@youstoprightnow-blog
Hi. Thanks for running this blog. SNK is a massive fandom with a lot of fanart. Is it possible that other massive fandoms like DRRR, will have fanart posted without permission?
I think it happen in every fandom on tumblr, tbh. (I'm not in DRRR! fandom so I don't know how often it happen)
Hello, I do understand that you have a duty to warn these people to stop posting these original artists' work. However, like the previous anon said that your making humanity-sexist look really bad. Congratulation.
I think she's the one who's making herself look bad by the way she replied to my first post.
You should congratulate her instead.
Farewell
Dear all:
I guess my blog won’t stay long, and so will I. And this will probably be my last message to all of you, since I think it’s just too bad for me to leave without saying any word. Well I’m not gonna argue whether I’m right or wrong anymore, since people out there could just say whatever they like. I have only one mouth and it’s impossible for me to make even a whisper out of these noises. Anyway just let me say a last thank you to of you who have ever followed me, talked to me and become friends with me (though I swear many people will regret doing so after knowing that I’m such a horrible person), especially those who have persisted following me and sent me supportive messages after all these shits have happened. But I’m so sorry that I really couldn’t reply all of your messages. Yeah you know what I mean.. And in fact I’m really surprised that I still have so many supporters despite after knowing that I’m such a horrible person:
I love you all and I just can’t express enough gratitude to everyone of you. Originally I could post stuffs and talk to all of you just like everyday before. But shits happened in life. Just because of this person, tenki, yes I swear she’s the person who created that new blog and that post (she has previously sent me a message and told me that she’s going to create a list for me). Yes, ONLY for me. When I asked her why she wouldn’t make one for others as well, she just didn’t answer that. Nah of course she loves me so much. Maybe I’ve owed her a huge debt in my previous life? It’s just so pathetic seeing someone who doesn’t have the gut to make that post in her own blog. Why afraid of letting others know if you think that you’re doing it right? Anyway I think I should be satisfied with all I’ve got so far. It’s actually my biggest wish to have a blog of my own, to gain a bunch of followers, and then become famous (though I’m famous for such a fucking reason right now lol) Now I’ve fulfilled all of them within 3 months, and it’s actually my biggest achievement in my whole life. And I guess not everyone will have the chance to come across so many shits in such a short period of time lol And I’m so glad to be the one who could have these fruitful experiences in my life. But everything will end eventually, right? If my blog doesn’t end now, it’ll finally end one day, maybe by some other pathetic cowards. It’s just a matter of time. I just felt that it’s like a curse which has been following me since the day I joined tumblr. Some people out there just wanted me to step down and they’ve finally succeeded. Now I guess they are laughing happily in front of the screen because they’ve made someone feel like shits. This is fate. If god wants me to die, there’s no escape for me. Anyway I still didn’t regret joining tumblr. It’s the best place (as well as the most horrible place though) that I’ve been to in my life. It also taught me some important lessons in life, I guess? For instance, being famous is not that great as all of us have expected? Don’t be so greedy and in crave of fame so much? Don’t be dominated by fame since it will really make you fall to the bottom of the valley? Or even to hell? But I’ve just fallen into these traps exactly. Such fail lol Nevertheless I still had so many happy times here. I would have been so lonely without all of you. It was always enjoyable for me to talk and rp with you guys here and I’m truly happy, really. I’m also really happy that so many of you love my blog as well. But I’m so sorry to disappoint you that I won’t be able to run it anymore. Yes I’ve killed my blog with my own hands because of my stubbornness and immaturity. Nah I’ve already said that I’m a hopeless horrible person and I deserve it. Again, this is my fate. Alright I guess I’ve said enough? I don’t want to bore all of you to sleep even through my last message. Lastly thank you again. I will miss, and will never forget all of you.
Farewell guys.
Sincerely,
눈_눈

If you had actually bothered to listen to people, taken down the posts when asked, and stopped reposting art from artists who have explicitly stated that they don’t want their artworks to be redistributed, then this wouldn’t have happened in the first place. I, myself, have sent you multiple messages in the past telling you to stop, and I’m sure there were plenty other besides tenki and I.
Furthermore, you are not the only person to have ever been messaged to take stuff down; every time I see art that shouldn’t be distributed come on my dashboard, I try to message the original poster when possible. 9 times out of 10, they listen, do it, apologize, and learn from it. They stop reposting. I myself am also guilty of having done this in the past with certain translations of mine but you know what? I’ve owned up to my mistake. I’ve taken stuff down, made announcements, and messaged other people to stop as well. Most of the time they listen. Some of them just ignore me.
