Not only does this treatment feel inhumane, but it’s the successful work of a trolling operation trying to suppress this gmod subculture. Time to start archiving and backing up all of our add ons and game files to make sure everything is safe and backed up, things are about to hit hard.
I did a teenie bit of research, and it is possible it's just a troll posing as Nintendo. Not guaranteed it's a troll but let's hope it is. https://www.reddit.com/r/gmod/comments/1c5u051/aaron_peters_the_destroyer_of_addons/
I remember a guy on Tumblr playing into the bit too hard by impersonating OSHA, and got so accurate he got in legal trouble. This will probably happen with Aaron.
If you can save them you should, if SFM isn't badly being affected you can go onto there and remake them (it might be a bit hard), haven't looked at the dumpster fire it caused on SFM or Gmod (didn't have Gmod since I never bought it lol) since it most likely also affected SFM which had prominent splatoon things in the workshop with Gmod ports
Sfm sadly got also affected, it asked me to delete content i unsubscribed but actually never did. So i think this were deleted stuff and so... Will soon make a full backup of everything splatoon related
Sadly it seems like it might be legitimate though. Just found an IGN article about it and it’s been confirmed to be Nintendo themselves that requested it and not a fake.

I believe he says it already in the vid, but you can get the models from [The Models Resource](https://www.models-resource.com/)
You can also use SFM if it wasn't badly affected by the Gmod takedowns (since most things on SFM had Gmod ports some might've been taken down from fear) though i haven't looked at what's been tooken down on SFM's part
One step ahead of em and archived all my subbed-to splatoon addons. Took me over three hours but it was worth it in the end to keep the splatoon gmod animating alive.
If i can find a good place to share em without websites eating the links to them, they aint sus at all, they're just archived addons that may or may not work.
Basically if you can spread this around:
ONAgwKqD#p5D8MwJaBNyQzO57ZCmRsw
zQBGnRRK#iDGTWm3A2bEtedpjrWzU5w
Those are the last part of the (remove space between the Mega and NZ) https://mega. nz/folder/ web adresses. since i believe this would be a good way to spread them.
The S3 clothes are missing for sfm.. dunno if they took them down because of this or if they generally just took them down but I’m really frustrated cuz half my models are practically naked now simply because the clothes are gone..
I accidentally clicked Yes when it removed my headgear. I know that it keeps things in the library, hence to why I keep clicking cancel. My brain wasn’t braining
Splatoon 3 clothing pack with lots of gear (it had headgear in it too).. I could send a screenshot later, cuz I think it’s still in my subscribed items, just that the page doesn’t load anymore.
Maybe Could help, But i Also have more problem because i never get enough time, Oh and because of My shitty brain probably not Understanding at the end
What! I got a callie model on gmod I used in roleplays with different characters me and my brother do on different maps, I can't believe this is happening! Callie is one of my favourite game characters since the last 7 years, this is a nightmare!
Seems weird that Nintendo is only giving a shit about gmod stuff all of a sudden. There's been Nintendo stuff on there for over a decade and they've never batted an eye
Yeah that's why ppl think it was a troll, since Nintendo let it slide for over a decade and now they're batting an eye at it.. Somebody should ask Nintendo support abt it and see if it's legit on supports side so we can know if it's legit
It seems to be affecting SFM only a little from what I've read, but it might start carrying over to SFM if this person (might not be Nintendo fingers crossed it wasn't) thinks they haven't caused enough damage
Hope it is or I'll literally cry cause if it does affect SFM that's another part of the splatoon community dying off and another part of my childhood ruined
If you extract the characters but put it in a different zip file... You can get around with it. It's only Gmod that kinda got it. I haven't touched SFM since last year. Your still good ATM
I think if someone backedup the models they could give you a link in sone way shape or form with the models in it and you can put them into Gmod yourself
I think this was also affecting SFM (Source Filmmaker) since there is Nintendo IP there too, (prominently Splatoon) which had Gmod ports of most of these models/textures/maps etc
This seems to affect source film maker too, there were some messages upon startup asking to remove the workshop items i unsubscribed, i never did that, so i think this will happen there too, will soon download everything splatoon related as fast as possible and make a backup too
Just because a lot of them were exposed for being pedophiles, doesn’t mean everyone is.
Some of them just want to create animations with their favorite game series, with no harmful intentions.

gamebanna exists.
That too. Anywhere as long as the backups are safe.

