#understanding plagiarism

[blerghie]

dudebros have orv wrong, it's not a solo leveling rival, it is a solo leveling lover! orv loves solo leveling, it loves level up with the gods, it loves regressor's instruction manual, it loves i'm the max level newbie!! it loves greek myths and korean history and psychology papers and chinese legends and ancient literature as much as it loves repetitive regression isekai cashgrabs!!! it loves the best AND the worst stories the world has to offer!!! it loves all the stupid trashy stories that are worth less than the bug under the soles of your shoes because even shitty stories can have meaning when it has a reader that loves it despite or even because of all its annoying shitty overused cliché repetitive tropes!! it owes its existence to those stories!!! that's the essence of orv, all stories are meant to be loved, if not by you then by someone!!!!

Thing I saw on AO3 the other day: Someone had posted someone else's fic on AO3 so that they could read it in the AO3 layout because, and I'm paraphrasing a bit, but this was the explanation, "I wanted to read it, but I can only read stuff on AO3's layout, so I stuck it here!"

Which, first of all, is plagiarism.

And second of all, it's still plagiarism even if you go "Lol, not mine, just really needed the formatting so I could read it."

And third of all, put it in a fucking draft and click preview if you need the AO3 formatting that much.

And fourth of all--fuck it, I'm saying it--maybe you should examine the problem that you can't read stories on the internet if they're not formatted to look like AO3 because that's like, a big problem. That's literally a literacy issue you should be concerned about. Especially as the phrasing made it sound like it was a recent thing.

me and the 4 other hazel (and frank) fans out there need to do Something. there's enough of us to plan an elaborate heist and steal the manuscript before it hits the shelves

Just so we're all clear:

Plagiarism is taking the exact work of someone else and passing it off as your own.

It is not seeing something you love and choosing to create your own thing partially inspired by it.

Yes there's a line but like. Seeing a show about something and writing your own project also about that thing isn't plagiarism as long as you didn't directly take anything from the inspiration.

it’s really beyond me how subposting is still a recurring event in this hellsite — but i’ll say it once again: if you don’t like what i write or what i do in my own blog, then kindly leave or block me. mutuals or not, i won’t care a shit. you don’t go subposting or spreading hate. that’s highly immature behavior befitting a child :)

i don’t know if it isn’t obvious already, but i spent lots and lots of time rethinking while writing my fics. most of the time it takes weeks or months. whether i’m basing it on a manhwa or not, i spent a lot of time thinking and writing it—for months even—so if you don’t even read it and just label it as if i just plagiarized it in one go… it actually makes me so upset

just… be peaceful pls. if you don’t like it, then block me. it’s so simple if you think about it like a mature adult. unless you’re incapable to. thank you

actually can’t with everyone accusing me of stealing art😭😭 it’s not mine, i claim zero credit, and if i knew the artist, i would credit. yes, pinterest is bad. no i don’t think it makes you a bad person for using it. never have i ever claimed someone else’s art as mine. i’m a literal artist. that is my irl major and career. i always credit artists when i can. but im making zero money off of this and once again, its not my content!! if its my art, i would ask for credit and put a copyright. but its not mine, its a png man. it’s just a png😭😭

Watching media as a writer and feeling deep feels and then being like, "I need to disect this like a science lab frog so I can build one myself..."

[evil-mcytblrconfessions]

this hgappened monthssss ago but im still kinda pissed about it ok so i wrote a fic about grain just grain others were mentioned but they weren't important and no where in my fic was there any shipping much less scarian (Im the no.1 scarian hater) but it was written after the first session of Secret life and so it like vaguely referenced it cause it followed grain through each of the seasons and after SL ended someone posted a fic "inspired" by my fic where it followed the same premise, same style, even copied down some sentences and paragraphs word for word exactly how I did

im still upset cause they added SL at the end of their fic, and added scarian into the fic and because of the ship their fic is more popular than mine!!!!!! I'm upset still!!!!!!!! so to author of said fic I'm hunting you down btw xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxo

A decade+ ago: "If it has even the slightest similarity to Pokémon I don't want it!"

Now: "Yeah I know this game straight up plagiarized designs and stole assets from Pokémon, but Pokémon ain't what it used to be and this game has guns in it, so who cares? Fuck the actual creativity that went into those Pokémon designs, the artists that made them are clearly just as bad as the company higher-ups!"

[vilsoo]

no because wtf is this trend of “popular”wattpad writers that migrate over here and are COMPLETLEY NEW to tumblr, thinking they can just get away with stealing from bigger tumblr fic writers???

[paleoleigh]

At this point idek WHAT'S going on with fandom stuff I'm just piecing things together through Tumblr and bsky posts but uh. Fuck that dude.

[willowser]

gaining all those new followers from plagiarizing poc and running them off tumblr you're a terrible person and i hope you rot

so this is another really heavy accusation that i take very seriously.

who is it that i've run off, exactly ?? if you are said person or know them personally, i would love to have the ability to speak to you/them one-on-one, like grown adults, so that we can clear the air or discuss whatever issue there seems to be.

i doubt that you'll respond legitimately but this has always been my stance on your issue with me, that has kept you coming back to, not only my main account but also my nsfw account, daily. sometimes multiple times a day. you've also never once given me any kind of definition on what it is exactly that i've "plagiarized" — which, again, leads me me to believe you're just choosing to be hateful for no reason ?? the ONLY reference that's been made in the last few weeks that this has been going on, is the love island bakugou concept, and if that's what you're still sticking by, then — again — i urge you to understand what plagiarism actually is.

i think ai art is fine ethically and like interesting in its own right AND i think sometimes it sucks and very rarely is it better than somrthing made by trained human artists.

for example, my girlfriend worked with chatGPT to generate a monologue for an audition and asked me what i thought and the only thing i could say is that it was vague and felt more like a speech than a monologue. It felt like someone took a hundred speeches from TV showd about human rights and feminism or something and not taking it anymore and empowerment and mashed them into something new, and like... if youre trying to be cast in a play you should generally go with a monologue that soujds like a playwright could have written it, and more importantly is a character with some sort of motivation and acting imperatives to dig into. The context of a monologue is arguably as important as the selected cut itself because it gives you the intention with which you should be playing the piece. If there is no context amd it is simply scotchtaped together from scraps of a million plays then what are you working with from a character perspective? How are you showcasing your ability to take a text and make it glow?

anyway. AI art is fine and also i dont think i would use it for pretty much anything in my professional life unless im going for uncanny valley on purpose

i do respect that my field contains the sort of people who just don't show up on google point-blank but then you look them up in BILL and they've published quite a lot, some of it fairly recent, and it's all catalogued there, google just fundamentally does not care enough to index that stuff and he obviously has zero internet presence outside of that

i mean it's also deeply annoying. but like. good to know there are still professions in the world where you can Not Exist In Public while still somehow having your name attached to digital records?? how

also i always find it reassuring knowing that most AI plagiarism machines won't even be able to fucking find any of our work to copy it
