If I say it any louder my vocal cords are gonna be fried lmao

Fry those vocal chords yell it to the heavens

I mean I'm already dead so they're already fried. . .hmmmmmmm

True....true

Ugh. I hate this even has to be said. x.x; People make adoptables if you want a fursona. PAY SOMEONE TO MAKE YOU ONE.

Not even that, there are free to use bases, like GREAT free to use bases, and free programs. That's legit how I started by using FREE bases and making characters off of that.

Yeah and even if ya gotta use paint, it'll still work. May not look the best, but it's something.

I'm new to the fandom but this is supposed to be common sense right? It's ART, that's intellectual property, that people don't get to copy just "cause they wanna". FFS people who think that's okay must be vapid narcissist's

Like I mentioned, the worst part of the situation was they literally asked me. "Would you mind if I used Ares as my Fursona? I've been looking for a design that fits what I've been looking for in a character for a long time." Like if you've been looking, you shouldn't be asking to use someone else's property.

I'd be so sad if I saw someone using Melinoë, my sona ;-; I guess all we can really do is report people who steal and call it a day cause people do be DUMB.

You've got quite a nicely designed character, so I can't blame you, lol. Luckily the person who asked changed what character they were using, but can't really do much on that part as I don't know the character or artist they're using now.

Ohp ty >///< I didn't expect you to go look haha. And oof I'm sorry you can't directly report them. Hopefully people will recognize your IP and call it when they see thieves.

Pfft, I honestly peek at anyone's profile that either follows or comments on profiles/things XD

okay good I'm not the only one x) I deep dive everyone who comments/likes or watches my profile

I just like to check out people's characters honestly. I am a sucker for good designs XD

I feel this on a spiritual level.

Just wait till someone 'kins' your oc man its a fuckin wild time

When someone decides to "kin" my oc I'm a just throw down and punch a mullet. . .why a mullet? I have NO clue.

surprising this needs to be said?, but nowadays people are becoming more an more moronic with less common sense. but can i be honest for a moment? when was it that people dont have "enough" imagination to plan out a character? plenty of bases out there as you rightly put it, also a plethora of artist happy to draw. its gotta get to a point where stupid has to be treated like stupid in order for people to stop being so retarded rather than glorified over it!

Honestly I wouldn't go as far as the R word, because honestly we never know someone's condition. However if they have the cognitive function to ask, they should at least be creative enough to know there are free methods out there.

That's true, honestly my bad on that :o but it still is ignorant for someone to ask, or even use anyone's character without permission, As I know like me and probably yourself, many people use their characters to express themselves online, using their designs is like taking a photo of them in public without permission; 1. Can be interpreted as creepy asf 2. Some people straight up don't like it (I know I don't!), Going back to when i first was designing my character i printed out a free blank wolf base template then spent some time doodling different designs (granted I have some art skills but doesn't mean people can't learn a new skill) till i was happy with his final design before asking around for my first paid commission (be it filled with apologies with the crap references to go off XD)
