There is Crazy Drama on Interior Design TikTok

[@MosesSuppose]

I love niche drama that is incredibly low stakes but intensely personal. Like Sharon uses Nancy’s signature stitch to finish her most recent needlepoint, and this causes a schism in needlepointtok that ruins 6 friendships and leads to at least 1 divorce

[@c0smokramer]

don't forget that there's a subreddit about it for some reason called needlepointsharonsnark with a picture of her without make up with 2.3k followers that will be milking this drama for months to come

[@evilhellokittie]

Honestly, as a designer I am of the opinion that almost no idea is original and everything is inspired by something else. These are also very simple designs and it wouldn't be far fetched to think someone else would create something similar. ALSO, I thought that was the whole point of DIYs and further to that posting videos of your DIYs, so others can do it themselves. Lol wth

It would be one thing of she was like a painter and someone copied her art. But she's in a community where it is literally the entire point that you also do this DIY for yourself, because this is home design. Think of it like... someone who does coding to help people have a better running game and then someone literally video tapes themselves doing the same code. This isn't stealing when the entire point is to give advice, especially when some of these advice can also be learned by a Google search.

Recalls 2002's Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc.: "Aqua's album, Aquarium, has a blue, watery background and contains yellow lettering for the eleven songs listed on the back. In big, rounded blue letters the word "Aqua" appears at the top of the CD. None of the song's lettering is larger than the other, and in fact, pink - BARBIE pink or otherwise - does not appear anywhere on the front or back of the CD case. (Pruetz Decl, Ex. E6). Likewise, the cassette version of the album does not contain any pink lettering. (Id. at Ex. E7). Plaintiff's main complaint appears to be with the CD-single versions of the song. (Id. at E1-E3, E5, E9). However, a review of these packages reveals several significant differences. The cases for these CDs are mostly blue, with a picture of the band on all versions accept the CD-ROM. (See id.). The words "Barbie Girl" appear in pink block lettering. These letters have irregular borders and are shadowed in dark pink and outlined in both white and dark pink. At the top of every package of the CD are large, rounded blue letters spelling the word 1154*1154 "Aqua"; these letters have a white and black outline, with an eye appearing within the letter "Q." The use of pink on these albums differs significantly from the white on pink lettering that Mattel is attempting to claim as its trade dress. The curved, relatively thin lettering used by Mattel is quite distinct from pink block lettering used by Barbie Girl. As mentioned earlier, Mattel offers no evidence that its use of pink or even pink and white is distinct to its products alone."

[@toadacrosstheroad]

She's also acting like she started this whole thing... moss mirrors have been done hundreds of times, idk if she started it but I wouldn't believe that for sure since a lot of old art ends up starting trends. The wall art of the stripes/squiggles with figures sticking out of them has been done and I'm positive I've seen it in a movie/show. Who cares about green and blue. Who cares about the gradient shit, I like the trim the other person did also. And the couch just goes with the wallpaper? With the maximalist style it's a lot of the same colors, because that orange is very maximalist. The heads on the walls were cute, it looked like the other person had made dinosaurs (not a unique or brand-able thing) and got inspiration from the OG person.

I have seen so many maximalist places but let’s be fr here kaarin was def copying tay. there are WAYYY to many similarities for it to be just a mere coincidence. and i think kaarin buying her wallpaper just shows that’s it’s not just a coincidence but she knows who she is. it’s pretty scummy to copy someone else’s work as a content creator and profit off of it.

The first thing they teach you in design school is that YOU'LL NEVER CREATE SOMETHING ORIGINAL everything that you can think of has already been done, everything is derivative and the only thing you can do, is make it your own or make improvements if necessary, and if you cant see reference of something thats already been done theres a 60 l% chaance someone is working on the same thing as you at that very moment, as a designer/artists you gotta let your ego aside sometimes

Taebeepboop is definitely the creator of things like the colors blue and green (those paint colors did NOT exist for indoor paint options prior to her TikTok account), green squiggles on things (she literally invented the squiggle), orange couches, moss mirrors and walls, cake as a decoration, ombre and gradient, and fantasy taxidermy (which definitely did not exist even in Victorian times). I've been on this earth since the late 70s when actual dinosaurs still roamed the earth and NEVER seen these brilliant interior design ideas. It's clear that she never went to Pinterest to look at trends and copy them directly. She is the epitome of unique design and a wellspring of constantly flowing ideas. Her tastes are absolutely unique to her and clearly anyone wanting to do the most basic bullshit MUST BE COPYING HER. I'm completely blown away by her amazing and absolutely unique designs and can't believe anyone had the audacity to like things and decorate their homes in a way they felt comfortable.

