As noted by aplummer (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25621023 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25621023), the “body” in the title is the virtual body, that is a 3D model including the animation rig. The origin of the dispute is that the artist that made the model for her claims that, after she bought the model, he did some extra work that she did not pay: > The artist said on Twitter that he stopped working with Melody earlier this year, claiming that she failed to pay him for “months of support” that included “free assets, fixes, and project management.” He then asked her to sign a “service deal” for ongoing support, which she refused. “She didn’t pay for the service deal nor the work I did leading up to it. So I said bye,” DigitrevX wrote. > Melody claims she offered to pay for the “free” work, but DigitrevX refused. He continued to be “rude” and “insulting,” Melody wrote, so she eventually cut ties. “I finally blocked him after he kept saying shitty things about me, and now he has resorted to trying to de-platform me, starting with twitch,” Melody wrote.
