Side note to previous journal. I know art theft is a thing. I'm not naive enough to insist it isn't. I know there are ways to deal with it if and when it happens. I'm not super worried it'll happen to me. What I care about is that this whole sake happened in such a shady way. I care about the artists I respect and look up to having their shit stolen so quickly after this whore thing went public. I carte about this site suddenly being a property of a publicly traded corporation which has little to no interest in protecting an artist's rights to their own works. This whole business has been handled poorly and I don't see any moves to stay handling it better. I doubt anybody in a position of power on this site gives a crap about what I think and I don't expect them to but I am going to look out for myself and I am going to stand by the many artists that I have looked up to for years. It may be stupid and drastic to clear everything out because of my principles but that's what I'm doing.
