does having my horse descriptions stolen by a big horse twitter account mean i’ve made it big …
sigh … i got them to take these two down at least, but i had to call each one out individually to them for them to do it and they said it was just an accident that they were extremely similar and that a conscious effort had been made to NOT make them similar…
i feel bad making like an actual “callout” since they took the posts down and said they felt bad but when i contacted them about it they only took one post down until i specifically asked them about another so they seemed to be trying to get away with what they could hoping i wouldnt find more...unsure
i'm not upset about the images because the purpose of the horseimagebarn (aside from funny descriptions) is to sort and archive horse images so people can find the exact kind of horse image they're looking for with ease...what bothers me (as i am not exactly "upset" as that's a bit intense, more just annoyed and disappointed) is the use of my descriptions
i surprisingly put a lot of effort into my posts so it sucks to see someone with one of the biggest horse image/meme accounts on twitter that i previously really enjoyed and looked up to all of a sudden start stealing my posts and even when they don’t, they use really similar tone and phrasing to mine which would be fine on its own but combined with the stealing it makes me feel very strange like someone is just trying to be me somewhere else and getting a lot more attention for it (attention is not why i do this, but it's just like an extra kick to the penis to see them have so much of it for my work!!)
i had originally kept the subject of this post anonymous but due to the amount of asks i receive on horseimagebarn about this and the continued similarity of the accounts posts i will say for clarity that it is @/horseimage on twitter, but DO NOT HARASS THEM or bother them at all, i do NOT want to be the one to start horse image community drama (dischorse as we have coined it), i deleted twitter a while ago and am choosing to just out of sight out of mind them and hope for the best
