When someone reposts art with no credit attached, this is what happens. Yesterday my Toph painting was on the front page of Reddit with the only credit buried deep in the comments & my signature cropped out. Now its been set loose all across the internet with my name gone.
I've been on the internet a long time; I know that "this is just what happens". But I believe we can change this culture. I have pretty much the most lax rules: I allow credited reposts. Please, just make sure my name stays attached. Thats all I ask! Add my name in the title!
***I do not condone any sort of harrassment. Please politely ask for me to be credit without harrassment of any type. Please never send insults, death threats, or any other type of harrassment on my behalf.***
Ultimately what makes me so sad is that many of these people may have wanted to follow me and see more art if my name was attached. Let's make it a celebrated thing, culturally, to always credit artists! (Also, to respect the wishes of artists who dont want to be reposted at all)
Guys I am absolutely blown away. So much respect to the mods for their prompt action. This is going to help so many creators, especially small creators who dont have people looking out for them the way I do. Shoutout also to the Facebook group for their response.
Final note; I really posted this mainly because it felt like it might be a learning moment for some people who care about artists but may not have known. Fan creators help these communities thrive! Let's all support fan creators so we can keep getting awesome content!
