Deleting my blog?
Today was just too much. I never submitted any edit or art I made and yet it somehow ended up in Dan’s latest video. Sure some people may think ‘Hey its still in the video be happy’ but honestly it just feels like stolen art, not to mention my tumblr isn’t mentioned in the description only prooving my point I never submitted anything nor approved of it being in a video. I enjoyed making edits, spending hours on some only to see my edit carelessly uploaded via other tumblrs and Facebook pages. I even added my ‘logo’ of PWFH and yet still they get stolen. All I’m asking is to not repost peoples art or claim it as your own because it hurts the creator, it hurts the artist, it hurts. Maybe I just sound bitter but the truth is I’m extremely depressed and suicidal and knowing that a simple edit I made can’t even be credited to my name, that if I were to stop existing it wouldn’t change anything because no one even cares who created it just who claimed to of created it. I can’t blame @danisnotonfire for anything because he simply just chose whatever edits thought would suit his video best but just be mindful of the sources you are submitted so you can rightfully credit the artists/creators. I will try and end this as positive as possible by saying thankyou to all the lovely people on here and I’m truly sorry for anyone else who’s fallen victim to having art or an edit or anything stole and I can only hope you find justice and get the credit and recognition you deserve, peace out ✌
I was really hoping people would take the “please make it your own” seriously, but there will always be content theft. It happens every single day to me - it happened with The Urge video to me so I know 100% how you feel.
I sound like a broken record but soon when I have more time I am going to make a video summarizing my thoughts on art theft and how to deal with it.
Please try to stay positive!! Don’t let the thieves win by stopping your creativity!
Art theft is a serious problem, both in the online community and real life. If anyone has ever seen the movie ‘Big Eyes’ you can understand how it can ruin someone’s lives and leave them but a broken shell of a person. At school I’ve had people force me to draw pictures then claim them as their own and get a higher score then my own art did but I’ve always been too afraid to say anything, please speak up if your art is stolen because its YOUR ART not theirs and you deserve all the credit. Thank you for all the support @incaseyouart and everyone else it really means a lot that I have a community of lovely people to support me 💚
