im taling about people replying to elon musk who are acting all high and mighty about crediting artists for fanart

[KH-Queen 15]

LOOOOOOOOL quid

[Novayon 192]

Memes are a bit of a greyer area than fanart

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Right.. but like, what kind of meme?

[Novayon 192]

Since there can be variations on memes etc

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Especially when you never know where the original came from

[ConnahDC 5]

but then you go their account and they either retweet memes that person didnt make, or hey post memes, they did not create

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Because either you stole someone’s art and edited it

For the sake of a meme

[Novayon 192]

However, some people do just steal content and post it on twitter

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Or.. you’re just posting the same templates thing like everyone else

[ConnahDC 5]

but im not talking about templates

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

And some art is apparently drawn to be used for the sake of meme apparently

I’ve seen artists put their tag in an image

So that if someone uses it, at least the tag is there

[Novayon 192]

Ah so like how sofloantonio always stole videos

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Lol that's pretty cool ngl

[ConnahDC 5]

but tbh, im gonna get backlash for this

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

You might but go on

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

[ConnahDC 5]

people can just reverse image search

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Connah im ending your career

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

People totally could
Will they? Nope

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

But jokes aside

It’s so easy to just credit a person

Like., literally just link it from where it’s from, include the name, etc

[ConnahDC 5]

sure, but the option is there

[ConnahDC 5]

if a piece of fanart is reposted with no credit, instead of getting angry just reverse image search it

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

And sometimes reverse search proves somewhat unfruitful

ESP if the art is old enough
