25. Fanart and fanfiction is a complicated thing. I think it's silly to jump in making arguments like fanartist "legally owning" something, because fandom is the biggest legal gray area on the planet. Of course, they are the creator, and in that sense "own" the picture, but if you try to bring in legalese like some people here did, then it gets needlessly complicated.

What I think should be done, if you really want to make a fanart icon but for some reason can't get a hold of the artist, is to give credit. "X made this, Y is their website. If you do not want me to use this icon, please tell me and I'll take it down." Yes, I know this comment will probably be attacked for "omgggg how are they supposed to knoooooow" and whatnot. But it's a matter of courtesy. Just showing that you mean no harm and are willing to pull the icon down can get you a long way. Even if the fanartist never finds out about you, it's just common courtesy to credit the original source. Honestly, "I FOUND THIS SOMEWHERE LOL" is so yesterday.

48. Oh please. Fantardic assumptions like "seme" and "uke" make me want to cry. Character B liking it in the ass from Character A does not make Character A strong, cool, better or in-control of the relationship. Likewise, Character B is not weaker, helpless, crying and blushing because of this. A gentle, kind character or cute/femme looks don't make someone a bottom in bed, either. I wish people would get this idiotic assumption out of their heads that gentleness is weak and people who like it up the ass are weak. It gets so tiring to hear "OMG X IS SUCH A CUTE UKE" or "OMG HOW CAN YOU WRITE Y TOPPING THAT'S SO SICK HE'S AN UKE".
