hi!!
don’t repost japanese fan art from pixiv.
and to clarify reposting means uploading it like onto tumblr or twitter or using it as an icon or anything. that’s whether you source it or not.
like sourcing literally doesn’t make it any better at all. i’m not sure why there was such a huge push for “source your pixiv art!!!” in the past. it doesn’t matter if you source it. the issue is that it’s being redistributed outside of the circle that the artist intended for it to be visible in.
fan culture in japan =/= fan culture in the west. copyright in japan =/=copyright in the west. japanese fanartists can and have gotten into serious social/legal trouble as a result of their fanart being seen by the wrong person.
some artists are okay if you ask permission. so check their profile and if it says something about permission, send them a message. their profile is only in japanese and you don’t speak japanese? too bad! guess you can’t repost their art.
thanks!
can’t believe bioware’s putting out a dragon age anime as an apology for da:i’s delay… thank u bioware
"never use this word because it’s common, instead use all of these things that i’ll call synonyms even though they carry different connotations and will change the meaning of your dialogue if you use them" — very bad and unfortunately very common writing advice

i dont go on skype anymore. chat with me by screaming as loud as you can into the night sky. i will be listening
how about we DON’T laugh at the fact someone tried to literally murder a a group of furries in a hotel, hmm?
if you look at a ‘furry’ and think ‘not a human being who deserves to live regardless of the harmless way they choose to live’ i think you have a serious fucking problem
like fuck, you don’t think furries know that society treats them as a joke when they’re relatively harmless people with a relatively harmless hobby?
like fuck off i have no idea what your basis for ‘compassion’ or ‘right to live’ is but making fun of what is literally an attempted mass murder makes you a fucking scumbag
if it had been a hotel full of your precious youtube white men you’d be crying and screaming about it, fuck off
Today in Solidarity (12/7/14): Following in the legacy of athletes like John Carlos, Tommie Smith, and Muhammed Ali, black athletes are representing for the struggle. Action big and small have an impact. Glad to see Derek Rose, Reggie Bush, the UM footballers, and others put the message before the money. #staywoke #farfromover
