  So the mod is threatening to ban someone for defending themself - seems like a dbag thing to do.

    It's the I-don't-care-who-started-it injustice.

    Often people in authority will see injustice and respond as if the real problem was that everyone else disturbed them, failing to even attempt to actually understand the situation first.

    This is because power has been shown to cause changes in the brain that make you less capable of empathy.

  What possible reason could one have to accuse someone of stealing a third person’s art without proof? I can very vaguely understand falsely claiming it as your own work because that gets you (temporary) attention. But on behalf of someone else? Why? The only scenario that makes sense to me is that Red thought they’d seen the art elsewhere, didn’t properly check before throwing out accusations, and this is them desperately trying to save face instead of simply saying “whoops, you’re right, my mistake, I should’ve checked first, sorry”.

  Sidenote: how is this “off-site drama”?

    If I’m sure I saw it somewhere else, I would also speak up, BUT I would provide evidence of that. And I would ask in s different way, because it might have been that the artist just uses a new account name.

    Why? Because I fucking had it with those motherfucking attention whores on this motherfucking internet.

    I’m not the artist, but why should I not bring attention to somebody just stealing stuff and posting it as their own? It’s great that artist post their art for free on the internet for us to enjoy, the least (and often only) thing they should get out of that is that their user name is attached to that.

      Definitely, and thank you for doing that. I didn’t mean to say it’s weird to stand up for someone else, I’d do the same and I’d hope someone else would if my art was ever stolen. The important part here is bringing proof. The fact that they didn’t do that strongly suggests they either were careless and messed up or, as apparently seems more likely, intentionally throwing out false accusations on behalf of some third person, the reasons for which baffle me.

    I think the mod just saw how the links were to places like YouTube and other sites and assumed it must be off site drama without realizing Red is a troll.

      Goodness gracious, I’ve seen a lot of internet art drama but this is new.
