It might be difficult to explain....but imagine tracing someone's drawing, now I tell you I have a way to see every single stroke you did and I have a way to see every stroke the original artist with only a few pixels available as a margin of error. What are the chances that by tracing over the art you'll come to the same conclusion exactly the same way the artist did?

That doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed, this is NOT pure speculation. We have evidence pointing towards this, at this point it is very likely that DHX assets were used due to the sheer improbability that they weren't. The fact is, we can't even trust answers from the man himself, he just lied recently and lied again in the past.

We don't know that's the reason, it's just a suspicion backed by some evidence. We don't have any actual confirmation that he used DHX parts in Double Rainboom, but is there evidence to support that possibility? Yes, but we shouldn't be immediately accusing him of it until we can get a reasonable answer from him or his team.

I think as someone wanting to go into the professional field, he should be more willing to own up to his mistakes and be honest. He may NOT have used DHX assets, and I don't think we should immediately accuse him of doing so. Maybe it wasn't copied from DHX and his team is that talented and/or lucky, but in any respect that's an extraordinary claim and that would require extraordinary evidence. I just don't feel he should avoid it because he should learn ot be honest with people, I'll hold a great amount of respect for him regardless of how he tackles the answer, as long as I feel he responded honestly. This is was a blow to the fandom as a whole, here was a guy who seems to have no problems being disrespectful to the community that helped make him what he is today.

This was an email he sent out to his team. This made me suspicious of Flamingo, but I didn't want to make any further judgment until I had more information about the email. Apparently from some members of the team, the contents of this email are highly confidential, and that explaining its contents in detail could cause the team a lot of trouble. This doesn't sound like a polite email to me. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think we as a fandom should practice what the show preaches...and frankly this clear act of dishonesty shouldn't be accepted.
