k ♥♥♥♥ it, the internet is full of stupid
i saw that one short where some guy on twitter used someone's artwork as his pfp, and the artist asked him for credit to which he replied that the artwork is not worthy of credit or something like that. that got a bunch of internet sheeps to bully him on twitter, even when he posted about his crush on som gurl they kept with it. first of all, the guy was obv a teenager, 13-16 most likely. second, why are people so worked up over someone's comment on an artwork, the whole point of art is to get people talking, negative or positive. third, what is wrong with these sheep of internet users who should go outside and not bully some random teenager online. waiting to hear your thoughts

People have the mindset that hard work should be appreciated and to give credit where it's due. Any offense against this mindset is universally hated.

Also, most of those people dog-piling on him are likely children, as well.

my mind goes to random places, even if it occured years ago. and i wanna know what other people think. but fr i am tired of those users who wouldn't use critical thinking, instead buying into the narrator's version without question
I won't forgive OP for making the NFT people look good. Even a little.

Given the nature of the post, and the age of your account, you're probably the 14-year-old in question

Just add credit; it's really not a big deal. If you don't want to, then just make an AI recreation, or apply the same standard of that behaviour consistently. What you did was basically like this:

>someone is making and selling origami
>you buy, or otherwise acquire some origami from that person
>another person asks where you got the origami, likely because they'd like some too
>you don't provide them details, or worse, you say you made it yourself

Personally, I think it's largely the artist's fault for not watermarking their stuff; if they're going to post their works online for free, they should expect that it'll be freely used -- however, asking for credit isn't unreasonable, and should just be a common-courtesy you don't get upset over

Hey as soon as someone from Team at Hollow knight asks me to change this, I will be more then happy to do so, I have no artistic talent at all, so I won't have a gamer pfp anymore.

acctually it is, because i have free will, and that person/artist is not above me in any way shape or form.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
