~controversial opinion~ time but does anybody else think it’s super hypocritical for people to say “credit to the artist” (without actually crediting the artist or linking their work) but then immediately follow it up with “don’t steal my icons”. like i hate to say it but you’re literally using someone’s artwork without permission and without any suggestion of who said artist is, and then claiming ownership over it. that’s stealing my guy

#and i'm not saying like you're a dick if you do that or a bad person #i just think... artists get done real dirty in the rpc #if you can credit every tiny tweak of a format and psd #you can credit the art and blood/sweat/tears that the artist put into it #instead of just 'credit to whoever made this:)' which is very uhm. unhelpful #like i don't think saying you should use all your art with permission is ever going to fly because people cba #reaching out to artists and finding out #but... at least credit openly and visibly #bc really if you're not using your own psd you're cropping someone else's art etc etc you've really done the bare minimum of work #and if someone bumps your icons they are not doing anything much worse than you are #but that is just my God Honest opinion #(& again it isn't a sign of decrepit morals - i just think people don't... show a lot of compassion to artists!!!!)#(and show a slight lack of self awareness!!)#AUTEUR. ███ 夜曲 ⋮ out of character.
