#reposting problems

[lady-griffin]

I’m absolutely positive I’m not the only one who has a problem with this and that I’m probably late to the game in complaining about this.

But it frustrates me so much that with all the dumb stuff about Twitter and its renaming and rebranding to "X"; that retweeting is now called “reposting."

Because reposting already has a very specific and negative meaning to it; particularly in the online art world. I just...

It’s so stupid and needlessly harmful.

And I honestly don’t know if thinking this is a genuine and willful attempt to harm artists or online creators or maybe an attempt at creating more disinformation and confusion is giving Musk way too much credit or if it’s simply just ignorance combined with arrogance and impulsivity unintentionally causing harm that Musk and others simply didn’t think about.

Because why would they? When have they ever thought about the harm they might be doing in their entire lives?

I’m sure others who are smarter than I am or are simply more familiar with this kind of stuff can go into further detail about why this is a problem – but for me the problem is just blatant and beyond frustrating – especially because it didn’t have to be a problem in the first place.

In case it’s not clear yet, Do Not Repost My Art Anywhere. I’m doing this new thing where in Instagram and Instagram only, I will allow reposts of old posts. This is only for accounts who asked for my permission and tags my account to it (showing they know I exist and I can check it in my tag tab). If you see someone didn’t tag me in, that’s unauthorised repost. In Twitter and Tumblr, please reblog/retweet. 

Any other sites, no reposts allowed

Note that I never ask people to follow me anywhere, my twitter can get spammy and I don’t want anyone to think it’ll be art every hour. That’s why I try hard to keep my tumblr from having too many reblogs.

I need this to be taken seriously, if you feel that ereri has quieted down now, reposting fanworks will not help the fandom (especially, for more hardboiled reposters,

being rude to the artists

). Artists are here for fun, same as writers, or edit makers, if they’re not getting the feedback they need to go on, they will move on to another fandom, which is (let’s face it) more alive, less drama and more friendly to them

Don’t focus too much on people who moved on, they’re happy where they are the way they weren’t before. Support people around you right now and keep the interest going. ALSO new artists/writers/editmakers. SUPPORT. THEM. They will be the new wind of Ereri years later - If Ereri lives that long

Me: I think I'll look at some clintasha art on pinterest.

*Puts "Hawkeye Black widow fanart" into search bar*

* Finds almost all of her supernatural and clintasha drawings*

Me: Ok.... WAT?!?!

This is one of the reasons why reposting is such a problem. The first pic is someone I am acquainted with who reposted from this person in the second pic who gave no credit to r4hefk. Miss Lucy had no idea who the artist was and instead gave credit to this other person. I said something to both parties. Chances are that the person who reposted initially is doing it unintentionally, that's usually how it goes. But we know this is still problematic. We also know that Instagram is notorious for this kind of stuff, unfortunately. I'm posting this for awareness, not to cause a problem. If anyone wishes to say something, please do so politely. I am not asking you to either way. As stated before, this beautiful pic is by r4hefk.
