Has anyone seen this disturbing level? Basically, this Mr Blumkin guy is going around collecting pictures of young girls on LBP and then displaying them on his wall of shame, accompanied by comments about whether he thinks these girls are "hot" or "meh". I'm not sure if he's stealing these pics somehow, or getting the girls to trust him enough that they willingly pose for his PSeye. His comments box is full of abuse from guys who are narked off about the fact that their girlfriends are being displayed on Blumkin's wall. I've already reported him, and I would imagine that many other people have done the same, but the level is still up there. He's also included a "LBPC sucks" sticker in the level. Does anyone know this guy? Is he a predatory pedo, or just a troll who's pushing it way too far in an attempt to rile the community? Edit: there's a link to the level here, if anyone feels they should grief it...http://lbp.me/v/2sm4f7. (And yes, that is a photo of LBPCentral's Ionpulsar who Blumkin is using as a level badge).

:kz: One of my "friends" is friends with him, but I don't know much about the level. I've heard about it, but never entered it. Is it really that bad? I'll talk to her about it when I have the chance. See if I can get her to ask him to take it down. I'll Grief it on the way, too.

Well, I agree with you. It's disturbing, but here are some things you got wrong: 1.) He's just a troll. From what I understand he's just taking pictures of profile pictures to make the girls mad. 2.) That's not IonPulsar. The's the infamous Boxxy. If you don't know who she is, you can look her up on youtube. She's somewhat of a meme. Ion just says that's her as a joke. 3.) He's actually banned. If you look at his other account, his profile picture says "PLEASE STAND BY, BLUMKIN IS BANNED". Don't know for how long. 4.) You didn't get this wrong, but the LBPC sucks sticker is actually used by a lot of people, not just him.

I asked the question..."is he a pedo or a troll?", so I hadn't made any assumptions either way. 2: Oh. Well, I guessed that since IP uses the pic as her profile badge it must be her. 3: Good...I hope he's perma-banned. The level's still up there though. 4: I know already.

If you look at all the comments, there are people who are awful. This level needs to be taken down. ASAP. I cant beleave how far trolls go today. The people gave away stickers of themself online, but she has NO right to say things like that to them. NO right at all...

I have mixed feelings about this, though I have not played the level yet. It's not like this Blumkin person is hacking into accounts to get these photos or anything. If these people are posing for him in dirty ways then they should feel ashamed of themselves. From the way I'm understanding the situation he's simply exposing these people as what they really are, and for some reason that has caused an uproar among the community. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what's going on here, and please do clarify for me what I'm misinterpreting.

For what I understood, he's stealing pictures from people who take screens of themselves with the PSeye and criticizing them. PS: He takes snapshots of their profile pics.

Reading through the comments, I am highly amused. Maybe that's just because I haven't played the level, or am misunderstanding the situation, but still. It's funny to see people overreact and break into hysteria just because they were stupid enough to send this random guy pictures and he made it public. EDIT: For what I understood, he's stealing pictures from people who take screens of themselves with the PSeye and criticizing them. PS: He takes snapshots of their profile pics. In that case, this is bad. How exactly is he stealing them though? EDIT 2: So apparently on his own profile he even says he's stealing the pictures. In that case, I feel horrible for finding the comments so funny. The more I learn of the situation the more disturbing it is.

What a complete loser. This guy needs to be banned, and the level needs to be removed. Funny how one 3 year old griefs an amazing level loved by thousands and it gets deleted, while troll junk like this stays up for weeks.

This guy has no right to do this, and, he can get himself into real trouble. More than getting banned, if I remember.

If anyone thinks this guy is a pedophile, stop complaining about it here and take the matter to the police instead. Such are serious allegations and you better be able to back it up before you harm an 'innocent' person. Other than that, yeah I think this guy is a creep who behaves in antisocial ways because of his perceived online anonymity. Too bad for him Sony doesn't think he is that anonymous.

