As for the "leecher roleplayers" I've, personally, never really gotten why that's even an issue. Who cares if some rando crops and cuts up an image to use it as a character in some rando yiff rp? I mean how does that hurt anyone? When it's just some rando f-list rper I say it doesn't really matter who made the image or paid for the image. These rpers are just using it in their own little games for their own pleasure. If it's just the rp and the like I say let 'em be. Just let 'em get their rocks off or w/e.

Well, here's an example.

My sister's an artist. Her daughter's 11 and is a little baby furry. She made up a fursona the other day and my sister, being supportive, drew it for her.

My sister doesn't keep an art gallery, but if she'd posted it somewhere... well, no one really wants their daughter's fursona being used as the face of f-list's latest loli. and while we can indeed say that if she didn't want that to happen, she shouldn't post it online, but we shouldn't *have* to do that.

Or to bring it a little more directly: no one wants their fursona--their "this is me" character-- to be used as the mask over a sockpuppet made to get people off.

It's kind of like realizing someone took pictures off your face book and is using them to catfish people or whatever.

Only in this case, it might be to turn your beloved avatar into a scat-whore, or to make them to focus of a snuff-RP, or...?

I guess the best answer is to say that it makes some people extremely uncomfortable, and that should be reason enough to not do it, right?
