A reblog literally means nothing? You get literally 0 money and you shouldn’t be guilting people for liking content? As an artist you put out art for likes? I’m so confused, why are you guilting people for your content? Maybe people don’t want to have certain things on their blog so they don’t reblog? Pls help me understand bc I feel like you want us to feel guilty? There’s creators on every single platform fam so idk
this is what annoys me, you are so missing the point here, reblogs mean something, reblogs means that more people will see your creators, that be art, gifs, edits, graphics, video edits whatever, likes? not so much, AGAIN, I am not saying reblog everything in sight, I mean if you like a certain creation reblog, instead of just liking it, just saying.
I am not (we creators) are not guilt tripping anyone, we are just saying, that a few years ago people reblogged content, interacted, now this almost looks like instagram, the whole point of this site is SPREADING CONTENT, I mean why are you here for? to have a blog with zero content?
I know I’m not here for money lmao, I love doing gifs I love it and I love sharing them but appreciation is nice. If you know your content is good and you like seeing feedback, it’s not just me, i know a lot of people feel the same way. So if I know my creations are good I have the right to see it thrive adn reblogs mean that.
Obviously there is creators on other platforms but there is so much content that is stolen from here, I’ve been seeing this FOR YEARS years and it’s sad when for example someone steals a gif from me and it gets 10k likes a shit tone of retweets and here it goes for 1k notes, and twitter even if you like something it will appear on the dash of the people that follow you. Here that doesn’t happen. Reblogs are a major part of this site and on the way of live of creators.

White Fangirls: I love when the male lead ends up with the girl next door or his childhood bff
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: um ... the girl next door thing is so cliched.
White Fangirls: I love when the male lead pines over the girl and she's oblivious
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: She's so CRUEL. Why doesn't she see he's in love with her? She's a bitch.
White Fangirls: I love when they go from partners to lovers. It's my favorite trope.
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: Why can't they just stay friends. Not every relationship is romantic. Ugh!
White Fangirls: I love when the female lead is more than just a love interest. I love when she has her own storyline and can kick ass.
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: Why do they focus on her so much? [Other white character] is so much more interesting.
White Fangirls: I don't understand why there aren't more strong female leads.
Me: *looks at all the strong Black female leads on TV*
Me: What about -
White Fangirls: There's just no strong, three-dimensional women on TV to root for. Sigh.
Jews aren’t involved in a widespread conspiracy to control American society, but you know who is?
Rich white evangelical christians.
APPARENTLY this is something I need to state because it isn’t something people understand. If someone says for _____ to not interact and you fall into that category, don’t interact with them! It IS invading boundaries. It doesn’t matter if you think those boundaries make sense, they’re that person’s boundaries.
if someone tells you that your OC or your fave is a Mary Sue, tell them they shouldn’t complain about a character when they can’t even get their name right
anyone notice a new trend of really entitled people joining fandom?
I feel like jerks have existed since the beginning of time, but it feels worse lately.
So far this year, I’ve witnessed:
People offering free unasked criticism to artists because they’re not happy with the way their favourites are portrayed, stating that ‘they deserve to know what they did wrong so they can improve’ while the feedback they offered was ‘why does everyone look like they’re on ozem***’ (idk if i need to tw this word)
Also giving feedback AND REVIEWS to FANFIC as if they’re published works (and adding them on GOODREADS TO RATE)
People mass producing binded fanfiction and making THOUSANDS of dollars off work they did not create (they stole the artwork too)
People running incomplete fanfictions through AI because the writer wasn’t updating and COMMENTING on the fic telling others to do the same so they can get an ending
And now, in the span of two days:
People trying to argue that if they can’t sell binded fanfiction, then you’re not allowed to commission fanart from artists either
The same people encouraging people to use AI or steal fanart for their binds
ALSO the same people openly admitting that when they typset fics, they will edit the fanfiction and change entire sentences so that it ‘makes more sense to them’ – one person complained the entire fic was rough gramatically and was seeking permission not from the author but OTHER BINDERS to freely edit as they please
I’m trying to be a positive person in the communities I’m in, but GOD I am so tired. Every day I fight a battle deciding if I should just be a worse person, everyone’s doing whatever the hell they want anyway.
Wall of Shame for gif+fanworks thieves and their supporters who steal my stuff and can't even give me a very simple apology. I'm not asking for much y'all! When it's not dealing with reposters, a general blog about gifs and other relevant PSAs. Have fun reading them all, hopefully you'll learn something significant about how to interact with strangers you don't know online. Genuinely, I hope they help, but I won't entertain reposters, trolls, or any of their supporters. By the way, if you've reposted my stuff or tried to argue with me in favor of stealing and reposting other's hard work without giving proper credit and asking for Permissions, delete it!!! Any reblog here noting fanworks thieves or supporters stays up until relevant posts or conversations are fully, one hundred percent deleted. It's super easy!!! "ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!"
