Not even controversial but I don’t believe “art style theft” is real and I just wanna reiterate that today https://twitter.com/Sntmntlrestart/status/1291006298457137152

Your style is just an accumulation of influences that can never be emulated entirely by someone else. Nobody has your voice. Even if there are technical/executive similarities, your subject matter and content will never perfectly align.

And if someone is influenced by your work enough to actively take traits into their own work, that fucking rocks y’all. I cannot stress this enough.

Emulation is not tracing or theft, it’s just inspiration! And if someone is legit trying to ‘steal your voice’ pointedly, they’re not gonna be able do it as well as u. Kick their ass with your superior art and forget about them