However, out of all of the people I have ever messaged, you are the only one to have shown such blatant disrespect for others that it’s only reasonable to expect such disrespect to be aimed at you. I find it utterly ridiculous that you are acting so victimized when you are the one in the wrong here. You’re not even sorry for doing what you did; you’re just sorry for having been called out publicly.
I don’t enjoy calling people out nor seeing them be called out by others for their wrong doings, but given your attitude, this was needed. People like you, who ignore the expressed wishes of artists, are the reason why there’s so much animosity towards non-Japanese fans and the reason Pixiv had been (and perhaps still is) considering closing off access to certain regions and countries outside Japan.
TL;DR: Get over yourself, and good riddance. On the off-chance you ever do come back, I hope you’ll have learned from this and keep it in mind.
I know you have good intentions and that you're right about how bloggers shouldn't take artist's work without permission but continuously pointing these things out about humanitys-sexiest isn't going to change the fact that it isn't only her causing the problem. It has forced her to delete her blog which she obviously loves very much and I think it would be better of you to convince her to change her ways instead of exposing her as if she was the worst person on the internet.
I think it would be better of you to convince her to change her ways instead of exposing her as if she was the worst person on the internet.
Do you think people have not been sending her messages about this before? If you read other people who reblogged from that Farewell post, you’ll see there are other people who keep reminding her but she ignored them. What makes you think she can be convinced to stop doing what she did if she can’t even entertain simple requests like to check the artist’ profile, take down those post when being reminded to and basically, stop posting from artists who explicitly say do not repost their works?
(and wow she did have guts to randomly say who is this blog owner without proof)
so now humanitys-sexiest is leaving can we try stop helychan from doing the same as she did? distributing art and childishly claiming they are doing the artist a favour.
I've visited her blog and from the messages that she answered, she did say she'll be careful. Hopefully she'll stick to her words, even though her view of 'doing an artist a favor' is disturbing, considering that she's an artists herself.
I have a suggestion for sourcing posts! Make sure to add a link in the source box as well as the description. (This way people can still find the source if someone decides to remove the caption.) Another idea is to blockquote the source. I personally prefer to reblog posts without 'tumblr user: -source-, since my blog is mainly images and no text, so a small source is great. :) Hope this helps anyone.
Thank you for your suggestion :)
^just in case someone didn't know where to find the box
I was wondering if you had any ways that could help people translate? I mean, sometimes Google Translate is okay, like sometimes it's 'Maipiku something something no unauthorised redistribution' but other times it's 'i do not recruit maipiku' and I'm struggling to understand what that means. :/
If I understand correctly, Maipiku refers to My Pixiv, which is like friends list? (do correct me if I’m wrong). Sometimes artist only accept it from people they know.
For artwork look at the artists’ profile, if they include something like 無断転載 (unauthorized reproduction), I think it’s better not to post but you can still try to ask (read here on how to ask)
" Again, good intentions, but futile in the long run." I'm laughing because I used to repost art without source/edit/reuse them until I found blog like yours and realized it was horribly disrespectful to the artist. So, thank you for your blog. You're great. Also laughing at humanitys-sexiest response. "how do you know the artists true wishes? I'm fullfilling their actual desires!" if their desire is stated on their profile as: DO NOT REPOST... that's it. DON'T. How selfish one has to be... wow.
I think that you're just trying to play the white knight. Intellectual property is a grey area, especially here on Tumblr. If you really care about artists' rights, then what about manga scans? Anime screen caps? Movie screen caps? Gifs? Tumblr is essentially one big melting pot of copyright infringement. Instead of going against the poster, take it up with Tumblr and their posting policies. You're not helping anyone with all this drama.
I like how whenever we starts to tackle smaller things, others would think that it is invalid because the same thing still happen on a larger scale.
I like to think it's better than doing nothing.
To those who have been sending me supporting messages, words can't describe how I'm really thankful for them. Thank you so, so much!
I support this. If it helps, I found this post back a while ago so people can ask for the artist's permission in Japanese to post their art on Tumblr: raspomme {tumblr} com/post/53406250084
This is very helpful, anon! Thank you very much!
Helpful links from Raspomme tumblr:
How to ask Pixiv artists’ permission (Japanese)
How to ask Pixiv artists’ permission (Chinese and Korean)
How to reply if they refuse your request
One of the common thing that the hatemail that I received or from the reblogs that I've seen is that humanitys-sexiest sourced the arts (albeit in a sneaky way) so it should be okay.
