I'd doing this in part because i want to get a new journal up, but mostly because i feel like talking about this subject, it's one of the things that really annoys me to no end.

Anyone that knows me, knows I've been following, calling out, and getting banned a certain 'artist'. I use the term loosely because they do nothing more than trace over other people's works and upload it like their own masterpiece. I spotted him like 2 years ago now i think, tracing off of Alvin Earthworm's works, as well as other artists, such as jeremy bernal, arctic-sekai, tailsrulez and a few others. He's been on deviantart and here. Honestly i wouldn't care about him being a trace artist, if he would just cite his sources, give credit where it's due. He's also mexican and speaks poor english, maybe that's why he can't understand what i've tried to tell him, or he just doesn't care.

Even though he's a trace artist, i find it sad that the reason he was banned from Deviantart was for harrassment, namely cussing and yelling at people that called him out on his work, an empty victory in my opinion. And the reason for him being banned on here is because he was drawing mature images and he was underage, he then made a fake account so he could upload his adult work, was caught, and banned, once again an empty victory.

He's suppose to be banned here as well, but he just keeps making new names and coming back, this is one reason i neglect to report him, at least i can keep an eye on the prick if i know what account he has. Also, and i'm sure i'm sick for this, i get enjoyment out of calling him out when i can, infront of his fans.

But this is where things get depressing and i get frustrated. Dispite pointing out he's a trace artists and posting the links to the original works in his comments, it seems like his watchers either don't notice he's a tracer, or they are turning a blind eye to it, and why? because he gives them cheep traced porn!

So not only does this guy get banned for what i think are the wrong reasons, but the people that watch him are either ignorant that he's a tracer, or they simply don't care, as long as he keeps giving them ripped off porn.

If you are curious who i'm refering too, he use to go by 'irondark' and now his current FA name is necrosis01. If you want to try and figure out what sources he's been using and call him out on it, or if you want to get him banned, go for it. There's no sense of achievement to point out a thief if no one cares. If you can't cost him his fanbase, cost him his account, right?

And yes i know it's not the first time i've made a journal about this guy before, it probably won't be the last time i do this either. Sorry if i sound to much like a broken record.