Hello, I am friends with Blumkin and I wanted to tell you: NO HE ISN'T A PEDOPHILE. He's a troll and all you done got trolled. Unfortunately, do to your excessive rage, Blumkin was banned. He is however, willing to cooperate and take the level down upon being unbanned. Blumkin got the pictures from levels he viewed with the stereotypical sad emo girl and or scene/desperate "I need a boyfriend" and or profile pictures that were up.

Hey, just telling you guys that Blumkin said he'd take the levels down as soon as he was unbanned.

Oh, well in that case it seems that poor innocent Mr Blumkin has been gravely misunderstood by a closed minded community and wrongly banned for the completely justifiable act of publically defaming "sad emo girls". *end sarcasm* I can't believe how some people try to make out like these malicious trolls are somehow being victimized when they're finally made to face the consequences of their actions. If you kick the dog, don't cry when it bites you.

I dont know, I havent played the level, but could it be filed as sexual harassment? I don't see how. These pictures were made public by these girls. Someone asking if they are hot is hardly lawsuit material. Is it rude? Yes. Is the dude a jerk with no life. Sure. Is he breaking the law? Probably not. But he definitely deserves the good griefs and bans for simply trolling.

Maybe it's just because of where I'm from :s

Lol, thanks for that Not actually where I was thinking from, my aunt used to say it when she was told something shocking or amazing, so for me it just doesn't quite seem like the best term to report abuse/violation.

This is why it's called good grief: When people downvote and go bananas on a level/object/player, it's called 'griefing'. In this case, they call it 'good griefing' because it's griefing for a good cause. If that makes sense.

Welcome to the social media age, accept it or get o- stop posting pics of yourself online. Oh really? Well I remember someone who threw a big strop after this - http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1826/w3911u51.png I wonder who that might have been, Brem... Hmm, Brem? Hmm?

Blaming the victim is not the correct response. Just sayin'. The people pictured in this level are most likely completely unaware that their pictures are sitting in someone's level as the butt of a bad joke. And if they are, they are most likely furious (and rightly so.)

Nope. If you play the level you can clearly see that the pics are pseye pics of peoples LBP profile pics or uploaded pics. Are they all holding signs saying "I approve of my picture in this level?" You actually believe the creator contacted each and every one of them and let them know?! And why wouldn't they have a right to be angry again? If they didnt want someone seeing the pic they shouldnt have uploaded it.Really? Is that like "If you walk outside with that skirt on, you're asking for it?" It might be impolite, but its not like you cant just go to the persons profile and see the same thing thats in the level Also the jokes were taken out, its just a row of pics. AND, if you go in, walk to the left and take out your sticker tool you can see that theres hologram covering the whole level, so its not like he's giving their pics away. (I tried to take a portal 2 sticker, wasnt trying to take peoples pics, but i ran across the cardboard wall and saw that its all covered)Ah, the jokes were taken out. Oh, except that whole "WALL OF SHAME" one. I'm sure they'd be fine with that, right? Come on, you're not actually condoning this stuff, are you? Theres no victims here, just people who found out that if you upload a pic to the internet, people can see it. Everyones just overreacting.There are trolls here: people who find a picture on the internet and then take, twist and ridicule it in order to have some lulz at the expense of others. And you bet the people who are "featured" in this level are victims. Victims of a some sad individual out there who receives amusement from making fun of others. Sure, plenty of people out there have been in a situation where an insult, snide remark or a underhanded joke is offered to impress your friends, or perhaps muttered under your breath from time to time. But it doesn't make it right. Just my two pennies.

