Okay, yes, my response to that secret was pretty bitchy, I'll give you that. I'm just sick of seeing it CONSTANTLY. It's one of those things that there will always be wank about. Plus I kinda know the person who made those icons in the first place, so yes, I am biased.
I do agree that crediting is nice - but not everyone will do it, and sometimes, in all honesty, I dont' remember where I got the fanart. A lot of the fanart I have on my computer is sent to me by friends, found on 4chan, or I just lost the link to the site.
Some will say I shouldn't use that fanart at all. Some will say just stick a simple "didn't make the art" disclaimer. And then there will be the people who get all nazi about it because OMG TEH ART IS NOT YOURS YOU ARE DEFILING THE JAPANESE NAME BLAH BLAH.
Plus Abyss fandom is already wanky because we had someone waltz into our fandom and pretty much tell us that we're hurting doujinshi artists by using their art and DOUJIN SCANS ARE BAD and blah blah. It's a touchy subject. I do, in a WAY, agree with what 8 said, and I do wish people would credit more, but I understand that it's not always going to happen, and in the end it's just the internet.
Argh, sorry for the ramble. (and reposted because I made a metric fuckton of typos. GO ME.)
