I know, it's annoying :/

I will flip shit if I see my lioness up there.

It seems to be all canon artwork.

FWIW there's another VK page that's (in the title anyways) explicitly dedicated to TLK (much more generic furry smut in practice), they do a damn good job of crediting, and I've found a number of TLK artists here on FA because of them that I otherwise somehow missed.

The point is, though, that it's posted there without permission. Reposting artwork to a page after gaining permission is fine, but not before. Sometimes an artist doesn't want a work posted other places, especially for purposes like Patreon or if it's a commission for someone etc.

Fair enough. I'm not trying to argue that this other VK page is hunkydory and we should all celebrate its rightness, I'm just saying there's more than one angle to consider.

I understand what you're saying. It's not really a witch hunt, but artists deserve to know their work is being posted somewhere without their permission and they reserve a right to ask to have it taken down or for not.

True dat. No idea if the Russian sites are as good, but E621 is pretty respectful I think, when an artist requests they get added to a DNP it's honored.
