#i’d only draw the line if they’re like slapping diaper captions on my work or something sketchy/inflammatory i don’t want associated

ngl the serial kiss art thief/reposter/tickle person is so baffling to me. I blocked them ages ago and when they started putting bathroom related captions. No clue if they ever got to my art but I don’t even think I could get that mad, I’m just too baffled by how detached from everything they seem to be. It’s so hard to tell if it’s a language barrier thing, major mental disabilities, some kind of bot thing, some combo of those things, or something out of left field. Some of their language is so immature and they sometimes almost come off as some kid on the internet unsupervised, but then they also use some decidedly dated internet terms/mannerisms (lulz).

They’re so widely disliked I don’t even care if they steal from me because I don’t think anyone’s even following them to find new kiss work and they’re just so transparently posting crap they found on google images (often VERY poorly screenshotted). I’m just so damn curious about WHAT their deal is because I haven’t seen people like that since deviantart.

edit: and I guess they might have some alt blog where they actually seem to have put out coherent sentences???? The links between them seem tenuous but if true, this raises more questions than answers. It was also one-word replies and XD and stuff on reddit/tumblr but there’s actual coherent responses on that account and vastly more self-awareness. I have a SIGNIFICANTLY lower opinion of them if that’s true, since it’s clear that they shouldn’t be so blinding stupid to dump uncredited art and blatant fetish captions everywhere… just wtf was that supposed to be some social experiment??

another edit: seems like it was just a dubious link between them sharing a pretty generic online name. So it’s back to a big ol’ ??? Unless there’s any harder links I’ll just say that deplatforming and playing “report for art theft” whack a mole with future alts seems like the only way to actually stop them.
