Ok, sorry to go on a rant here, I usually want to stay quiet, but I've had enough. I'm not trying to stir up drama and this is not targetted towards anyone in specifics.
What is with this fandom and stealing creators' hard work? I see animations and art reposted on YouTube, TikTok, Tumblr, DEVIANT ART AND PINTEREST.
This is just disgusting behaviour. I've never seen a fandom worse at giving credit to people's work.
Why is it that people's animations, that they spend hours on, get reposted by some rando, and said rando earns MORE than the original person? Why is it that we all just... allow that?
Like, this fandom is so tightly knitted, ok? I can recognise just about everyone from the Tumblr space and have seen people come and go. We're so tightly knitted that it'd be so easy to come together and actually hold these thieves accountable.
I'm tired of seeing people stealing shit, y'know? Reposting it without any credit.
These poor artists, 2D, 3D, whatever, get their shit stolen because this stupid fandom just condones rubbish.
Rubbish like the MCSM AI slop.
I watched this fandom LAUGH at AI slop that was posted onto TikTok and then regurgitated onto other platforms (Like Discord) ten times over. I thought that this fandom was about creativity, celebrating how we can all come together to make something cool.
But oh boy, we just HAVE to sacrifice our environment, jobs, hobbies and morals for our humour and entertainment. I hope you know that all of that MCSM AI slop was trained on my shit, by the way. Thanks for that.
We just HAVE to let these thieves run rampant doing whatever they want, reposting people's work they spent hours on, because ohhh it's a funny meme related to my favourite characters!! Who cares if this reposter stole it! Let's disregard the original person's hard work because I'm laughing!
Don't even get me started on how people copy other people's original works in this fandom.
Again, sorry for the rant, but I'm bloody pissed at this, and I'm tired of seeing it, and clearly no one else cares enough to speak up about it.
I'm lenient when it comes to people reposting my stuff, but it irritates me whenever I see someone else's work get reposted without their consent and knowledge.
We need to do better. I am only becoming colder towards this fandom the more this goes on. The MCSM AI slop surge nearly made me quit, and this is pushing me over the edge...
