Stop being a fucking whiny girl and just post the ML Stuff. Your blackout is the most idiotic thing ever. Just throwing a tantrum won't stop people from reposting. They don't care about this, they will continue to not care about this. And we will not reblog from you because you won't post art for two weeks. Protesting and doing nothing or just whining about things won't change things. God, all of you are really stupid.
Woah, ok. First of all, RUDE.
Second. I don’t owe you anything Anon. You want a comic? You want ML art and LadyNoir fluff?
THEN TREAT ME WELL AND ASK NICELY.
Harassing me will only make me NOT want to post anything, blackout or not. I might even decide that I don’t wanna post anything ML related ever again (like many artists before me have). And it’d be your loss, not mine. I enjoy drawing and I can continue to do so without having to share my art publicly. I post when I want and I post what I want to post. I won’t churn out art just because you come whining to my inbox about it. If anything, I’d even risk it to say it is you who owe me.
Third. Everyone knows the blackout won’t stop reposters completely, and that’s okay. We’re not targeting reposters anyways. We’re targeting fans. Fans who are incredibly kind people and who will support content creators because they are smart enough to know that a community where content creators feel safe is a community that will live on despite hiatus or the show being canceled or whatever. We want to reach those who can gain awareness of the problem within the fandom, those who we are sure will care and who will start to help each other out when a reposter does his thing. People who will hopefully join the fight against reposting culture no matter the fandom they see it in.
Because yes, reposting is bad. But reposters thrive and are popular because there’s people who follow their pages and give them likes. (Most of times without those people knowing the pages they follow are not of an original artist). But thank you Anon, thanks to people like you going around we can start discussion. We can make example of rude people to teach others what not to do.
People will learn to see the difference between a page with original content and a reposter’s page… Between a kind person who makes an art request and a cowardly and entitled whiny dumbhat who hides on Anon because they are not getting what they want.
Those who like what we do, and want us to keep creating stuff for them to see will support the original creators, always.
After all… reposters can’t keep a fandom alive. That’s a job only content creators can do.
So thank you Whiny Anon, for giving me an opportunity to talk about my thoughts regarding these matters. I advise you to actually inform yourself about what the blackout really is about before you go and embarrass yourself any further.
