rpanons | 6 bacons

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

I do agree about really aggressively photoshopped ones or manga colors because there's a level of actually doing some art/graphic design there. It starts pushing it into someone deserving to be paid for their work.

But a lot of icons don't have that much work into them. Putting DNS on basic crop + slap a filter is fucking stupid. You're basically trying to claim small pictures of the canon are yours just because you resized and tweaked them slightly.

Even then, for a more complicated set, I don't get too fussy about it either. And while I'm not going to hold other iconmakers at gunpoint, I am going to be a little judgey if they're that curmudgeonly. I don't think they're pure evil just that they're Grinches.

As someone who routinely commissions colored manga icons, I put DNS if the person I commissioned doesn't specify what they prefer, because I feel it's only fair that if someone else uses them, they get the colorist's permission. The colorist was paid for an icon set, but if it gets stolen and used by a ton of people who might not credit them for their hours of coloring work, it can kind of suck for them.

Icon crediting for colorists is advertisement for their work and a potential source of future commissions.

Yep, we're on pretty much the same page.
