[rant] I'm really tired of this. I understand that this is a kids website, but a bunch of kids on this website need to learn some respect. Recently, there have been an annoying amount of people, all likely young kids, from 8-10 years old, disregarding any respect for anyone else only to benefit themselves. There have been countless people adding projects into studios that explicitly say "no unrelated projects" and people stealing art. And why? For attention. Because most kids these days are not being taught to be respectful because it just doesn't occur to their parents that they need to be taught it. Well guess what? Disrespectful little kids grow up to be teens who do whatever they want because they're parents quite literally don't care, and then they grow up to be unsuccessful adults because they've made so many bad decisions as a growing child that it all falls down on them in the future. Learn to be respectful!!! It's not that hard!! People are rude to you because you're rude to them! Follow rules, kids. It's not that hard. If someone says to do (or not do) something and you go against that rule, people /will/ be upset. You can't get mad, saying a bunch of people are "attacking" you when it's all your doing. Most people want to settle things peacefully and don't even show they're mad, they just kindly point out what you did wrong and they tell you how to change it. [By the way guys, I'm not explicitly calling anyone out, I'm just using "you" because it's kinda hard to write "kids who are disrespectful" over and over] But the responses those people get? "I didn't do /this/! I didn't do /that/! Stop being mean to me I don't know what you're talking about I would neeeverrr do that!" All while there is plain evidence everywhere of the things you did. Stop. Learn to be respectful. Learn to own up to things. People aren't rude to anyone who does these things until you start attacking them, and yes, YOU are the one attacking, not vice versa. If you do these things, you shouldn't even be allowed to be on the internet. You really shouldn't. If you can't be trusted to have some simple respect for others you can't be trusted to have access to an online website where you can communicate with people you don't know because it is NOT okay. I don't care what you do with your personal friends, go be a little jerk to them, but to others, it's unacceptable. Go learn common etiquette first. ALSO- specific note to people who steal art: Just don't. It's stupid, it's lazy, it's dumb. Instead of stealing art or tracing it and then claiming it as your own, just ask an artist to teach you. There's a 50/50 chance that they'll help you, or at least give you reliable resources for you to learn. I take art theft VERY seriously. It's painful, mentally painful, to watch amazing artist's personal work get stolen and claimed to be someone else's, and even worse, when it's denied. I am extremely good at telling whether or not art is stolen and I will spend countless hours inspecting art to see just specifically how the art is stolen, what parts are traced, etc. And after that? I report the stolen art, link the original project, and give an /extremely/ detailed description on just how you stole someone's art and claimed it as your own. And if I run out of room? I report it again to finish my claim. Y'all need to stop. It's sickening watching this happen. Get your little toddler butts off this damn website until you LEARN how to be a respectful person.
