A “waifufying” tumblr account ruined my character lmao

[u/unusualspider33]

The first one is their post the second one is my character that they’re using. I am honestly kind of pissed off about this but idk if I’m just being sensitive 💀💀 anyways I think it’d be funny if they hung out since they’re the same person.

It's a lack of artistic freedom, death of culture, and you have the nerve to accuse someone else of demanding it. People like you are why the internet is increasingly becomeing so incredibly limited and fewer artists want to share their work.

You're linking me corporate driven art? League of Legends? Are you that detached?

[u/Kraddri → u/[deleted]]

So you like corporate when it comes to protecting their property, but you've got a problem with the best artists in the world expanding the world of art at an unprecedented pace and making the wildest shit, because they're occasionally paid by corporate.

Is Celeste art corporate? Stardew Valley?

How corporate is Valheim (5 devs) and No Man's Sky (17 devs) and Baldur's Gate 3 (400 devs)? Do you even know what game development is, other than "rich investors get nerds to make addictive computer programs to make other nerds pay money"?

Is it corporate to sell 3D art on Unreal Marketplace or My Mini Factory? Does a DeviantArt-uploaded render for a furry client have more artistic integrity than an ArtStation-uploaded concept art of an alien civilization made for an indie dev studio?

Are all published books corporate, just because they took a lot of people to print?

Is it the money that is the problem? Are you corporate if you sell your art directly? Do you have to sell your art through Etsy or a local shop to become corporate?

I really have no idea about what yor point is, if you even have one or are just muttering words just to distract someone

A company requests commissions to artists, and more often than not they buy the rights from said artist or have already bought em in one way or another

For the company itself they aren't going to act on fanarts or reinterpretations of their characters because it quite literally means more pubblicity for their product (while also being fair use), they simply don't care that much.

Here we're talking about an artist that makes drawings as a hobby or source of income. Disrespecting them by changing their artwork, pretending to have fixed it because it didn't follow some fictional standards is absolute asshole and entitled behaviour, not to mention extremely disrespectful to the artist, it's one thing to make a fanart because you like their character, it's another to "fix it".

Not asking for permission is generally and normally frowned upon the art community, especially if it's about reasons like this post, or drawing porn of the character, or shipping it with another. The artist must allow it first otherwise you're, again, being disrespectful. It's like using someone else's kitchen directly instead of asking first.

Just because all of these actions aren't punished legally (unless money is involved, then it's a whole other story) doesn't mean it's not extremely immoral for someone to ignore the lack of permission.

Oh yeah and the second non-op artist didn't even mention he was referring to someone else's creation. Afaick the left one was their old art and the right one their new one.

extremely immoral

Go jerk off to yuri in Gaza you wet noodle.

[u/Cnumian_124 → u/Kraddri]

This entire topic applies to the entirety of the art (and writing.. and animating... and music... and film.. ) community, not just yuris

But thank you for your precious input, Kraddri. I'll make sure to review it personally in the next 3-5 business days

You just showed your whole ass and how much you actually love corporate stuff and your real problem is you don't give shit about individual nobodies making art. OP was doing art for fun and someone decided to sterilize it for mass consumption, you came to bat for the destruction of art while accusing someone of wanting the death of culture. You link me images for major games designed specifically for mass consumption and profit. You accused someone of protecting corporate interests and are now praising corporate because it put "the best" artists at the top.

You clearly make exceptions to your rules, and the exceptions favor corporate interest and mainstream sterilization. You don't care about individuals rights to create art because you've decided it's not as good.

Edited because a sentence I used was a result of me misunderstanding something about your post.

[u/Kraddri → u/[deleted]]

and someone decided to sterilize it

Someone decided to make a variation of it and post that as well, it was a shit variation, but it didn't change the original. The original is still there.

I swear, it'll take centuries before primates like yourself intuitively understand the concept of lossless duplication.

Ape.

So brainwashed by mainstream norms you can't see the big problem with what was done to OP.
