i really do feel like this is a sockpuppet now

hell the source isnt even where this came from, it links directly to Henkawa's other Patreon instead

all the other uploads seem to do the same thing

I checked the upload date of the actual source and it was also 3 hours ago, same time as when this got uploaded to the site

seems more plausible, then again it could've been an hour later too i dunno

It follows the exact same pattern as missfortune991;
These always appear a few minutes after they're posted on X, and they're comprehensively tagged from the start.
Also, that’s not the actual source – the versions on Danbooru are much higher quality, because Twitter/X heavily compresses video files.

So yeah, it’s clearly another sockpuppet account to shill his Patreon. But hey, one of his uploads finally got approved. Only took 143 tries!

And it feels so strange to me, that I flagged the one in question (post #9329312). Besides, I also hate how their blur censor keeps going over the subtitles, making parts of them hard to read.

Well yeah, of course, but the source doesn't even go to the video itself, just the patreon, if you look for it on there, it's locked behind a paywall lol
Self advertising should be banned

This sockpuppet should be banned even

Both sockpuppets should be banned, not just one of them.

The thing is, even if you paid, these sample videos aren't even there. So technically the actual source is Danbooru itself, since it's the only place where you can find Henkawa's samples in high quality. It's strong evidence that these accounts are indeed Henkawa's sockpuppets, created solely for advertising.

I agree that this behavior should be bannable, but I'm not sure if it explicitly breaks any rules.

Yeah, makes sense to me. Then again considering they are sockpuppeting (Tactone was just perma'd) the "main" one most likely is up for elimination too

Just for the record, having multiple accounts isn't against the rules. It's only a problem if you're using multiple accounts to bypass normal user limits, pretending to be multiple people (happens more often than you'd think), or otherwise using them in a rulebreaking way.

A sockpuppet getting banned doesn't always result in the main account being banned, either. Tactone was most likely banned because it was being used to upload posts, which likley bypassed the upload limit of a single account (especially considering the main account only has a limit of 5 thanks to their 100% deletion ratio).

Nothing they've done besides that really breaks any rules, that I can tell, or they would've been banned already. We can't prove that their posts aren't AI-assisted, and having a 100% deletion ratio isn't technically against the rules if the Approvers aren't citing "poor quality" or "breaks rules" as their rejection reason.

I don't personally agree with what this user is doing, but if it's not bothering the Moderators, then it is what it is, I guess.

Yeah fair enough, sorry i'm still figuring stuff out, i thought sockpuppeting in this degree was punishable from the main account too, admittedly. But i guess if missfortune isn't breaking any rules technically, thats fine enough
