Hi, there!  

My name is Charles.  I hope you’re well!  I’m writing you because I noticed you reblogged a post that ringo23 wrote last night inferring that I repost others’ work without their permission. ringo23’s evidence is that I do not link my specific messages to the artist and that some of these artists already have Tumblr accounts.

I explained in my response that the accusation is false. Every piece I reprint on my blog is from an artist whose permission I’ve explicitly received (you can see an entire list of those I have permission for – they are those I follow on my Pixiv account, username TWWK).  I request permission from artists whose work I enjoy. Many do not respond and others say no; I do not reprint these artists’ work, nor the work or artists whom I haven’t contacted.

ringo23’s accusations are based on observation and circumstantial evidence. S/he has not presented proof, nor am I aware if ringo23 has contacted any artists, even those on Tumblr, to see if I’ve gained their permission. In short, ringo23 has irresponsibly accused me on Tumblr because I don’t meet his/her qualifications for how art should be reposted. ringo23’s actions were reckless and rash.

I hope you’ll consider deleting the post from your Tumblr so as not to spread the defamation further. I also suggest that you perhaps look through my blog and see my character – I would never lie about posting others’ art, and I think you may be able to tell that by viewing my posts. And if you don’t remove the post, thank you for considering anyway.  

Take care,

Charles

I will say that I HAVE posted lots of art without permission in the past, but have long since “come to the light” and deleted 99% of those posts (every once and while I’ll catch one that I missed and immediately deleted it).  And I understand your zeal for Pixiv artists, but you (and many others) go about policing the wrong way, and particularly when you do so with only circumstantial evidence.  

Please consider taking down your post.  If you want, do your research first and then repost if you find that I’m not being factual, but please, only once you’ve come to me again and given me more than just a few minutes to respond this time.  Thank you in advance for reevaluating this situation (and hopefully, the way you go about accusing others in your future policing).

Tagging some the folks that I plan on messaging - I can only send 10 asks per hour, and it takes 4 messages each time to get my full message across, so hopefully this tagging will notify you even before I get to ya:

Thank you, Anon! You’re tooooo nice. :D
