Obey Me! artists, someone is reposting our work on Pinterest.
The past few days, I have been in contact with a reposter on Pinterest who uploads, without any credit, a huge amount of stolen artwork (+1000 pins), even from people that clearly have a NO REPOST policy.
It targets many fandoms, but especially ObeyMe!
I contacted them once to firmly (but politely) explain them I reported my stolen work, and why it was bad (even gave sources and explainations), and they called me “rude”.
The second time, I firmly messaged them again after finding out other stolen pins from me, and here was the answer :
Not only are they utterly rude, it is also possible they managed to shadowban an artist on Tumblr as a way to get revenge for having their pins reported.
I encourage every ObeyMe ! artists that do NOT want their art being reposted to contact me.
I will DM them the Pinterest account link, so that they can check if their work is being reposted and report their own stolen artwork.
THIS IS NOT A WITCH HUNT.
We strongly believe it might be a MINOR behind the Pinterest account.
REPORT your work, but please :
DO NOT INTERACT WITH THEM.
Again, some OM artists do NOT want to interact with a minor, giving the nature of their content. Plus, it would be pointless, giving the maturity of their answer.
Artists who are already aware of it and don’t need to be contacted :
@hideoutpastel
@otomeman
@kitsumahou
@muertasanta
@/Dagmell (Twitter)
Please help spread the word ! My hope is that an important number of reports will teach them that stealing artwork isn’t ok.
And again. NOT A WITCH HUNT.
