I'm really tempted to start posting in glossolalia, just typing in made up words
one of my favourite chara designs fr all the danganronpa related games (like made by the same ppl etc) its so perfect, it has painted scary teeth and a dripping eye and a giant pin ❣
HOLY SHIT YES. MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE'S SO CUTE!
it's just an endless cycle of evil and malice against alienated ppl
We gotta put "not like other girls" up on a shelf until people can stop using it to disparage people expressing genuine social alienation I'm so fucking serious
Artistic freedom is part of your mental autonomy, that you have the right to communicate with people in the way you feel you need to, you can express your thoughts/feelings etc. you can manipulate ideas, that's a real freedom
property rights are exclusively designed to control people and enforce economic inequality and when applied to creative concepts this is extra true, I would even consider it a kind of emotional/psychological violence because it stops people from communicating with each other
fanfic/meme images exist in an unenforced niche, they are not legal under copyright

This is absolutely a correct statement if it was just about personal remixes, but the context here is about businesses using other people's work without permission. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're allowed to remix it yourself. If a company has the means to use someone's work in a for-profit venture, then they have the means to pay someone for the product of their labour. These companies don't even use other people's IP in a novel way that bends IP law to create something that contributes to culture; the loss of culture if sellers of Redbubble t-shirts couldn't just take pictures from the internet and sell them for 40 bucks anymore would be negligible compared to, say, losing Lasgna Cat alone would be.
its already illegal for redbubble sellers to do that though. thats already not allowed. like thats already literally a copyright violation under current copyright law and guess what: because random people posting their fanart online don't have the money to afford a corporate lawyer, it just keeps happening and will keep happening, because copyright law never has and never will defended anyone but the wealthy. like this fantasy of your art as a Small Artist being protected by copyright law is just that, a fantasy, it doesn't happen and will never happen. you are completely detached from reality!
due to current circumstances the idea of art having a 'soul' and using 'soulless' as a pejorative has increased. Is it a good idea to tie creative value to this kind of mystical aura? It's not, and I don't mean that because it's supernatural but because it is exclusive and narrow.
In Ancient Egypt, they apparently believed in more than three 'souls.' Which one is blessing your art?
Will expand in a future post on the bio-essentialist and exclusionary core of the soul/soulless conflict
I hate all those youtube videos called like "This book is the worst" and they have some ooc suggestive or risky quotes on the thumbnail next to an npc loser affecting a shocked expression. It's so evil.
Please don't promote the idea that weird or explicit lines are a serious flaw in books
it's interesting how Rose of Versailles makes the aesthetics of the monarchy and the revolution fit together in a coherent whole. IRL the revolutionaries didn't like the rococo stuff, but Ikeda has made it so that the rococo aesthetics have transformed to symbolize the intensity of revolution itself.
