While you say you don’t care about my opinion, ironically you seem to be under the false impression that your opinion holds any weight or value to me.

Tracing is fine as a tool for learning and that is where it ends.
Tracing someone’s work and posting it, claiming it as your own and not crediting the original creator(s) is the issue.
It’s even worse when money is involved, because its lazy and unethical, and oftentimes equivalent to a scam for those paying for it without knowing the product they’re gonna get is just going to be a cheap knockoff trace of existing works by other artists.
It has nothing to do with people being “thin skinned”, it’s a matter of ethics and stealing and potentially profiting off someone elses hard work and copyright/intellectual property. it’s widely known in the community to be a very scumbag thing to do, hence why people get called out for it so often.
I understand that as a coomer consumer, you don’t give a shit about stuff like that, doesn’t make it ok though.

in fcat tracing is a nice idea and many awesome art comes from tracing. the problem and bad idea is posting it in places where people are so thin skinned they complain about it like there is no tomorrow making others lose that stuff forever. sad

yeah but it was like his first ever thing by the looks of it, and he may have quickly realised tracing is a bad idea.

isn’t this something bad? i have seen lots of people complaining about tracing etc but this is other level steal. not that i’m complaining, the art makes me hard lol. but. it’s weird no one jumped to his throat

Who’s the one saying me next?
