Makin' my blorbos smooch is what gets me through the hard times

Rundown: [community profile] 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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

a lot of fanart i embedded in my characters' info pages/profiles are broken now because of artists deleting their twitter accounts en masse. i don't blame them for it and i'm glad i had at least hyperlinked all the tweets so i could confirm what had happened when i saw the missing images, but it's just kind of a bummer and i have no motivation to fix any of it.

oof that's rough anon

it probs won't help your case here, but for future ref, this is why i always download the pic and re-upload it to a separate image hosting site like imgur, and then place a link to the artist's account/art post directly below it. that way there's still credit, but it's at least a bit less likely that the image itself breaks due to stuff like this

do you guys not know that there's image hosting on dw

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
there didn't used to be, and if someone set up all their stuff pre-hosting, they wouldn't think of a reason to change that if twitter was their base, since twitter didn't seem to be going anywhere.

it's been around at least since i joined five years ago

dw has literally always had image hosting and twitter has literally always been buggy

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
or just use plurk. you can get high quality image hosting for plurk coins.

Free accounts can use it, tho I think there are some limitations (you don't get as much storage, at least). The option is under "create" right beneath the upload icons link.

op

i actually used to use imgur for all my image hosting years ago! then i got lazy and started using a private discord server for image hosting... then that broke... and then twitter broke...

whoops, i should've stayed put on imgur

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
... you embedded images from twitter??

(Anonymous) 2024-11-23 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
this

you never direct link from the source. ever. clearly you did not grow up with people changing direct links to goatse

(Anonymous) 2024-11-23 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Why must you dredge up the memory of goatse? I thought I'd finally lost that memory

I still use goatse for important business reasons (spamming it in fake scam WhatsApp groups I’m added to)

how many of those artists consented to you using their fanart?

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
the fanart they posted on the internet of someone else's character, used by someone (with a credit link) on a tiny rp site, rping someone else's character?

anon, in a time where ai art and sourceless grabs are at an all-time high on infinitely bigger sites like instagram and what have you...

is your time really being best spent policing people who are even directly credit linking the fan media they're using. on an obscure journaling site. where everyone is using others' intellectual properties to play barbie dolls.


is it really

keep fighting that good fight anon

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
person using designs from an existing work without asking the creator, to promote their art and make money from commissions, on big social media sites: good

person using credited fanart without asking the creator, to decorate a journal for roleplay from an existing work for 0 dollars, on an obscure site: bad

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
that is exactly what anon said gj lol

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
how many of those writers consented to you using their characters to rp with is the real question...

(Anonymous) 2024-11-22 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
mte....

like i get the spirit ig but also it's always so strange to me when people try to guilt about using stuff without creator permission on the site where, overwhelmingly, people are using stuff without creator permission and straight up calling it a hobby

on the comm for that hobby specifically, no less

we're already the weird unoriginal fucks that can't just settle for fanfic in the eyes of the rest of the writing scene lol, none of us have much of a moral pedestal to hop onto here
