google images once claiming it was their live rosin. I’m not really sure what the end game is for these people. You can’t sell me a civic after showing me a Mercedes and expect me to think it’s a Mercedes. It’s like those guys back in the day trying to send you the ONE good looking bud pic and then you show up to a bag of twigs and berries that they claim is birthday cake as they tell you to your face that it’s fire and they could get 300 more for it down the street. When will these fuckers evolve!?

And gypsy comes from the people thinking the Roma were from Egypt, which is not true. Neither were they from Bohemia, but for some reason bohemian has a positive connotations and gypsy has negative ones.

Damn this sucks I just unfriended them on insta fuck those guys.
Copyright your image. You have timestamped proof in the EXIF data (unless you disabled it) on your camera that will prove you took the image from your location. It’s ok to protect yourself even if it feels wrong, and I could go as far as to say it would be a service to the industry as a whole to do so.
You’re right, this industry is full of bad actors. I’ve spoken many a time about getting out of it because through being honest and hard working, it’s blatantly obvious when others are not. Sucks man. I hope you get that all sorted out.
Watermark!
I can direct you to some great trademark/copyright books. Lmk.
For whatever it’s worth there is no way they are not aware of this post yet. We may not have stifled them completely but we just got this post to be on their page 1 Google results. Which is real bad for an online business. So the more activity this post gets, the more it will show their bad business when people consider them and search “fresh bros”. You might have lost the battle (the pic of your golden goodness), but Future won the war (Google SEO). If we really want to get back at them we just need to get this post to the top of their search results lol
