My Bucket is Copyrighted
There's an LJ community,

gothic_babes, for fashion/modelling/photography/camwhoring. A recent post was made in which the OP generally looks for constructive criticism about her modelling. Comments are fairly tame. Someone, apparently, makes a less-than-constructivecomment about the OP's weight, and is banned. The OP reacts quite graciously and doesn't let it ruffle her feathers.

Meanwhile, the now-banned commenter feels the need to vent. The response, initially, is mainly, "GTFO and stop failing."

That is, until the OP from gothic_babes appears and, in a sudden feather ruffling, feels the need to educate the community about copyright.

The community makes varying attempts at reason. The OP is not interested.

If you didn't want to have someone "steal" your image and macro it, you shouldn't have *given* it to us

If you didn't want me to steal your money, you shouldn't have taken your wallet out in public!

If you didn't want your house robbed, you should have moved into a neighborhood where I don't B&E!

If you didn't want to be raped, why the hell are you wearing that short skirt?

Man, I love this way of blaming other people. I've got to use this at my job today: "Ma'am, if you wanted change back from your twenty, you should have mentioned that before giving it to me. It's too late now, I've pocketed it, but it's YOUR FAULT for handing it to me in the first place."

	If you wanted your planet intact, you shouldn't have moved it between me and my view of Venus, damnit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you didn't want slash written about your characters, you shouldn't have given them such yummy actors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, sometimes you really do have to just blame the subtext. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Good point. Though, admittedly, I am the world's most oblivious fangirl on the subject of subtext. I had to have the slashy subtext in the LotR movies pointed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...damn. You should really get that looked at. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hey, I've already been accused of terminal stupidity. I don't deny, I have moments. And knowing is half the battle! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stupidity is common. Loss of slash vision is troublesome. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm improving! It helps if vampires are involved! Which is weird, because I couldn't read Anne Rice BEFORE she went batshit. (Reply to this)(Parent)
