CAPTION: I didn’t know what to make Sasuke say, so comment below what it is!

I personally don't support this (tho i didn't hate comment or even let it known that i read it) but what are ur thoughts on it?

I can see that they “give credits to the authors” in the first ask you sent, but giving credits means absolutely nothing when they still steal other people’s fics.

so it is still blatant plagiarism and stealing, with or without the credits.

credits mean nothing when consent is not explicitly given. the authors being offline for years is not an excuse. if you create something, that thing is permanently yours. an author does not have to stay online forever in order to retain ownership of their own works.

so I’m sorry but the fact you say “it isn’t plagiarism ig” just because the person gives credit is wild to me. yes, it is. credits are only after you got a clear permission from the author and you credit them to both acknowledge and thank them for their consent. if you just copy and paste other people’s works, ✨change the characters’ names and then credit the authors✨, without the authors’ knowledge or consent, you are still a thief.

"I told them ahead of time that I'd hit them so it's okay that I hit them!" Really?

"I already sent them a death threat so it's not my fault I killed them!" Okay.

Once I found someone plagiarizing my Ao3 fic on Wattpad. Waiting for each update so they could plagiarize it as I went.

I permanently took down all my works from that fandom and stopped writing altogether for four years.

Stealing hurts people.

The point isn't "leave them a nice thank you note before you steal their shit". The point is DON'T STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT.

What's even the point? Does anyone REALLY need that brief butt pat from strangers for work they didn't produce? Anyone THAT desperate for validation needs to get off the internet and get help. And not come back until they've formed a personality and some integrity.

I tried to color from grayscale instead of hand-picking every shade.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
