It’s mostly because, once people feel free to use the art of an artist for cropping and fun stuff, many will eventually assume that they can feel free to trace or reuse the art for other projects. It’s uncomfortable for many reasons, and while some artists genuinely don’t mind and support their work being used for fun things, many don’t want their art spread around without their permission. For many reasons.

I don’t like my art being cropped and used without my permission because it feels very disrespectful to me. I make these big large images, I make comics where those expressions are context sensitive, and people feel that they can do whatever they want with it, even though that’s not how art works. It also makes me feel awful guilty when I’m seeing rp blogs cropping the art that people made as gifts to me or to show that they liked the stuff that I’m making, because they also weren’t given the chance to express their own permissions.
