For context the person in red (dark red is their sock account) was boasting about mass reporting the artist for art theft on their blog to get them banned from all the sites they’re posting art on so the “I’m not accusing you of art theft” is a lie and they’re trying to keep their trolling civil so it doesn’t get removed
If I’m sure I saw it somewhere else, I would also speak up, BUT I would provide evidence of that. And I would ask in a different way, because it might have been that the artist just uses a new account name.
Why? Because I fucking had it with those motherfucking attention whores on this motherfucking internet.
I’m not the artist, but why should I not bring attention to somebody just stealing stuff and posting it as their own? It’s great that artist post their art for free on the internet for us to enjoy, the least thing they should (and often sadly the only they do) get out of that is that their user name is attached to that.
Definitely, and thank you for doing that. I didn’t mean to say it’s weird to stand up for someone else, I’d do the same and I’d hope someone else would if my art was ever stolen. The important part here is bringing proof. The fact that they didn’t do that strongly suggests they either were careless and messed up or, as apparently seems more likely, intentionally throwing out false accusations on behalf of some third person, the reasons for which baffle me.
Oh for sure. Either they were jealous or can’t admit they made a mistake (and were unnecessarily antagonistic).
