It's not jealousy -- it's the fact that it IS hypocritical. You're taking someone's intellectual property and, without contacting them, using it in a way that they haven't authorized.

How then can you be upset if someone takes your art and uses it in a way that you haven't authorized? Say, by reposting it somewhere without giving credit.

I don't think fan artists have a leg to stand on when it comes to that complaint, particularly if they are making money off that work.

"My point is, this mentality is stupid. People don't want credit for the original canon that fanart comes from. They just want credit for their actual work and the skills they've built up to create that work."

I agree with this.

To say that it is hypocritical, is like saying that creating any and all fanart in of itself is hypocritical. I'm pretty sure mangaka, companies and corporations don't consider likes and reblogs on tumblr as stealing their work. Likes and reblogs may lead to things like commission, but it is a far cry to say that they should be treated like legal currency. Their value is mostly providing gratification toward the artist and possible exposure to people who may request commissions.

I'm not sure exactly why some people like the Japanese will delete their websites altogether when uncredited stealing occurs, but it seems as though it is treated as original work even if the characters themselves are not original. You could also think of it like a cartoonist writing a satirical comic for a newspaper. They are borrowing the likeness of something else, maybe even something meant to resemble a trademark character, like say Mickey Mouse. They even get paid to do this.

That isn't necessarily true for fanartists though. It's a little unfair to assume that every popular fanartist is making money off of their fanart. Most do not. The main issue aside from things like commissions and exposure, is receiving credit. By saying it is hypocritical it is like saying that fanartists have no right to claim credit for the art they produce because it is of someone else's character, which doesn't quite make sense.

Try looking up the difference between "derivative work" and "rights of distribution."

Because they're two very separate things.