I really liked Tay’s funky pop kind of style. I never thought that she was original, coz I’d definitely seen other things like it. In my head, I even called it “Pastel Pop” design, after the Sims 4 game pack style lol. I recently watched a few episodes of Tay’s podcast with Dani, and there were some things she said in that episode that rubbed me the wrong way. There was something to the tune of-it was a good thing that her parents cut her off, because she learned how to provide for herself (which is fine for her, if that worked for her), but then she said that people who’s parents helped them out were spoiled and didn’t work as hard as she did. It was kind of fucked, and I was waiting for a clarification that not everyone who’s parents are able or willing to help their kids out financially, are spoiled, but there was none. And there were a few other things that went un-clarified, or weren’t very inclusive or thought-out. It felt to me like someone who has only known their experience, and had some strong opinions, but hasn’t been completely open to other opinions or experiences that weren’t similar to her own. This is very similar to teenage-me, as well as how a lot of my high school students act. I really hope that she really does grow from this and can open her mind to see other perspectives.

wait but isnt this about the fact that she thinks her content is being copied rather than the diys themselves?

[@_flowerfluff_9215]

Girl this shit makes me cackle , I’ve been on Pinterest for a while NONE absolutely NONE of these diy she’s claiming are “ her ideas “ are original . She’s 100% did NOT come up with these diys . These ideas have all been on Pinterest before tic tok was even a thing. I think it’s pathetic she’s trying to claim these are her original ideas . She came up with 0 of this on her own . She’s shouldn’t have tried to pull this . Especially with the diy community who’s on Pinterest all the time .

But like it’s not like Taybeepboop invented any of those things???? There are 2 European designers and an Asian girl that have the same style and they’ve been on IG and TikTok for way longer than her. Most of her aesthetics can be found in any cafe/restaurant that’s trying to be trendy or different and creative. Literally 2 boba shops in my town that have been open for like 6 years have the same aesthetic as Tay, the squiggles, the random framed heads, which is something people have been doing for decades, AND the moss wall feature. Honestly, I stopped following Tay and her friend Dani ages ago because their designs are so repetitive. And omg, don’t even get me started on Dani.

[@Naiya77_7]

Could we maybe get started on Dani 👉🏾👈🏾 lol because what did she do ?!

[@yari139]

@@Naiya77_7 😂 😂 Y’all crazy. 😝 like I didn’t mean it like that. I don’t think she’s done anything egregious like Tay, but it’s just that she constantly gives this whole “little rich girl playing with daddy’s money” kinda vibe, it’s so off putting for me and the way she replies to certain criticisms. She doesn’t seem like a genuine person to me. It’s just hard to explain the off vibe I get from her. I like her style and all, but I just can’t do her.

i left all the niche social media apps but i gotta admit i sometimes miss the low stakes drama, glad i get that fill on here

[@laurenbarber8579]

All your videos have a theme of ethics and values and make me think through my own in every specific scenario, what a fun brain exercise

[@Steph568]

I like how she starts off her video saying she is about to be petty. No what you’re about to be is deeply insecure and a bully

[@delaney7851]

So glad to get back to the niche silly little drama!

[@bridgetrajan]

I have experienced something like this irl, where I was the one telling a girl not to copy me. It’s nice to see this other perspective where people are just getting inspired by you :( Idk why I got so upset tbh, idk I think people just want to feel unique. But it’s okay to accept that more than one person can like a lot of the same things. It’s just more of a reason to like that person!

[@jplace2020]

Love your open-mindedness! When I was a teenager, I definitely struggled with feeling like anyone was “copying” me because I was sooo “unique”. It’s so much more freeing to realize what you have in common and building relationships from there!!❤

[@sp4rkygu7z27]

I love when people only apologize after a sponsor decides to drop them it’s so funny

[@artcowboy]

Nick being a fan of crochet creators I like makes my heart full lol, nick!! I’ll crochet u something to commemorate your love of crochet creators lol

[@ryankat6177]

Bro I used to work for an art gallery website and the amount of people who complain about the most vague similarities asking for the work to be taken down is insane! Obviously copying is still a problem in the art world but if someone was inspired by style or subject THAT IS NOT COPYING

[@Strawlighte]

Okay yessss so excited for your take on this! It’s the first one of these TikTok dramas I actually experienced first hand

[@GreiH]

Tay sounds like if I posted a pic of my bedroom that has green carpet and blue walls she would claim I was copying her. Like, my room has been like that for 18 years, how could I be copying you? Blue and green ISN'T an uncommon combination, plants are green and the sky is blue, it's a very natural combo

[@mscookiemuncher]

i’ve seen copycat drama on tiktok before and this is one of the only ones that seems so unserious 😭 like even the examples tay cited were a stretch like i’m sorry their maximalist styles are similar, its really not that crazy, that’s not kaarin’s fault

[@terrafluent4238]

I mean, there is a difference between an average joe getting inspired into decorating just their home and another interior designer with much bigger following stealing your designers which means less opportunity to get hired for designs. Like the cakegate thing when she stole other people's work and got clients with them.

[@MrKangorilla]

Gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss. Honestly I support Tay on this one
