In English from Yoimaru on Twitter.
As with this post, I want to keep posting these here on Tumblr so people can see them!!!! Because it’s really fucking important, folks! I know it’s a giant fandom and I know it’s messy and it’s difficult to keep track of all of this, but it matters a lot.
Even with credit, you are taking the attention away from the original creators.
Stop reposting art and please respect artists. They deserve credit and notes. Be decent fans!
It’s a lot more complicated than just stealing credit and notes from fanartists.
Japanese fanartists run the risk of getting sued by manga publishers if their fanart (especially nsfw art but it applied to everything) end up on too many websites. The more you spread fanart, the more likely it is that some jerk is going to take it and start making money off of it, and guess who gets sued over that? The artist. We’ve all seen shirts, mugs, mousepads, etc… with Japanese fanart on them (there are people right on Tumblr who make and sell that stuff). Some fanartists are also professional manga artists themselves and they run the risk of losing their jobs if it is discovered that they draw fanart and/or doujinshi.
This is why you need to ask permission. Artists need to know WHERE their art is, and they need to know that it’s possible to get it removed if need be (which means they need contact with those who posted it).
Every time you post fanart without permission, especially on a website like this where it’s impossible to control where it goes, you dramatically increase uncontrollable visibility for the artist. And guess what? Most fanartists don’t even care about visibility or notes or ratings outside of Pixiv and other websites they CHOOSE to post on. A lot of Japanese fanartists employ passwords on their personal sites, and regularly change URLs to minimize the number of Westerners finding them. I have had an artist friend of mine delete her website entirely because she felt too many Western fans had found it, and when she eventually put it up again, she had a password on it that you had to ASK her for (so clearly notoriety was not a concern for her, seeing as maybe 20 of us had access to her site for months).
Sure, some do want popularity and notes and all that jazz, but it’s not everyone by a long shot. It’s unfair to use the “you’re stealing notes” argument because in truth it’s more more complicated than that. Most jerks who repeatedly post without permission are concerned about followers and notes, but that’s really not how it works for a lot of Japanese fanartists. Art theft is RARELY an issue in Japan, even if people might be desperate for attention like a lot of art thieves here are, because they understand that there’s a lot more at stake here than just boosting your internet ego.

So as some ofyou guys know my dad died back in December. He had a 2007 Chevy Silverado that he LOVED, but since neither my mom nor I would drive it, she decided to let the bank come and sell it.
Today, she texts me around 3:00 pm with this:
we just got an extra $5,711.64 that neither of us expected.
Yeah, we’re surprised. lol
YA’LL SHOULD ALREADY KNOW BY NOW! This is a guaranteed post. Idk what it is, maybe it’s the energy and power of a collective hundred thousand people believing but it really works!

new bra from victoria secret! :)
A woman stands in her bedroom. She is with her attractive male lover. The air is filled with desire. They both look into each other’s eyes. The female, with a slightly bashful smile, takes off her clothes, starting with the pants first, and finally the shirt. She is wearing the bra. The man’s eyes opened wider in interest. His interest is peaked. The woman strutted closer to him, her eyes batting and her smile growing. She leans into his ear and with a breathy voice, she spoke:
“Lettuce fuck.”I graduate in three days, I pay my own bills, I have a car, and I’m reading fanfiction about a lettuce bra.
It has a little lettuce bow.
