why is gif making becoming a lost art in fandom spaces
#seeing so many people fundamentally misunderstand what a gif is lately#they have no idea the effort that goes in to making good quality gifs either#people who think that a video clip is the same as a gif 🤡#mind you this is twitter fandom im talking about#and like i get that twitter isn't the platform for gif sharing (reason number 123432 why it's subpar as a fandom site)#but to think that making a gif is somehow 'stealing' someone's video footage is asinine#and that's not even broaching the subject of the legalities of fan recorded footage#(recording concert footage is thisclose to infringing your fave artists' copyright btw)#(like in all seriousness it is just as much of a legal gray area as all other fandom produced / transformative works)#(so if ur gonna try and have a go at gifmakers u should probably stop and think about the consequences that might have for ur own content)#anyway#i really shouldn't let a few uninformed people get to me like this#but the way one small part of my fave fandom has been acting the past 2 days is REALLY grating on me#i dont want to stop creating for a fandom just bc of the entitled attitudes of a few people#but i am not interested in dealing with this ****#also it absolutely does not support your faves to bash / drive out other creators in the fandom#fa;lksjdfalkjsdnf#rant over ig#im trying to be the bigger person and just not engage since it's all petty and indirect actions that dont require a response anyway#i like this fandom bc it's mostly chill and easygoing so I do NOT want to make waves or kill those vibes#and i have ALWAYS been supportive and appreciative of other creators#but now im feeling less interested in engaging with certain creators#so ig that's the course we take for now
