Did you read soem of eroborus' responses to Ask's about it? because he does explain quite nicely WHY it bothers him so much, and to me it's kind of understandable. If you did then I apologize for wasting your time, but if not I think it would be prudent to do so, just so you know for a fact that you truly feel he's being unreasonable.
I saw them and they don’t explain anything well. His reasons to why he doesn’t like edits are simply “It looks stupid and negative so I don’t like it”, and “They can’t draw themselves” which is completely irrelevant anyway.
People were not saying that he had no rights not to like his stuff being edited but that he reacted like a kid over absolutely nothing, instead of just simply ask the guy not to edit his art because he has no sense of humor.
I have no clue why artists tend to be that insecure over stupid stuff like that.
To top all of that, the guy told me “don’t take other peoples work and shit on it for laughs and giggles“ but here he is, drawing characters he doesn’t own for laughs and giggles. This just before saying “if you want to art or draw do it yourself" while I do happen to actually draw and all of my stuff has always been public, and that makes him sound like a big jackass.
I’m not the one who did the edit by the way, that was someone else
