A stray dog is sleeping...

People who know me are aware that I’ve never done a callout post before, and that I definitely prefer blocking, reporting (if necessary) or talking directly in chat with people who repost content, instead of calling them out publicly. But enough is enough.

There’s an Instagram account that’s reposting a lot of creations from the BSD fandom on Tumblr, and probably Twitter as well. Fanarts, wallpapers, screenshots of gifs, edits and even icons. I’ve never seen this level of reposting before. Their account has 3k+ followers - followers that probably don’t even know, or care, that it’s all reposted content without credits. I’m speechless, and really mad at the moment.

I rarely use IG, especially for fandom content, so I’m not very knowledgeable about how reporting works there - and I probably wouldn’t even have noticed without my friends on Discord informing me.

This is their IG account: 11.11.n.v.mb

This is not only very disrespectful to me (there are ENTIRE posts, gifs, edits and icons made by me on their account), but to content creators in general. Without content creators you wouldn’t even have content to repost. Fandoms wouldn’t be the same without them. You’re not doing them a favor by reposting their creations like this. You’re just spitting on their faces and stealing the things they worked hard on.

DON’T DO THIS, PLEASE. ASK FOR PERMISSION BEFORE REPOSTING, AND ALWAYS CREDIT AND SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS. For fanarts, but also for gifs/gfx/wallpapers/edits etc. We make and share content for the fandom, but that doesn’t mean that you own the content we make and that you can just repost it as your own. I have so much to say about this topic, but I’ll keep it at this, for now.

I’d suggest y’all to check that IG account, especially gfx creators and fanartists, to see if they reposted your works too - and report them.

Below (’read more’) are some examples of blatant reposts on their IG account.

but atsushi actually trains himself to not immediately say the bad first impression that flashes in his head and to only say good things 

#it strikes to me that atsushi /actively/ chooses to be a kind/good person for multiple reasons #(in spite of the headmaster & inspired by dazai and the ada) #and by being a good person atsushi also feels like he’s useful #(a feeling he wants to share with others i.e. kyouka) 

#and he recognizes the hard work that goes in and is therefore so adamant to have dazai know he thinks he’s a good person #maybe atsushi wants to validate dazai the same way dazai’s validated him #because it makes him happy and maybe it’ll make dazai happy as well #and we all know atsushi wants to make dazai happy @dazatsu-network

YEAH and like, when reading the manga you can SEE how sassy atsushi actually is but he rarely voices them out in an attempt to be nice, and i keep remembering the theory dazai and atsushi have about the headmaster purposefully raising atsushi to hate him so he has a “reason to live”
