Tea Time: Digital Collectible Project Suspected of Plagiarizing Uma Musume

Recently, a user exposed a digital collectible (NFT-like) project that appears to have plagiarized character designs and poses from 'Uma Musume'. The OP shared comparison photos and attempted to overlay the images to prove the similarities, though technical difficulties made the visual evidence less conclusive.

The community's response focused on three main points: first, deep skepticism toward 'Digital Collectibles', which many consider a 'IQ tax' (a common Chinese slang for scams targeting gullible people); second, the thin line between inspiration and plagiarism, with some remarking that the creators clearly 'haven't mastered how to avoid suspicion yet'; and third, ridicule regarding specific character details like the iconic 'X-shaped leg' pose found in anime.

The comment section remains cynical, with many questioning the value of owning intangible digital assets. Some users even sarcastically asked if the project would continue by creating derivatives of famous Chinese internet celebrities, reflecting a general sense of mockery toward the project.
