>>45501510>The main issue with that is he was mostly doing it on Discord and Twitter, not citing the original artists when reposting their artwork (or just reposting it in general, it varies from artist to artist) on those platforms is a cardinal sin.The fact that it's a cardinal sin to begin with is absurd, not everyone is gonna have access to a source because not everyone actually gets their images from the source. Genuine art theft should be harshly discouraged, but back in my day genuine art theft entailed actually claiming artwork as your own.
>And a large amount of that can be fixed by just checking Danbooru’s/Gelbooru’s original artist tag.Not if you didn't get your artwork from the boorus. It's asinine to try and tell someone they should sift through boorus to MAYBE find the picture they intended to post, to MAYBE find an artist tagged, every single time they intend to post or share artwork. It's a whole lot of extra steps to such a simple thing as posting artwork you saved of a character you like. And on that note, did you know PL has more Leaf pics than Gelbooru and Danbooru combined?
Again, attacking him on unsourced images is ridiculous. Especially on an anonymous imageboard. PL is not an art thief, he doesn't claim any of that fanart as his own nor does he intend to steal clicks away from the original artists. He just loves posting his precious Leaf.
>You should see how he handled being told to not post image walls of Leaf on /c/‘s Pokégirl threads. There’s also his insistence on “Winning” threads and coming off as being “superior” in various aspects when he really isn’t.I've seen his antics, dude's a nutter. But he's a nutter for his waifu and I respect that a little bit.
>Yeah, we’ve all seen that Waffle House pic and screams East Coast Suburbia.Just an aside, they have Waffle Houses in places like Texas, too.
