"B-but the nazis-!!!" cry the pissbabies.

Hey guess what

The nazis also WROTE books. Books using every manipulative psychological trick there is to convince impressionable people to support racial genocide.

Those books belong in a fire.

"BUT HISTORICAL VALU-" no, seriously fuck you and your book fetish. An enormous number of books are garbage and go in the garbage with the other garbage.

See this book? This book literally kills children.

A civilized society would make it illegal to sell a book that has lead to the murder of little kids. Every copy would be seized and torched, and its authors in prison.

"BUT FWEEEEDOM OF SPEEEEEE-" eat shit. Eat a huge bowl of lukewarm shit and then think hard about how your stark black and white thinking makes you nothing but an ally of people who use the art of literature to spread abuse and hate.

The winner receives:

1x Coatl scroll, Skydancer scroll, Ridgeback scroll, Spiral scroll, Snapper scroll, and Pearlcatcher scroll (est. total value: 2,200,000+ treasure)

"What’s this?" Lovelace asked, peering closely at the unfamiliar crate on his desk. "Did a shipment come in today? Who left a box for me?"

HEY GUYS!!!

Iiiiii am in an absolutely stellar mood today! Also, at some point I hit over a hundred followers (yaaay i’m popular)! Plus on the way home from work I found a golden letter A on the ground which I am interpreting as a sign that I should share my joy.

"Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly restricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in their workplaces. In recent decades we’ve been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there’s strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they’ve realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those of school…. Most people assume that the basic design of today’s schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth. Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not research. …. Research has shown that people of all ages learn best when they are self-motivated, pursuing answers to questions that reflect their personal interests and achieving goals that they’ve set for themselves. Under such conditions, learning is usually joyful. The evidence for all of this is obvious to anyone who’s watched a child grow from infancy to school age. Through their own efforts, children figure out how to walk, run, jump, and climb. They learn from scratch their native language, and with that, they learn to assert their will, argue, amuse, annoy, befriend, charm, and ask questions. ….

Are you fucking kidding me? Apparently Neil Pattrick Harris is slated to play a transwoman in an upcoming Broadway play.

Art Corgi is a site for artists to organize their commissions and sell their commissions in a safe and friendly environment.

They seem to be really interested in taking care of the artists that use the website, making sure they get paid and don’t get screwed over by customers who don’t pay or try and take advantage to artists.

When it comes to the artist’s work in regards to copyright and liscensing: 

The copyright of all art you create and sell through ArtCorgi will remain with you. Your clients will be given a worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-commercial, perpetual license with the right to reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, and publicly display their commissions for personal purposes.

What this means is that while you can keep the ‘original piece’ all other rights regarding the piece are not solely yours any more. 

The client gets to sell your work, print it on any merch they would like, reprint it, make as many copies, alter it. 

This is not a benefit for the artist, this is a benefit for the client only. This is a bad ‘contract’.

For example: 

A client could commission you to do a drawing a bitchin’ mermaid. So you do and get paid some where between 75-300$. Sounds great right? Maybe that for you equals in at like 10$ or more an hour! …. 

but here’s the kicker after you’ve agreed to it… 

The client who paid you 300$ for that mermaid, can take that picture, and sense they now own the liscense for the work, and you agreed, they can now while they can’t sell the liscense ( thats what nontransferable means) They can place it on shirts and sell it, for 15$, which adds up! they can do this any where in the world, and they can do whatever they want with your work and never have to even mention you again, let alone pay you a proper price when used like that. 

THe clients do not have to state what their uses for the art is going to be, but to put this into perspective.

Art that would go apparel (so say, for redistrubtuion) regardless of royalities, Runs at between 1,800-6,000$ (according to Pricing and Ehtical Guidelines handbook) and that’s not even getting into royalities or reselling copies of the work.  Here, they can print it on a apparel ( the client ) sell, it, and only have to pay you around 75 - 300$ 

and thats all they have to pay you. 

Now, I get that there is a difference between people intending to use the work for just personal use/rp use whatever, and people wanting to make a profit from not paying the artist a decent wage. 

That said, Please do not use this site. I can’t stop you, but it is a very bad idea and could up causing you to cut yourself off from making more than what is essentially chump change.
