The redacted paragraph in the teaser image comes directly from the first paragraph of a post I made on reddit that caused quite a bit of hate and resentment from a small clique of vendors and individuals, Dixie included.

While having a bit of fun for April Fools is one thing, directing it at a group or individual is pretty goddamned low.

I debated on responding as I'm long done and over being needled by schoolyard bullies but at the same time? People should know who the people are behind the companies they support. This is a sample of the trolling that Dixie decided to make public, so I think making public my statement regarding it is also the right thing to do.

You literally threw shade on other vendors saying "Unlike a lot of vendors, I don't work out of my bedroom, kitchen or garage" and now you're annoyed that another vendor is poking fun at you. Your whole shtick is "everyone's out to get me" and "I'm creating new verticals with no competition" and this is where you choose to break the 4th wall?

Seems petty to call other people "unprofessional" and then get mad when someone makes a joke about your unprofessional behavior.

Imagine thinking that explaining why you don't want to work when it is hot outside is considered throwing shade....

I don't think you should need a 1.75u Row 3 Control because the 1.75u Row 3 Caps Lock is redacted and you could just use that instead.

Seems to me that both keys are actually needed; proper redactions do need a certain amount of attention to detail and █████████.

Accusing other people of having better working conditions. SHAMEFUL.

This would actually be really cool if the redactions were randomized, so that every kit is different. I know that would take a lot of effort, and yeah April Fool's, but that'd be sweet, I think.

Cool set, but pad printing cheapens the whole thing.

i still dont get the hate on pad printing, at least when it's GMK. there's a pretty annoying misconception surrounding it with armchair owners saying it fades or disappears after days or weeks of owning a set.. i have a ridiculously shined set of GMK Griseann and the pad printing is literally 99% intact, the only fade is on the bottom corner of the E key sublegend. this set is a few years old and HEAVILY used and is still in wonderful shape.

besides, i think the pad printing sort of plays into the novelty of this specific set by fading over time, revealing the legend underneath. a cool character building set.
