to a comment i made like, six years ago when i commented on someone's post where they'd... REALLY clearly traced a chibi ensemble pic from the old hetalia webcomic and made it into the crew from mlp:fim. the comment i made was pointing out that it was clearly traced and that tracing art and claiming it as their own was a shitty thing to do
and this wackjob just typed up nearly a whole essay about how it wasn't the same image and i'm a piece of shit slinging around accusations without bothering to check, the op of the traced art (reply dude was VEHEMENT that it wasn't traced, but like. it was fucking identical. come on.), the legs were longer in the traced version, the poses weren't in the same order, etc
and at fist i was gonna reply back with some comment like "chill the fuck out man is this tracer sucking your dick is that why you're so bent out of shape? yikes" but then i was like, no this is shit from back when i was still in fucking high school it's so old, and this guy is clearly SO THIRSTY FOR DRAMA that he's digging up shit from damn near a decade ago, i'm deleting this nutso's reply and moving on
but like, it's a little hilarious that SIX YEARS LATER this dude is SO UP IN ARMS ABOUT THIS. what the FUCK. the tracer wasn't even as mad about it as this dude. whoever the op of that tracing was, at least they were a decent colorist. hope they're not still tracing and trying to pass it off as their own. that's not how you get better at art, man. gotta get better by doing stuff and trying things.
jeez that dude was weird though. i mean, SIX years after the fact? he must've been seriously bored
