I'm curious. I know it's common for a lot of people to join servers and just lurk or join and immediately perma-mute BUT

We say people are lesbians, because they're "from Lesbos". You know, the women-loving-women island.

Why is that what people think of when they think of Lesbos? Oh, because one woman was so gay that we're still feeling it two and a half millennia later.

It is terrible etiquette and a disgrace to just copy, steal, and post these as their own rather than simply reblogging and giving me credit.

People are unaware but it takes tremendous time and effort to create these gifs especially coloring them.

Furthermore, I do all of this for free and in my spare time so it is extremely disappointing when someone else takes credit for the work I've done.

I privately DM'd this blog to take down their posts but they blocked me instead of apologizing and doing the right thing.

This has not been the first time my gifs have been stolen without my permission. It is extremely frustrating as a creator to see this happening again.

If this keeps occurring, I may put a watermark on my gifs or just stop making gifs altogether. Clearly I don't like either choice but I may have to resort to those options if blogs like this keep stealing my work and others
