Ugh! I promised myself not to let this arsehat see how riled up his comments on the neoboards made me, as it would seem he's a jerk and wanted to get a rise out of someone. However that doesn't mean I can't get mad here. And no I'm not going to post his username or anything. I won't give him that satisfaction.. What has me so riled up? This: (He wrote this on one of the Neoboards after I asked him if he could change a detail on his free art petpage, the detail would have confused a lot of people into thinking taking his art and putting it into the BC would be ok. His response?)
'An no I dont care if people take stuff.. I see people rant and rave about art theft all the time... but as a rule peole who care about art theft have nothing worth stealing.. the reason they care so much is because it's the only thing they've got.'
*snarls* Ugh! People like this make me so mad! Yes I know my art isn't anything to blink an eye at, and yes I know it is mediocore at best when compared to other people's art, but this is going to far. I've seen plenty of people with beyond awesome art complain about Art Theft and try to combat it... *growls* Sorry for posting this girls, but I needed to vent that last paragraph here, as Mr. Stickuphisass would have probably just waved it off as the rantings of an untalented artist had I posted it on the Neoboards. The sad thing was that said jerk actually had some wonderful art, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that they probably weren't stolen.
*snarls some more and goes to listen to some music to calm herself down*

OO meep! That's not fair to those poor souls who do! Neo's rule on art theft is law, it doesn't matter if he says it's okay. If someone gets caught doing it, they'll be frozen for sure D:
Neo should do something about that. He's going to end up getting some poor confused people frozen unfairly, the jerk. 3:

>D Mr. Stuckuphisass needs to go get stuck urr... in the middle of the ocean... and never come back... xD It is true that some people who worry about art theft shouldn't, but most of those who worry about it are rightly doing so! There are so many people out there who steal great art...
Anddd!! Don't call your art mediocre! *kicks you repeatedly* It's flawless and I love to see new works from you :3 Have more faith, friend!
I just had a similar situation... with some n00b sending me a neomail on an account that I restock on... though I want to chew her out for insulting Erika's art I can't because she wouldn't pay attention x3.

Maybe he got it confused with conditioner? XD

I agree completely Selkie, and that's one of the reasons why I even bothered posting on the thread he made about his art and whether or not he should keep hosting it on this site. Ugh.. I feel really bad because I can't do much other than argue with him over the matter, and even that doesn't seem to phase him. However I am happy to report that other than myself and another poster, no one else came to the topic. Which might make him take the art down, and with it the chances of people being wrongly frozen.
Ouch! Britt! I said 'compared' to some other artists' works, not that it was mediocore all around. *cough*eventhoughitis*coughcough* I agree with Selkie again, as personally I would LOVE to hear how they came up with that comparison in the first place. xD Maybe their cat is just a good judge of character?

Just by saying that he's asking for it. xDD 95% of the AMAZING artists out there will 'rant and rave' about art theft. it's a crime, and I think the only reason he refuses to care about it is because his artwork isn't worth stealing in the first place.

Kai, that's what I suspected, too. :/ I kinda wish I could see this art for myself. I have trouble believing he's any good if he's so lax about it...and if it is good, even more trouble believing it's his... I can't imagine anyone being comfortable with giving someone a picture, and then having that person walk around telling everyone else that they had made it. ;.;
Then again, maybe someone should ask him what he'd think if someone got into his account and took everything. Would he rant and rave because he didn't have anything else worth stealing?
-snuggles Quein- all this talk about the BC has me itching to enter. ^^"

Hello all, I'm here to add a different perspective because debates are fun. ^^
I've never gotten very riled up about art theft, personallty. It's cliche, but imitation really is the highest form of flattery. The way people learn as babies how to function in society is by imitating those around them. I've often come across a piece of mind-blowing art and had a sort of 'why didn't I think of that?' moment. I think that's what art thieves have, but they just take it a few steps farther.
I'm not saying I think it's a good thing at all. It is a freezable offense on Neo and plagiarism is a big taboo in real life, but that still doesn't stop these things from happening. I can't justify my own rage at a theft because it means somewhere out there really, really liked my art. I mean, there are better ways of saying so, but you know...^^;

xD I understand where you are coming from Ami, my main beef with this guy however is that he didn't seem to care about the fact that he was misleading innocent people into thinking it was ok for them to enter his art into the BC. Thus needlessly endangering many accounts, because frankly many people don't know any better. That and the fact that he was a rather rude prick whenever he replied to my posts. I respect people's stance on these things and all, but I have a serious problem when someone knowingly does something that might mislead people into doing something that might get them into trouble.

Wow, speaking of which, I just had someone neomail me tellin' me that someone took my pic of quein to use in an application OO" never thought of that kind of theft, but for some reason that doesn't bother me quite as much
though if they'd wanted a piccy, they could've just asked ^^;
