I’M NOT ONE TO DISS. BUT THIS KIND OF SHIT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES SO I’M GOING TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SEVERAL STATEMENTS.
The posts I claim are either of two things: WATERMARKED and “SOURCED” or JUST “SOURCED”
In the recent months, I have only opted to watermark macros I make
And often in the recent weeks, the pictures I do minor editing to are simply sourced, devoid of my watermark
I am aware that once you do not watermark (since there’s nothing to “backtrace” you with), you forfeit the right to ownership/claim/credit, and are subject to massive reposts in various places
Because DUH this is the internet and you can’t expect everyone to have a bibliography for all the pictures they saved so they can properly cite sources in APA or MLA form when they want to repost them.
And DUH this is the internet. Your shit becomes public property.
I GET THAT. SURE.
REALLY. I GET IT. I SAID IT, DIDN’T I? OBVIOUSLY, I GET IT.
BUT IT’S REALLY ANNOYING TO FIND SOMETHING YOU’VE POSTED SHOW UP ON SOMEONE ELSE’S PAGE AND/OR SHOW UP IN YOUR TRACKED TAGS, ONLY HOURS AFTER YOU’VE POSTED IT.
AND IT’S REALLY ANNOYING TO SEE IT ON THE SAME WEBSITE YOU’VE POSTED IT ON. ESPECIALLY IF THAT WEBSITE HAS A REBLOG BUTTON.
I MEAN, COULDN’T YOU WAIT A FEW DAYS OR AT LEAST UNTIL THE POST IS NO LONGER ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE ORIGINAL POSTER’S TUMBLR?!
SO YOU COULD AT LEAST USE THE EXCUSE “I COULDN’T FIND IT ANYMORE”
Because I get how you want to share something on your tumblr but can’t find the original post, and I don’t expect you to go trouble yourself and hunt down the original post when you have it saved on your computer and you find it easier to upload it instead.
BUT IF IT’S CLEARLY RIGHT THERE. WHEN THE POST IS FRESH. WHEN IT’S IN THE FRONT PAGE OF THE ORIGINAL POSTER’S TUMBLR. AND YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL POSTER (you’re probably not anymore). AND THE REBLOG BUTTON IS WITHIN REACH. THEN IT’S NOT FUCKING COOL.
I DON’T REALLY GIVE A FUCK IF YOU GIVE ME CREDIT FOR THE SILLY SHIT I MAKE. I JUST DON’T WANT YOU USING MY SHIT RIGHT AFTER I’VE POSTED THEM. BECAUSE I DON’T FUCKING UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE ESTRANGED TO THE REBLOG BUTTON OR CAN’T AT LEAST WAIT A WHILE SO YOUR FRONT PAGE DOES NOT MATCH MINE.
Also, since I’m making statements, REMOVING WATERMARKS IS THE GREATEST SIN. (Not that I’ve seen my watermarks removed)
And reposting shit I watermark (yeah my macros) are okay. I just don’t like seeing them on my dashboard because I get confused. DO NOT FUCKING CONFUSE ME. IT’S IRRITATING. I’M IRRITABLE. You can do it. I’m just saying I don’t like seeing them. Also, same rules apply. WAIT A LITTLE BEFORE REPOSTING. If you don’t want to reblog, then don’t fucking post right away.
It’s your tumblr. You can do whatever the fuck you want with it. But this is my tumblr and I can make whatever statements I want to make, and direct any form of BITCHINESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO ARE OF GRAVE NUISANCE TO MY TUMBLRLIFE
Freak out completely
