"I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck."
Reply from the same user:
"For reference (heh)"
Screenshots of messages.
Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now."
There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled.
Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment."
Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?"
thereisselfpreservation:
"At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

"Fortnite has a new rat!"
That's great, they also just fired 1000 people, had a Harry Potter crossover, and had a horrible Darth Vader thing.
I'll pay a furry artist to draw a much hotter rat who is actually gay and continue to show support to the community I am a part of instead of a corporation.

The fact that the state of war criminals is now talking about war with NATO actually fucking scares me.
I hate Erdogan, but i honestly think that i hate war more.

We all knew that Trump + Vance were pro-Russia, but this is just surprisingly blatant, even for them.
