Nothing, nothing drives me more insane than this fandom's hard-on for making icons out of uncredited fanart.

It pisses me off when somebody posts a bunch of fanart icons to one of the SE coms - nothing but cropped fanart pics, mind you, no other effort or effects involved - and they get a million comments along the lines of "Wow, your icons are so pretty!" or "Wow, what fantastic icons!"

I hate it when icon makers write "all fanart from pixiv" as if that counts as some sort of credit. Fuck no. That's like saying "all images from google images." That is not a credit.

I hate it when make icons out of fanart from Shuri, Miya Katsura, Miki, or any other artist that has specifically requested - usually IN ENGLISH - that people not make icons from their art. Miya Katsura specifically closed down her website because of people taking her artwork without permission. And just the other day somebody posted to shibusen a bunch of icons using her artwork. (*headdesk*)

Sorry, that was a long reply. But, uh, I guess it counts as just one opinion?

Ah that drives me nuts too. Hetalia fandom's another one that's really bad about uncredited fanart icons. Seriously guys, is it really that hard to credit? Or to not make fanart icons at all?

Oh and my personal favorite is when someone's "credit" for their fanart icons goes "all fanart from 4chan." LIKE, COULD YOU BE MORE VAGUE? 8|

I hate it when people do disrespectful things like that. And yeah, sometimes I can see their pov - but basic social curtesies cost us so very little, and can be so beneficial.
