straight up, i think we need to start unironically using the term megacorporation
amazon, disney, pepsi, pretty much any company that owns enough subsidiaries that you’re probably touching five of their products at any one time without realizing unless you know very well where everything you buy comes from
that’s a megacorporation
and it’s bad, todd
WE LIVE IN AN OLIGOPOLIC KLEPTOPLUTOCRACY AND NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE
Alienate Nazis from your content. Make them feel like it is not for them and is explicit in working against them. Whatever ways we can make Nazis feel socially unsafe and unwelcome on the basis of being Nazis is a good deed done.
reminder that nazis aren’t allowed to enjoy my posts
Get the fuck off my blog if you’re a Nazi or a Nazi apologist or think that we need to reach out to them
what i wanna know is how captcha technology went from having to type in a barely readable code, to just. clicking a button. how does this tell you im not a robot. can robots Not press the big funky button
I know this is a shitpost but just in case you don’t know, it actually tracks the way the cursor moves. Bots can click it instantly and moving in a perfectly straight line, people take a few milliseconds to react and move the mouse imperfectly. If the computer’s still not sure whether you’re a human or not, it makes you do the 3x3 photo grid thing I never seem to get right
Its nice that we get to die someday. Imagine being immortal and suddenly you remember all the emberassing things you did in the last 2000 years. Horrible
Me, as a vampire: oh geez
Friend: What’s wrong
Me: Just remembered that time in 1654 when the tavern maid said “Enjoyeth thy meal!” I replied with “Thee as well”
I’m not gonna bother battling a post with hundreds of thousands of notes
but
Deviantart does not sell your art to third parties
That post you’ve seen is a huge mess
It’s been fact checked to death
It circles around every so often I’ve probably seen it ten times at this point
You’re fine
Your art is fine
Professionals have used that site for years and years and still use it without any issue. I’ve used it. The only reason I stopped using it was because I got tired of harassment but that’s not Deviantart’s fault.
Deviantart lets you limit sharing. It lets you sell prints. It has a huge amount of flexibility. It allows you to watermark your art. Deviantart is a perfectly fine alternative for artists and fanartists.
Honestly, Elicia wouldn’t give 1 (one) corn chip to a site that is up to something sneaky, so if she says it’s good that’s all I need to know.
My main issue with that post going around about the Hot Topic art theft is that it isn’t actually theft. The DA post is a fake, and the art itself was officially licensed.
That doesn’t mean you don’t still have risks—as with any site, you should protect your art. But the third party boogeyman is Tumblr hysteria. Deviantart DOES sell your art, yes, but it’s onlyto people you choose to sell it to in the form of prints if you choose to license your art that way.