No, the artists have explicitly said that if you don't have their permission, you can't post them anywhere. You can put all the links available as the source but if the artists themselves said that you CAN'T POST THEM, then you just can't. What makes you think that other people should have more authority than the artists themselves on what they should do with their own works?
Why is this hard to understand.
To the anon who said this was futile in the long run: It is the little things people do that help build a better future where people won't do things like these. If no one did anything to just voice out their opinions and tell them what they did wrong, they would still think that what they're doing is right. If this can change the mindset of someone, they might try to change their friends' mindset, and that is how a voice can help bring changes to the world. It is not futile.
日本のアーティストを支援していただきありがとうございます。その素敵な我々はすべて同じである知っている。
I apologize for not replying in Japanese because I barely understand the language but thank you very much for your message. I'll do whatever I can to help, along with many other people here :)
When reading that post they replied, I thought where the hell is the source. I have seen lots and lots of posts from that blog in my dash even when I'm not following them and I have never been able to find the link for the source. And guess what? I found out it's the emoticon's mouth after I open the post from my phone. They said to promote the artist's art? Haha! What a laugh.
Her way of sourcing art is a little.. confusing? Usually I've seen people post link to the artwork page along with the name of the artist on their post which I think is better since you'll know who drew them.
Yes, in a perfect world everyone will respect each other's wishes and everything will be peachy. However, because it is the internet and you are only telling them that they are doing wrong through a piece of glass, some wires and plastic keys, it doesn't mean that they'll /listen to you/. This is an everyday occurrence for people who post their art. They take the risk of posting it online, knowing in some way shape or form it will be reposted. Again, good intentions, but futile in the long run.
Better than nothing. Just because it happened before and will happened, doesn't mean that other people should let it slide when they know that it is wrong. I don't understand that mentality.
If it only made a little difference, it's still better than nothing. Maybe other people would know what'll happen if they still repost without permission. Pixiv artist deletes their work or worst, pixiv will closed their site for non-Japanese IP (which people have been suggested before)
This is for the Rivaille tumblr humanitys-sexiest
You have been continuously posting from pixiv artists that doesn’t allow their works to be posted anywhere. Before you can say 'I didn't know about it!', people have been sending you messages to remind about artists whose work cannot be…
So you’re particularly aiming at me. It seems that I’m the ONLY person here doing this. What about the others? Why wouldn’t you make a list for them as well? And what about YOU. You purposely open a new account just for the sake of making this post. Why not using your original account? Why don’t you have the gut to show who you are, huh? Everyday I could also see a bunch of others posting works of pixiv artists who don’t allow them to be reposted. So they’re all right. And I’m the only one who’s wrong here. Moreover, there’s also a rule on pixiv saying that it’s not allowed to repost any works on pixiv. So that means ALL OF US WHO HAVE EVER POSTED STUFFS FROM PIXIV ARE WRONG AS WELL. So actually what you’ve all said are just shits and you should be saying these shits to all other snk blogs as well. But nah you only hate me so much so you need to create a stupid account and make this stupid post for me. I just need to thank you. Actually I don’t really see it as a big deal of reposting those artworks. I’m posting artworks because I think they’re beautiful. And those artists should be happy about it. I just really don’t understand the reason why they don’t allow their works to be reposted on other sites. If they’re afraid of others reposting their works, why they even posted them on pixiv in the first place. Once they’ve posted their works, they knew that their works would have the risk of being reposted to somewhere else. It’s just like me taking a naked photo of myself, upload it on a website and saying that “do not repost”. Does this really make sense? Anyway I just couldn’t think of a reason that I’m wrong to repost their arts. I’m just advertising their arts for FREE, and I’m not even using their arts for business purpose. I’m actually doing them a favor. Once I repost their arts, others could also have the chance of knowing their hard works and even rate and favorite their works on pixiv. I totally think that I’m doing this act for their own good. So you told me to considerate the artists. Actually do you really know their true wishes? Of course an artist’s biggest wish is to have his works being noticed by others. And now I’m just trying to satisfy their wish. To be honest which artist in this world gets upset if his works get noticed? The reason that they don’t want others to repost their works is because they’re afraid that their works will get stolen, reprinted and used for other business purpose. So as long as I’ve credited their works, it’s totally fine for me to repost their works. You think that I’ll stop posting or even quit here? Don’t be so fucking stupid. I WON’T STOP. You could just assume that I’m doing all of this for fame. But to be honest who the fuck else here don’t want to be a famous blogger? And I’m 100% sure that you’re jealous of my popularity here. I know I’ll get a lot of haters after this shit. But you’re just welcome to unfollow me. And if you really “respect” those artists so much, then just don’t reblog my stuffs. It’s all your freedom. And now, I repost arts not for fame anymore, since I’m already so fucking famous because of your post already. From now on I post stuffs for myself, my blog, as well as Rivaille. It’s my long time wish to have my own blog of something that I truly love. Yes I’m doing all of this for Rivaille, not for fame anymore.Yeah just take me as insane if you like. NO ONE COULD FUCKING STOP ME. Lastly, all I want to say is that this site is only for blogging and entertaining purposes, I just don’t wanna take any shits seriously. All I just wanna do is to drag a fucking picture inside that goddamn box, type the fucking source and upload it. That’s it. Life’s short. Why not take it easier?
