sorry man, i just looked that movie up on doestheantdie.com and...let's just watch something else, ok?

people think fanart is evil because they think borrowing and transforming work is a lesser form of art-making and “fan-made” works are therefore corrupting. obviously thats complete bullshit. fanart is inherently evil because it promotes media products

i don’t really care if there’s historical precedent for derivative work - of course there is, because all work is derivative. copyright is the source of the contradiction which upholds the myth that any media properties are “original”. it is important to understand then that, for example, dante’s divine comedy is not “bible fanfiction”, because there is no such thing as fan work without intellectual property. because copyright guarantees its owners with the power to monopolize a given work (to censor and destroy any “competition”), it follows that “fan work” necessarily describes the works that are legally unprotected and economically precarious (thereby making their authors legally unprotected and economically precarious). in this context, free PR for the ghouls that withhold your actual freedom to use any work as you see fit and to materially benefit from your creative interpretations is like including a nice big tip for your landlord with your rent. that is what i mean when i say that fanart is evil lol
