this is another meme that's against sprite thievery, where someone steals sprites and claims them as theirs. i seem to be very protective of my sprites, but you can use them as long as you don't claim them as yours. fun fact: this was originally about music, but i wanted to change it to something that made more sense.
credits: bajongo for the original project, nintendo, and SMG4. i actually did this once. someone stole a CJ7 sprite i made a few years ago, so i responded by telling them to make their own sprites instead of stealing.