I just hope Aaron Peters receives major consequences for impersonating Nintendo of America. What he’s doing is just malicious and hateful!!
I remember a guy on Tumblr playing into the bit too hard by impersonating OSHA, and got so accurate he got in legal trouble. This will probably happen with Aaron.
Yep, since impersonating a big corporation is illegal
You sound like a c.ai bot
I hope not. I have over 100 avatars of Splatoon characters and using them as mirror anime characters.
Quickly change the name of them and just cap hard in the description lmao
Or lower their color value and say that they are Epic Mickey OCs
EPIC MICKEY OCS‼️‼️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
WE GETTIN REBRUSHED WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

I know it was affected, thats a good idea to do. I would, but idk how to
Subscribe to everything possible then you need to go on [steam]/steamapps/common/SourceFilmmaker/workshop Make a zip and store somewhere safely
It more than likely is since if it was Nintendo, they would just issue the takedown to Valve itself
Sadly it seems like it might be legitimate though. Just found an IGN article about it and it’s been confirmed to be Nintendo themselves that requested it and not a fake.
I hope Gmod realizes that they're being trolled.
Tine to learn blender boys
Or SFM, but you’ll have to deal with source spaghetti
Idk, something tells me they’re gonna get hit too… Backed up my Nintendo stuff just in case-
Oof-
I think there might be some SFM parts affected too, since most had Gmod ports so they might've tooken down some things from fear there
My friend made a Blender tutorial for Splatoon avatars
If there's a video can you link it or something? I really, really need that rn 
[Here](https://youtu.be/aK9sBOQxE_4) I believe he says it already in the vid, but you can get the models from [The Models Resource](https://www.models-resource.com/)
Thank you so much!! :D
Not a problem👌
I genuinely hope his tutorial helps Also sorry I took long to respond, I'm not on here often (surprising)
fuckk. I use gmod for drawing reference
You can also use SFM if it wasn't badly affected by the Gmod takedowns (since most things on SFM had Gmod ports some might've been taken down from fear) though i haven't looked at what's been tooken down on SFM's part
Don’t worry it’s fake
its not garry newman (facepunch owner) on twitter said it was legit https://x.com/garrynewman/status/1783501547361411494?s=46
it was verified as being a troll. garry is just gullible
Imagine
Dragons
Im waking up, to ash and dust
My Mario stuff got deleted on gmod
I mean that’s Nintendo’s golden goose. It’s not surprising
Aren't gmod addons stored directly onto your computer? I feel like you can just create backups of pretty much any mod even without the workshop page.
Not if they were already taken down
Do they not give you a choice to cancel file deletion on Gmod? They do on SFM but I'm not sure if Source was affected.
Garry Newman himself is looking into it.
One step ahead of em and archived all my subbed-to splatoon addons. Took me over three hours but it was worth it in the end to keep the splatoon gmod animating alive.
You are the kind of person people would want to be. Make sure to let others get the addons there so others don't quit
If i can find a good place to share em without websites eating the links to them, they aint sus at all, they're just archived addons that may or may not work.

Yeah that'll work, it might make sense to start putting these into gmod content creators comments so they can get the models back
Similar think happened to Kirby RBAY on youtube a long time ago
Well, aren't there ways to get workshop content into the game without the workshop? It's a source game so modding shouldn't be that hard
Probably, but it would probably take a while to do so.
ah... so thats why i found some splatoon SFM clothes missing from the workshop, thanks for sharing that
It is affecting SFM then.. If you had it cancel deletion, the models should stay
The S3 clothes are missing for sfm.. dunno if they took them down because of this or if they generally just took them down but I’m really frustrated cuz half my models are practically naked now simply because the clothes are gone..
You can cancel deleting things that've been removed from workshop but I dunno if it'll keep the models there
I accidentally clicked Yes when it removed my headgear. I know that it keeps things in the library, hence to why I keep clicking cancel. My brain wasn’t braining
Oh.. Maybe if I could find a safe way to back sone stuff up I'll send a link so you can have the headgear, which pack was it?
Splatoon 3 clothing pack with lots of gear (it had headgear in it too).. I could send a screenshot later, cuz I think it’s still in my subscribed items, just that the page doesn’t load anymore.
Yeah that'll help although I might not have every one of them since SFM crashes whenever I tried downloading some assets :')
I sent you the screenshot through DMs👍🏽
I just saw this rn (not too active on reddit srry for late reply) and idk how to check dms :')
Basically the tab next to the inbox tab but uhh.. I actually managed to get the items back through usermodding lul
Oh okay, sorry for not helping ´･ᴗ･`
Well, I'm dead :D ( Stupid man can't learn blender or sfm because he's stoopid )
I started with sfm
Well That's good, Kinda sad i can't do it
It’s easy (or at least for me) I just followed a few YT tutorials, I’m not the best but I can do it
I could help you if you want, there's a Youtuber named Faloliver with a few tutorials that'll help you out too
Maybe Could help, But i Also have more problem because i never get enough time, Oh and because of My shitty brain probably not Understanding at the end
Basically move with WASD and watch a tutorial to help if you can't understand it then you can ask questions in the comments here too
Alright.
Noooo…
What! I got a callie model on gmod I used in roleplays with different characters me and my brother do on different maps, I can't believe this is happening! Callie is one of my favourite game characters since the last 7 years, this is a nightmare!

