Artists beware!
When a few likes become more important than what’s right.
We started this initiative Sunday due to finding out former active MM fan artist Myetie had taken down all her MM art from her Instagram, deactivated their Tumblr and abandoned the past completely. Myetie was and is probably one of the most famous artists within the fandom (together with @r-e-i-i , @eori-namo and a couple of others).
Credit Myetie: https://www.instagram.com/myetarts/ It was tragic to see such efforts Myetie had gone to to protect their original art from theft. They created a new protected twitter and IG account to separate herself from what happened. I don’t intend to drag her or any of the others into it, but this is a callout post for one particular Facebook Fan page we’d like to call out for their offensive behavior towards artists and entitlement.
And here they are
This particular group continuously posts images from artists with no more than a CTTO as a general rule at best. They flat out ignore people telling them the artists doesn’t want their art reposted, and they call Artists PMing their crew to take down their art harassment. They literally wrote that artists should be thankful for them reposting their art and they are doing their best job. MM CAT has shared a ton of their reposts with credit since Sunday, and they do not put credits on still. We literally pointed out to them that R e i i and Eori Namo doesn’t want to get reposted, but still they continue to do so afterward. We also informed them of Myetie’s departure. Here are 2 of their mods opinion pieces on why they are the good guys and people who have their art stolen are harassers as well as sharing their reposts with full credit.
I want you to know that all 3 images used in their posts by artists had already been shared by our page with full credit previously. So we’re considering that they deliberately chose those images to mock our efforts for artists. As they have blocked us too.
So artists beware! - The CAT TEAM
THIS IS WHY MYSME FANDOM (and other fandoms) ARTISTS CHOSE TO LEAVE!!! STOP REPOSTING THE ARTIST’S WORK WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!! THEY DESERVE BETTER!!!
We agree with you and we’re doing our best to find a solution to the problem. Please read our previous reblog of this post as well as today’s update post to see more <3 - The CAT Team
