This artist account has been active for six years, and already it’s filled with traced and recolored art theft.
They’ve stolen from artists like Plumpig, SickRogue and DJ88 and many, many more that still need to be found.
What gets me is this message they constantly post on every trace
It’s like they’re afraid they’re gonna be found out.
Over the course of the last 24 hours, I have seen a lot of people shouting and touting how Vitani is gay and “No anti ship discourse on my post!” on instagram.
Y’all mother fuckers have lost touch with reality and need to go outside and reconnect with nature.
Vitani does not have a set gender identity. They are a blank slate.
Vitani being gay originated back in early 2000s to combat a bigot homophobe in the fandom.
Y’all seem to have forgotten what headcanon means.
Every time I see people shout “If you don’t ship x, ur homophobic” it feels even more homophobic than it appears. It’s being treated like a shield to be shitty to other people.
This instagram is recoloring random fan art they find on Google, passing it off as an ‘edit,’ and not crediting the artists. Treats fan art like their own personal coloring page. They have stolen from Panther85, WhiteKimya, and Abtherarekwibus of whom I recognize immediately.
The impetuousness of this one was Karen level toxic. They used having a bad day at work as an excuse to throw a tantrum after having been told you can’t redraw/copy fan art and that you must ask first and then credit your sources. They did neither, and proceeded to throw mud at me because how dare I get to recolor when they can’t “reference” art they find on Google(instead of direct linking to the deviation, they direct linked to the thumbnail making sure that it didn’t link to the deviation to prove their point). And proceeded to attack others coming in to defend the artists, explaining the same thing. They go on crying about how it’s not a crime to use references. In their case, they redrew, they didn’t ‘reference’ shit. There’s a difference between using references and redrawing your source pose for pose. Drawing Nala with her rump facing the audience and calling it ‘vent art’ because they ‘had a bad day’ just shows how entitled and selfish this person is over someone else’s fanart.
Another instagram account that appears to have migrated over from picsart. That site that has the tools that members abuse and edit fan art for reusable colorform stickers. This dingus actually cut out characters from fan art and plastered their username on it as if they drew it.