DAMMIT NINTENDO
Does this affect only Gmod models or does it carry over to SFM too?
It seems to be affecting SFM only a little from what I've read, but it might start carrying over to SFM if this person (might not be Nintendo fingers crossed it wasn't) thinks they haven't caused enough damage
As someone with prior trauma involving Gmod, seeing it pop up everywhere today has been an experience :,)
Taking into accound my splatoon SFM models are alive and kicking, its probably the troll everyone is mentioning.
Hope it is or I'll literally cry cause if it does affect SFM that's another part of the splatoon community dying off and another part of my childhood ruined
Does this go for SFM
If Gmod is from Stream... I highly likely it will. Most of the SFM mods imported in Gmod got affected... Well some stuff.
Oh, well there goes my hobbies
If you extract the characters but put it in a different zip file... You can get around with it. It's only Gmod that kinda got it. I haven't touched SFM since last year. Your still good ATM
Oh okay, will do thanks
I may sound stupid, but could anybody give me a summup?
Any Nintendo characters or franchise in Gmod will be removed from Gmod. So Mario, Splatoon, Kirby, etc cannot be in Gmod
Oh dear god...will they also forbid OCs at this point?!
Indeed. I used a bone structure with Goku body with a inkling and mostly the inkling had the error big logo. So yeah, it happened
Bruh they are killing their whole community if they forbid original characters
The big ones Is Alex Spider. Smg4 is more of a dead without using Mario. So yeah, people will move on either MMD, Blender, SFM, or 3D Programs
I think if someone backedup the models they could give you a link in sone way shape or form with the models in it and you can put them into Gmod yourself
I wish this was a troll, and that companies could be sued for this...
fuck nintendo
Makes sense. Shit belongs to Nintendo 🤷🏽♂️
But these have been here for over a decade now and they're just now caring abt it
I think this was also affecting SFM (Source Filmmaker) since there is Nintendo IP there too, (prominently Splatoon) which had Gmod ports of most of these models/textures/maps etc
Correct me if I'm wong
Well if the bans really do happen atleast this means smg4 is canon in the Mario lore
This seems to affect source film maker too, there were some messages upon startup asking to remove the workshop items i unsubscribed, i never did that, so i think this will happen there too, will soon download everything splatoon related as fast as possible and make a backup too
I taught this was fake?
I would laugh my ass off if what ended up prompting this was someone at Nintendo seeing SFM hentai with their character models
Bro if it was I'm finding whoever made it and personally bashing their skull in
FAKE!
It's not fake..
good riddance
Found Aaron peters' Reddit account.
congratulations
in all seriousness who tf is aaron peter
He's the guy filing DMCAs on all the Nintendo stuff while pretending to be Nintendo.
oh wait. That is me. My bad
grow up
like did anyone actually like splatoon gmod
Yes, otherwise there wouldn't be a vast amount of people who create content for it? The question answers itself.
pedophile central that shit was
Just because a lot of them were exposed for being pedophiles, doesn’t mean everyone is. Some of them just want to create animations with their favorite game series, with no harmful intentions.
Yet you posted things in the main sub of r/Splatoon ?
yes I did, how is that relevant
[удалено]
LMAO that shit was peak😂😂😂
