First of all, I would like to apologize to those of you who are already aware of this problem (this comic is not meant for you). I know for a fact that a vast number of you have never taken part in this, and I am incredibly thankful to those of you who continue to support artists the right way. :"D 

Still, In the past few months I've seen my own art, my friends' art, my senpais' arts be edited and reposted to no end. I've witnessed art theft like no other, and the biggest problem in all of it is that people don't realize how bad this is: 

Reposting- the  problem with this is that the majority of people don't credit/don't credit properly. "Cr. to Artist" or "Cr. to Whoever" is NOT a proper way to credit someone, the LEAST you could do is offer a link. >:(  (p.s some artists allow sharing their art on certain websites but if you don't have permission just DON'T DO IT, we all have good reasons for this)

Editing- I've seen so much of this it makes me sick. Working 16+ hours on a drawing only to see it chopped up in pieces all over the web ruins my day. Same goes for people who decide they can edit art whenever they want. Unless someone gives you permission, HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THE 20 HOURS I SLAVED HUNCHED OVER A TABLET PLEASE. 

Art Theft- I can happily say that this has never happened to me. Nevertheless, I've seen much better artists who've been subject to having to defend their own work from those who claim its "theirs". This is STEALING and anyone who does this deserves to be trampled by rhinos. :) 

THERE. DOne. Rant Over. (p.s. please share this, I don't usually ask of my followers to reblog anything of mine, yet in this case I really hope it can shed some light on this whole issue)

You don't know how many people listen to Kpop at my school...we even have a kpop cover dance group at our school.. XD Xiuhan is growing popularity lately ^~^, they have always had close relationship its just more noticeable now. But Hunhan shippers are still faithful~

Are you by any chance from Cali? I’m from Texas and it’s not the best state for kpop (though we did have Vixx come to Dallas, which is like 6 hours away from me, and f(x) at SXSW which i missed because i didn’t start school in Austin yet at the time i also heard nothing about it til 4 hours prior). I wanna join omg that sounds awesome! I’ll forever remain faithful to Hunhan though since it was this ship that brought me into the fandom.
