Amino vs Art Theft.

Truth be told, at this point I absolutely hate Amino and no one can change my mind.

There’s so much art theft on the app, and no one is trying to do something against it. There is no “report” button, there is no “DMCA” request. You can only ask the MODs or ADMs to remove the art, but sometimes they will refuse to remove it, or even start being aggressive, throwing tons of stupid excuses for their acts. And you’re forced to download the app and make an account to request them to take down your art.

That being said - even the ADMs and MODs are supporting art theft.

For example, my friend asked an ADM from SU BR Amino to take down a post because they CROPPED their watermark, the ADM refused to take it down and said that they would make a new post crediting the art. (And they blamed Pinterest users for cropping the watermark - which as a lie).

My friend explained that reposting art without permission is a crime (and in fact, it is) and they said that they weren’t stealing (because no one claimed the art as their own) so it wouldn’t be considered a crime.

My friend told the ADM that artists disliked Amino because art theft as something common, and then, the ADM told their friends about it - and the same people stalked my friend and started to victim-blaming and saying bad things about my friend, like “you are disgusting”.

After joining the artists community on Tumblr, I’ve meet some artists that share similar stories, and ALL of them have the same dislike for Amino that i have.

For short, if you are a creator, and ask them to take down your art or edit, or they’ll ignore you, or being completely arrogant and disrespectful.

Now stop a minute and think about it with me -

An Amino blog with more than 100,000 users (where most of the users are minors) learning to support art theft, while both ADMs and MODs are being immature and doing nothing about it.

Art theft is a big issue on the internet already, and the kids are not learning to respect the artists - they are learning the opposite.

Kids are idolizing the MODs and the ADMs, and not the content creators.

So what do you think will happen in the future?

Not to mention this damn watermark:

Re-watermarking an artwork? This should be ilegal.

Now, seriously:

- Don’t roleplay as others characters.

- Don’t re-name, trace or steal others characters.

- Don’t repost art when the artist has clearly said they don’t want that.

I’m not saying that ALL Aminos are like that. But only few Aminos are absolutely against art theft and have guidelines about it.

Here Are Some Old Pics I’ve Found Lying Around From My SAF Days. Was Sitting On Them Because I Had

Here are some old pics I’ve found lying around from my SAF days. Was sitting on them because I had hoped to get to work on a fully functioning story and didn’t want to tip my hand too much, but I’ve become quite busy with other projects and SAF is not one of my primary interests anymore.

If you followed my Deviantart while I was taking a break from Tumblr, you’ve probably seen the first picture. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

The other pictures I’ve never posted anywhere else though. They’re old concept images of Sans’ ultimate role in the present of SAF - its antagonist, the Riven. An angry, mad specter of the former Knight-General, whose only goal is to make everyone else feel the same soul-shattering pain he’s felt.
