#to DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM MAKING THE FREE FANART AND FANCONTENT WE ARE DESPERATE FOR???

[incensuous]

im gonna have a fucking stroke im so tired of people just reposting other people’s art and/or fics as if this is ok???? even the naive ones who repost and then “credit” the artist

it doesn’t mean shit if the artist themselves has said “REPOSTING PROHIBITED” and you’re reuploading their work without permission

even if you’re not claiming it as yours, it’s stealing if you didn’t ask for permission???? the BIGGEST offenders are the idiots who learned to use pixiv just enough to search for fanart of their ships and then they repost it elsewhere. why???? why are you doing that??? don’t you want to support these amazing artists? don’t you want them to feel encouraged and loved?? imagine how you’d feel if you spent hours working on something, wanting to share it, thinking people would interact with your hard work respectfully... and then someone who doesnt speak your language decides “well i’ll just ignore the rules they posted clearly on their profile” and then posts it without your consent or knowledge to a diff website?????? imagine someone just *right click* *saves image* *types tumblr dot com* *uploads image* to try and get some fucking attention off the hours you put in for that piece
