Bro i dont care, stop making art if you dont enjoy it, im screenshotting funny pictures and sharing while i poop it’s not that serious. Artists are supposed to make art because they feel they have to, not because they want everyone to know their name.
I doubt that. No care = no comment.
And usually I’d take the time to unpack the remaining drivel, but instead I think I’ll leave you with another work of art to ponder.
Here’s Tim Minchin with a beat poem called Mitsubishi Colt
Cool bro im sure tim minchin really appreciates you citing him, they would stop making art if it wasn’t for you
You’re a fucking loser
Yeah and youre a winner because you cite the artist on a meme lmao
Yeah, I am lol
People need food, shelter, and healthcare to live. Many artists are denied these things because they choose to provide us with entertainment instead of feeding the capitalist machinery. That is in fact very serious.
There was enough art to last anyone a thousand lifetimes before any of us were born, nobody is doing the world a favor by not getting a real job and sitting at home making art
Getting a job doing what? We already have way more than enough people for just about everything. What I want to see more of is art.
Then you can buy the art nobody is stopping you, not anyone else’s problem if an artist makes art nobody wants to buy and they need to get a job instead
Says the person trying to make it harder for me to find the artist that I should be buying from.
Yeah dont buy any of the memes i share theyre all stupid jokes
Brother it don’t have to be that complicated. Only a piece of shit tries to steal someone else’s work. Don’t be a piece of shit. Not that difficult.
Brother it’s digital data it’s not stealing it’s copying they don’t lose the piece of art they made when i copy and send it to a cousin for shits and gigs
What are you talking about? No one’s worried about you copying stuff. Have you not been paying attention to anything in this thread? The contention here is people editing the art to remove the artist signature. You’re altering the art to take away their name, you’d be stealing it at that point. You do that you’re a piece of shit. Is that what you are arguing for or not? If not I’m not sure what you’re arguing for here.
Yes, that’s what im arguing for, im gonna crop whatever i want and send it to people and it doesn’t hurt anybody and you can cry about it all you want. If you love an artist you can go to their website and buy something from them nobody is stopping you and that helps the artist way more than making sure you include their signature in a screenshot
Whelp. Makes you a piece of shit then.
Cool man ill take it as a compliment coming from you
Wow. Gatekeeping art? Go fuck yourself
Who’s gatekeeping?? Im not the one talking about banning posts that aren’t cited or whatever
Hi, artist here. That part is true, I do create stuff just because I like to. And it’s great!
I do feel very fortunate that no law requires me to publish this stuff. Publishing works is a surprisingly complicated process that a lot of people don’t really think about. There’s a lot of surprising sources of headaches; for example, some people have very strange ideas about how art should be distributed.
How to tell everyone you haven’t made a single thing in your worthless life:
Yeah yeah ad hominem because you dont like my opinion, i was a lead singer in a bad for three years by the way did about a hundred shows, and i never did it for the money. You should try making art without worrying about the money it’s quite liberating.
