[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

This really, really depends on what circles you lurk in tumblr. My friends (irl, the ones who convinced me to get a tumblr) always credited properly, and the few people I followed did the same, so I thought like you did, but then I started hearing about all the stolen art in other places, and checked for myself, and, yup.

Tons and tons and tons of uncredited fanart and art. I've heard of authors - who only dared admit it anonymously for fear of even more rage sent their way - who had people willfully steal their art and even be credited to the wrong person, on purpose.

There are people who claim art that isn't theirs.

It happens, much, much more than you would think.

Failblog.org and others have a very handy source feature, but very few people use it, because the internet and the anonymity it provides opens the floodgates for the assholes.

Tumblr doesn't help at all by making impulsive posting so, so easy and so rewarding.
