Not to be cranky on main, but can we maybe start crediting not only artists who draw and paint, but also all other artists, like gif makers and photographers as well?
The amount of stolen gifs and photos/videos with hundreds and hundreds of notes is infuriating.
Gifs don't just appear. Someone is sitting down for hours to choose a moment, to crop and clean it up, to make them look pretty. Only for people to download the gif and slap it somewhere without asking or crediting.
Same with photos and videos.. Just because someone posts something online it does not mean that everyone can just do whatever they want with it (and no, slapping some tiktok effect on a video does not mean it is your video now).
If you don't want to do this out of respect for the artists, then do it for other fans. Often I see a cool gif/video/photo and want more, want to check out the source and dive into their work. But i can't when people just say "lol found it on pinterest xoxo".
Please respect the people who work so hard to provide us with the good stuff, thank you.
i literally post gifs on tumblr dot edu out of the joy and love of my heart like its a buffet and everyone respectfully takes their plates and moves on. and then htwt people come stuff their bags with all my food and then also spit in my face
Fucking wild seeing my own fanart get recommended to me on Pinterest under “Ideas for you.” Like bro… that IS me what am I doin here why did this person upload my stuff without even asking me first
