You're gaining attention, notes and followers off the back of someone else's hard work and your "effort" of using Google. That's pathetic.

It's NOT hard to find the original artist. You've been given three sites that do this with a 99% success rate, and if you weren't a lazy entitled idiot who's more interested in gaining kudos for your high and mighty self, you'd have sought them out. That's all people were asking of you. In the rare instances where you can't find the source, then it's precisely because of OTHER PEOPLE LIKE YOU doing the same fucking thing.

It's not on the artists you chase you down when you're the one in the wrong. How don't you see that fanart is automatically attributing the source by its very existence? That's the whole fucking point of it.

You ARE both a little bitch yourself for the way you're acting, and you ARE disrespecting fanartists.

Yeah AND SO IS THE FANARTIST. The fanartist is gaining attention, notes, and followers off the back of someone else's hard work too -- because do you REALLY believe that nearly as many people would be interested in the piece of art if it was an original work? NO. Because people deliberately seek out fanart because they're already invested in the characters.

So you know what, if someone takes your art and reposts it you don't have the right to get all pissy about it when you yourself are building yourself up based off of someone else's work. Do fanartists have the right to smack down plagarists and tell people to give the attribution? Yeah. Do they have the right to scream and get upset about it? No -- otherwise they shouldn't be making fanart in the first place.

And LOL -- you think it's fucking RARE not to be able to find a source? I have dozens and dozens of images sitting on my computer from 4chan archives along with Russian and Japanese imageboards that I can't find a single source to besides the random page google linked me to.

You say I'm lazy, and yet it would be easy for any fanartist to just drop me a message so that I can edit their name in and link it back to the original page. Instead of throwing a snit. Because they sure as hell don't care that they're manipulating someone else's work to promote themselves so it's a bit galling for them to get upset at someone doing it to them.

I am no more disrespecting fanartists than they are the original creators. If you find my stance so disrespectful, then maybe you should be targeting the fanartists themselves first.