Wow! Right now I don’t care if I’m going to get caught in the crossfire. I’ll delete again if I have to! But this is the single most childish response to a request I have ever seen. Let’s take this one part at a time, shall we?
First of all, of course there’re other bloggers who repost work from pixiv that shouldn’t. Obviously it’s not just you, and no one’s actually saying that. However, you have to admit that you’re pretty damn popular on Tumblr. Even when I don’t follow this blog,your posts are always on my dashboard. Even putting this blog on my block list doesn’t stop the posts showing up. I think the reason why people are trying to get you to understand, is that you can serve as an example. If others see that you take the time to ask for permission from artists, they’ll start doing it too, and posts like this won’t even be necessary! You have a huge presence on this site, and that’s why people are asking you first to change your behaviour. We just want you to use your powers for good.
Second of all, your view on reposting is absolutely terrible. I am actually completely and utterly horrified. Maybe it hasn’t been explained to you properly? So I’m going to try and explain this from my point of view, as a writer:
I post my work online so that I can get feedback, not for business opportunities. I don’t expect to get a job that way, and I don’t want anyone else trying to get me one by running around with my work. Many artists don’t make art for the sake of making money (and besides, there isn’t a lot of money there unless you’re insanely successful). You have to bleed to succeed, and it’s hard enough to get noticed when people take your work and put it somewhere else without a source. Okay, so you source the work; but what if someone specifically tells you not to? You’re not helping the artist. In fact, doing what you are doing is the same as taking that art and ripping it to shreds. If you don’t respect the creators wishes, you have absolutely no business in saying that you “appreciate their art”. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s beautiful. You should be mature enough to be able to restrain yourself from reposting artwork, even with a source.The artist is far more important the art in this case. Not everyone is flattered by reposts.
But I’m frankly shocked that you believe that you are doing these artists a favour by not listening to them. How can you insist that you know what’s good for them, when you haven’t even taken the time to talk to them? Have you asked them why they don’t want their work reposted? Have you taken the time to wonder why anyone wouldn’t want all this “great publicity”? I understand that it doesn’t make any sense to you, but you need to listen to these artists. Otherwise that art you love so much? They’ll stop making it. And then where will we be?
Look, I really want to like this blog as much as anyone else, and I’d love to give you another chance, but I think this is the last straw for me. I’m sorry, but I’m not sure that even this argument will convince you to stop. I just thought I’d try.
Oh, and no one can stop you? I’m sure if I (and others) will gladly report your violation to Tumblr if we have to. If you don’t stop and listen to everyone trying to help you, you’re going to get reported.
I am not trying to attack you. I’m trying to make sure that artists who can’t speak the language I’m currently typing in have a voice here, when they’re constantly being drowned out by people like you.
Tumblr Staff has e-mailed me and said that the ARTISTS THEMSELVES can only be the ones who can stop her. Violation must be sent to [email protected] . If those of you who can translate this to the original artists, tell them to take action. I believe that appropriate crediting and approval is needed in sharing people’s work. To blatantly NOT respect these ARTISTS are terrible.
Just because YOU aren’t the only one violating people’s terms and policy does not give YOU the right to do so.
Signal boost please
Stop right now: humanitys-sexiest, please check the artists' profile before posting
I received a reply from 十貴, one of the artists that don't want their art to be redistributed:
Should I send this to the tumblr violation email?
I've read that tumblr staff wants message from the artists themselves so maybe this can be used too, because I've put the artist link on the main post as well so they'll know it's the same person.
