another famous rant! or rather a psa.

please do not reupload someone else's work without their permission.

i just notified an artist last night of one of their artworks that had been reuploaded. the excuse for doing this was "the person who posted it took it down, so im just reuploading it"

no!!!!! thats not how this works!!!!!!!! if someone takes their art down then they did it for a reason and you should absolutely not reupload it. i dont understand how this is such a hard concept to grasp
what you're doing is redistributing artwork that was taken down for the artist's own reasons; you're violating their privacy and their wishes to have that artwork removed.
would you like it if i went back to something you drew maybe 7 years ago and reupload it for everyone to see? what if i reuploaded some art you did for a friend? what if i reuploaded an adoptable that you took down? that wouldnt be very nice, would it

as someone who's had their art upright stolen before, it's absolutely infuriating to be minding your own damn business and you suddenly see some jerk reuploaded something you took down for your own personal reasons, and without your permission. it's absolutely infuriating to see your art uploaded anywhere not by you without your consent. it's annoying, it's angering, and it's hurtful.

so please don't reupload someone else's work without their permission.

please ask first.

this goes for art, mmd stuff, whatever. do not reupload someone else's work without asking them first. this is so important to me and ill say it however many times i have to
