Is it just me or has there been a mass increase of people using old glamfur art as icons and pfps (hate that term btw)? I swear I've seen it on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Toyhouse; and I just think it's kinda fucking gross!!! Don't get me wrong, it's also moe girl and old school fandom art too. These people's art aren't stock images/aesthetikz1!1! and neither are their characters - they meant something to these kids back then... the same way our art/characters does to us now! These are the same people who shit themselves if God forbid someone has a similar looking character or art style to them; so how come this is a-okay if the artists affected aren't active online anymore? Show some fucking respect to those who came before you during a much different internet, dipshits! What if I used your art as an icon without your consent or knowledge; would you like that? You have no excuse!!! >:[

i've only seen a few accounts do that to be honest. yeah, it's pretty disrespectful but it's not really like we (and the originals artists) can do about it. best we can do is ask them to provide credits at least :p

there is something else that does quite annoy me a bit too, though; when people say that all glamfur art was made by the same person. like.. what? i understand that if you're new to scene you might confuse some artists because if i'm being honest a LOT of the styles were awfully similar (like roux/fern, old hi*C and lurid's art), but then they show like drastically different styles and say that it's the same person. especially when people confuse saturnine and antique to be the same person, though i kind of get it since they shared the same account and all
