He was exposed for having 3 alts, and for making and spreading NSFW art of [[lime.owot]]. Placeholder has since expressed guilt over his past actions and continues to make art on and off, though he is still distrusted by much of the community. Notably, however, lime has largely forgiven him and acknowledges that he's become a better person. | ||
His worlds include [https://ourworldoftext.com/place_holdrr /place_holdrr], where he showcases his art and OCs, and [https://ourworldoftext.com/laserdude /laserdude], which also has a section for scripts. | |||

=== Gunpowder === | |||
Gunpowder was an alt that Placeholder used to interact with the community following the Laserlime drama. | |||
This account was primarily known for [https://ourworldoftext.com/CommunityProjects /CommunityProjects], which became [[World of the Day]] in June of 2025. The world worked by presenting users with a prompt and having them vote on a list of descriptors. After the conclusion of voting, Gunpowder/Placeholder would then make a drawing based off of the winning descriptors. | |||
So far the prompts have been "gun" and "sword," and users could vote on things like the gun's trigger type or the length of the sword's handle.<blockquote>''yeah gunpowder was just an experiment of mine'' | |||
''just wanted to see how owot would react if given options to vote'' | |||
''sort of like a democracy'' | |||
''didnt really see it done before so i did it'' | |||
''was really fun i might do it again sometime''</blockquote> | |||
