@gumicatkiller is a reposter thought you and everyone should know
yo this was drawn by pibmo, you should reblog it from them instead of reposting it without source!
yo i understand why you’ve uploaded these (i personally couldn’t find them on his tumblr) but it’s kinda rude to not link back to the artist!
Dog logic
100% reposted (funny it got more notes than the original, plus it looks like this person has since deleted their post but w/e)
original source is over here, the person does lots of great art & you should check em out
Gravity Falls + Wander Over Yonder = Controversy?
Hey the artist of this piece is on Tumblr here -> http://disleanne.tumblr.com/
In fact, you can just reblog the original here too -> http://disleanne.tumblr.com/post/93946638180/theres-no-denying-that-wander-and-mabel-would
It is really rude and disrespectful to the original artists of fanart like this to post their images again without crediting them for it and even ruder to repost it on the same site they originally posted it on. Please remove this image and reblog the original instead as that gives the artist the credit they deserve.
Artist: Unknown Homestuck
This cracks me up
Artist is http://chibigaia-art.tumblr.com/
Why would you repost the art considering it was posted on Tumblr? That is rude and disrespectful to the original artist. You should delete this post and reblog the original post here instead http://chibigaia-art.tumblr.com/post/68385996397/i-draw-stupid-things
in the tumblr tagging system, unsourced artwork is considered especially heinous. on this blogging platform, the users who source these felonies are part of an elite task force called the source your fucking artwork unit. these are their stories.
IMPORTANT POST: PLEASE READ
Can we please stop stealing people’s art without their consent?
Especially Japanese artists?
Because believe or not, when you take a dojinka’s art and post it somewhere else without permission, not only will you make them very sad (not to mention angry) when they find out, but you could cause them some serious legal problems as well.
I am not lying. Artists are in danger of losing everything they have if distribution of their parody work gets out of hand and the original publishing company gets wind of it (and decides to prosecute). Quite a few artists have already had their lives pretty much ruined because of the thoughtless actions of irresponsible western fans.
The reason why the dojinshi industry and sites like pixiv are even allowed to exist is because of the implicit understanding that artists who make parodies will control and limit the circulation of their digital artwork, and that printed dojinshi will only be made available to a limited audience. When you take an artist’s work and upload it somewhere else, you are taking away that control, and putting them at risk.
Re-posting art without the artist’s explicit permission is not okay. Adding a source does not get you off the hook either. Neither does not adding a source at all, or saying you don’t know the artist. You took something that wasn’t yours without permission, and that means you stole it. Reblogging and liking such posts only gives re-posters the incentive to steal even more art - making the situation worse for the artist. For the love of god, have the decency to respect the rights of other human beings.
Still not convinced? Then let me take an example of an artist I’m sure you’re all familiar with: emi (of the 10-RANKAI circle).
Thousands of western fans have constantly been stealing her art for years. As a result, not only she has changed her website url multiple times, but has now renamed her circle in an effort to shake off the so-called fans who keep going against her wishes and stealing her work.
Unfortunately, her new url has already been found, and her gallery has been plundered of its copyrighted content. And it seems that re-posters can’t read, because they clearly don’t heed what she says on her site; in FOUR DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, including plain English:
DO NOT UPLOAD MY FANWORKS TO OTHER WEBSITES, COPY AND REPRODUCE THEM, PUBLISH THEM IN FANZINES WITHOUT PERMISSION.
There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to disrespect the wishes of artists like her in this manner. If this continues, she will no doubt block foreign servers from accessing her site, or perhaps even stop sharing her work with others altogether. I’ve seen this happen to so many other artists who couldn’t take this abuse before.
But pixiv artists don’t say they don’t allow re-uploads on their profiles.
That’s because it’s already prohibited in the terms of use, and they don’t feel the need to repeat it. You can even find it on the help page:
This art theft has gotten so fucking bad, a flipping union has been formed to try and protect amateur artists’ rights. I shit you not (and by the way, emi happens to be a member).
But where will I get my fanart?
You’re free to browse artist’s galleries, save art to your hard drive, and enjoy them at your leisure. Just don’t upload the art. It’s not yours. You have no right.
But I wanna share awesome pixiv art with my friends.
Then link them to it without re-uploading the damn image. It’s not hard.
But I wanna share art on my online communities.
