Some deviantArt wank!
Happy Thanksgiving, JF Americans! Have a little wanky appetizer before your meal.

dA user justflyakite creates a stamp reading "I support OCs," and calls out fanartists in the Artist Comments for being "uncreative."

The internet proceeds to break in half.

The usual "original vs. fan-created" debates rage on and on in the 5+ pages of comments. User Fenris-of-bloodmoon, for example, argues that fanart can be "creative and imaginative," while original characters are "unoriginal, and the most boring and typical of creations around the net."

Meanwhile, the creator of the stamp causes some bonus fandom-related wank when s/he states that s/he "hates KH," and spurs on the age old "why can't Axel and Roxas just be FRIENDS?" debate.

Predictable, but always a classic.

It's like she was just sitting there, drenched in BBQ sauce, naked in the bear pit, screaming "COOOO-EEEEEEEEE!"

Do you think she's clever enough to do this as a ploy for hits?

Whether she knew it was BBQ sauce or thought it was sunblock, she still managed. Stupid is no excuse.

Pfft. Amateurs. Everyone knows you only put up your fanart on Dev because you have better things to do with your original. Like sell it.

I have to say, anyone who says "I too prefer vagina" is never not gay.

It cracks me up because I think of the little paper clip in Microsoft Word.

Wow, this has actually gotten to the people I DevWatch. And some of the comments are kind of disturbing. Not because of fanartist rage either, weirdly enough, but the exact opposite. Rather, fanartists being called bitchy entitled pageview whores who should just go kill themselves and give real artists their space on the net.

Now I concur that fanart can be as "creative and imaginative" as original art, anyone named "Fenris-of-bloodmoon" doesn't know anything about creativity.

So in addition to using someone else's icon, (Apparently she just pastde words on yay! and then specifically says "[the artists] gave me permission to use their icons like Square-Enix/Disney gave them permission to whore out their characters.") S/h/it is complaining about things they do themselves. I love fanart wank. <3
