Pardon me, what? What sort of logic even is that? At all?

The artist said not to reproduce it.

Fine, fuck, yeah. All fanarts are too small, let's just vector them all! Who cares that the artist had the line going this way, lets fix that. I don't like the background, lets fix that too! Oh, and fuck these colours.

What are you thinking? Fanartists have no fucking rights? Is that right?

Christ. I don't know why anyone even produces fanart these days when all people do is bitch that it's not big enough, it's not the ship they wanted, etc.

Draw your own goddamn art, and leave everyone else's alone, how about that?

I hate to get in the middle of um, a disagreement, and I'm not trying to take anyone's side, but I think they were trying to say that it's odd to download illegal fansubs of a show and then defend a fanartist's rights.


I mean I don't even know if you download subs, I know I don't, but I just figured that I'd point it out.

Yeah.

And I don't get the comparison, except that "but you download fansubs!" is like the new anime fandom godwin's law or something. Obviously, it implies, anyone who has ever downloaded a fansub has no right to any opinions.

Fansubs aren't somehow a sign of a horrible person. Fansubs are the reason companies pick those specific shows up in America - any idiot can see the comparison between heavily-subbed shows with a huge fan-following and how quickly something is brought over.

Downloading fansubs and refusing to watch the english-language version on tv or buy the dvds, perhaps, is unethical, but when the existence of fansubs ensures that the industry picks popular works, it seems an absurd comparison. Fansubs can be a brutalization of the original work, true - but that wasn't what was emphasized in that comment. Just that I was a horrible, horrible person for ever suggesting anything because it was assumed without any basis at all that I'd downloaded them.

The part I'm baffled by is that the assumption that I participated in something renders my comment completely null. Regardless of whether or not I did.


Fanartists make no money off of this. People don't just go taking fanfics and changing them. Icons are left alone, because someone would have to be a horrible person to go mutilating icons. Fanart, on the other hand, is for some strange reason completely fair game for everything under the sun.

It seems like a very strange contradiction that all other fandom works are universally respected.

Woah bro, don't q_q at me because you're so full of double standards.

Btw, I can't wait to get my hands on this art collection so I can have it scanned and uploaded to moe.imouto! :3

6/10

You really had me pretty good with that first one, but then you had to go and overdo it on the retort. =/ 100/10 for the first one, but come on, consistant trolling standards are too much to ask?

I am 110% srs about books that have Schneizel giving Kannon a foot massage.

Oh, nothing makes me angrier than when I go on photobucket or something and see fanarts that have been edited and ripped apart.

I was just trying to explain their part, but it looks like they turned out to be a horrible troll anyway, so I'll just get out of here.