1.) He isn't 'stealing the costumes, he just takes pictures of the pictures. 2.) He's 18, not 40. 3.) As far as I know, he only does it to upset the people and not for any... creepy reasons. Anyone can lie on the internet. I celebrated my 5638th birthday yesterday. I deny that its my face. So you have nothing. Mr_Blumkin didnt alter the pics, he essentially reposted pics that other people uploaded to the lbp servers. Pics that anyone with lbp could see anyway, with the consent of the poster. Really at worst, he just called them stupid for uploading their pics to lbp2. LBP2 isnt Facebook, you are uploading to random people around the world, not your friends and family. If he had done it in an intelligent fashion, like a real level, as a comment on privacy in the social age, this thread wouldnt even exist. Or it would be calling it a work of art and everyones opinion would be reversed. "ur such a h8ter u lezbo" really sums up the intelligence of the people hating on it. Really, think before you put pics of yourself on the internet, and dont complain when some idiot makes you look bad for it. If he would have taken the pics from somewhere not on lbp, or a pic from them that they didnt upload, it would be a different story because that would be an attack on their privacy but they were uploaded on lbp, for everyone with lbp to see. Their fault. /thread Yes, but people don't expect their photo to be put in a big collection along with other pictures and 'rated' like their in a competition or something. Why should people 'expect' others to do stuff with it? Just because people have access to it, doesn't mean it's right to do whatever the heck you like with it. I don't go searching over FB for photos and rate them, and I don't know anyone who does, because that's weird and messed up. Lolol, after reading the rest of the thread, turns out schm0 said pretty mcuh the same stuff. So yeah, I'll agree with them.

Shm0, if you take someones argument, take all the logic out, and make random stuff up to benefit from, your not worth arguing with. Are you referring to my argument, or yours? You suggested that it was completely legit for this level to be created in the first place. To me, that's ludicrous. You also claimed that because these people posted pictures on their LBP.me profiles, they were essentially giving anyone free reign to disparage and insult them. The argument is faulty, and I called you out on it. 1. The only way it even matters if they dont approve is if they take the pics off of their profiles, then if they ask him to take them out, he should. Just cause its the nice thing to do. If he doesnt, oh well.Technically, the pictures are owned by Sony. And using them in this way is a violation of the Terms of Servic (http://us.playstation.com/support/termsofuse/)e: It’s great that users on our Sites can upload or share content with each other, but we do not authorize you to upload or share on our Sites certain items and content. Do not create, transfer, share, send, submit, post or upload any User Generated Content that: ...3. Contains any statements or materials that disparage, ridicule or scorn us or any third party; 4. Is obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, predatory, pornographic, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would violate any law or is otherwise inappropriate; ...'Nuff said. 2. No, its "this is the internet, if you upload a pic of yourself and expect people not to do something with it you are an idiot."The expectation when you upload a picture to a site such as Facebook or Picasa it will, by its very existence, be ridiculed in such a way is both infantile and petty. 3. Since I played it, its been called "Mr__Blumkins Great Wall of Pictures" http://lbp.me/v/2sm4f7 You should at least look stuff up before commenting on it. Or rearranging the information so you can look good for everyone else by playing the moral high card.Why would I give this level any more attention that it has already (unfortunately) received? I took a quick look at the level pics on LBP.me, but that was enough to solidify my opinion. I don't regularly check up on levels to make sure they've changed their titles. And finally, it doesn't matter: the original intent was there, the damage has been done, and the creator faced the consequences of their actions. 4. Doesnt make it wrong either. Plus, again, if you'd pay attention, he didnt rework the pictures to make them discusting, he's just showcasing them. Sans the occasional mustache deco or googly eye, but if you find that offensive, theres something seriously wrong with you. Now, whatever he did before he was banned; Dont know, dont care. Im judging from what is published now.I never said the pictures were offensive. I find the concept of the level and the creators decision to post the pictures in such a way to be. It's easy (and incorrect) to judge now after the damage has been done and the level has been completely rehauled. Did you even play the level? Or are you going by the negative opinions of everyone else? Having morals doesnt mean we censor the world.Having morals doesn't mean we condone bad behavior for the sake of internet lulz. The guy is a troll, and this "opinion" was ultimately all I needed to form my own: Hello, I am friends with Blumkin and I wanted to tell you:... He's a troll and all you done got trolled.
