I don’t know how I missed this, but apparently Joey posted my edit on Instagram when Shane came out as bisexual. He cropped out my watermark, and clearly could have kept it because the picture was edited to fit on Instagram. Normally, I wouldn’t mind. But I spent lots of time and effort on this edit and the picture got over 170,000 likes. That’s more attention than ANY of my posts have ever gotten (obviously because he posted it, but still). I know it’s months after the fact but I’m quite upset and I really wish Joey had kept my watermark. Yes, I’m grateful that he appreciated my post enough to use it for Shane’s coming out. Yes, it’s a silly edit and most people wouldn’t consider it “art”. However it doesn’t make up for the fact that thousands of people saw my creation and none of them knew who made it.