There are many wonderful artists with tumblr accounts. Look for them, enjoy their work, reblog from them. Your support will inspire them to create more, and encourage other artists to come in (I can’t tell you how many times a tumblr artist has said they won’t make art for the SN/NS fandom because there are too many unscrupulous art thieves in it).
Quite a few Japanese artists are here too (a popular Korean narusasu artist, um-mmma, gets their art re-posted here all the time, yet they actually have a tumblr). You could always learn to draw as well. You might turn out to be good at it. It’s fulfilling to make your own fanwork (and it’ll also help you appreciate the feelings of other creators). If you can’t, you can always just ask artists if you can share their stuff.
But I don’t know Japanese!
Most pixiv artists have a basic grasp of English. Keep your sentences simple and they can manage. You can always make use of Google translate, and you could also use these templates. It’s not hard, and artists really appreciate it. Why give them headaches when you can make their day?
I asked the artist and they refused/I got no reply.
If the artist hasn’t replied, then do not re-post. If they say no, do not re-post. Ever.
Can’t we be more creative as a fandom and not get by through stealing? Is that how we’re going to support our pairing? Through plagiarism? Are we gonna keep appreciating dreadful thief blogs like sasunaruyaoigirl? Are we that desperate to get notes? Are we gonna keep abusing these artist until pixiv blocks out all foreign access? Tbh, our pairing tags are a fucking eyesore, far worse than almost any other Naruto pairing I’ve ever seen. We’re better than this. It’s possible (not to mention easy) to run a fandom blog without snatching art from somebody else.
STILL NOT CONVINCED?
Educate yo’self with these materials (x) (x).
Good night!
This is not mine btw i just found this very cool pic of rocket and groot on the net
hi friend!! it's really great to source your stuff, especially when they have their own tumblr & you can just reblog images from there! thanks!
hi! sourcing is great! this is the source, and here's another tumblr post that has the source already. please source in the future, thank you!
I think I found this on smosh’s page…
hi! please source your images :) not only are they all sourced on smosh's page, but a quick google search also reveals their original source. linking in the future would be badass, thanks!
Man, this blog is horrible. You think you're doing something good but do you even realise how rude YOU are being by constantly beating people up for not sourcing? IT'S AN ACCIDENT. You need to stop picking out posts just to be mean to people for not linking the original artist. I know I personally would feel like crap if I was getting attacked like this. If people want it, they can reverse search it on Google, the same way you're doing. It really is not hard. You need to stop bullying people.
If someone makes a mistake, I either point it out nicely or I apologise and accept that they made a simple mistake. We all make mistakes.
However, presuming that every single person on this blog did not source by accident is ludicrous. I have nicely asked a large majority of the people called out on this blog, via private message, to source their art and have given them the correct source and everything and I am usually ignored or told to fuck off. Not always, but too often for me to not presume I'm going to get a bad reaction. So then I call them out rudely. I do sometimes forget to ask via private message first when I'm in a rush so I do make mistakes now and again but mostly I'm ignored when I ask nicely and now and again someone responds when I tell them off.
You automatically defend the people who are essentially stealing other people's artwork for their own amusement without even crediting them. There are thousands of people doing this and you think all of them just 'forgot' to put a source on? No. The majority don't give a shit because they don't know how fucking rude they are being or how long it takes to fucking draw these pictures. Some people make honest mistakes but most people are just lazy.
I know that if I were asked nicely to do something if I was doing things like editing art or not sourcing on the internet when I was younger I would have ignored the messages. But if someone had told me where to go, I would have been angry and probably would have felt like shit but at least I would never do it again.
I'm not going to be nice to people and get ignored. If you think I'm being a bully, fine. Maybe other people go about asking people to source in a better way and maybe I'm not persuasive enough. But I've gotten enough artwork sourced using this blog to presume that I'm doing a damn decent job too.
Pretty simple!
hey tumblr source the art you post. this is by boobookittyfuck
[[holy shit this is so cute i’m gonna die]]
Hey, maybe you got distracted by your imminent death but you didn't credit the artist! That is really rude and disrespectful. Here's the source, now add it please.

Now come on guys, repeat after me, weheart it is not a source. You know what is a source? The actual artist! Don't credit weheartit or even credit a tumblr page where the artist link is clearly given- directly credit the artist, okay? It's really rude not to.
