Anonymous1: @SmellySkunks: Not long I assume. I don't mind them voicing their opinion but they should probably learn to shut the fuck up sometimes and stop being a white knight. Either way, this edit ain't bad. I don't like it or dislike it, but it's a well done edit. Better than what I could do. Kek.
Anonymous3: After I did the tedious work of reading through Xlth's comments, I have formed the opinion that he is a hypocrite. He defends personal preference but admonishes forms of unauthorized and uncredited image edits to an extreme fault. He understands different kinks and concepts but not the desire to altar something to fit those kinks or concepts.
I agree that image edits without an artist's permission or credit is bad and can starve their reputation, but Xlth needs to understand that the art and artists that he has been defending would also be at fault. These artists drew reinterpretations of characters from original works of other people, mainly RWBY in Xlth's case, and the original owners have not given any explicit permission to reinterpret their work. Copyright is a total bitch, but we shouldn't care so long as the reinterpretation avoids being a complete duplicate. Otherwise, every artist should be held accountable, and that would be much less fun.
