it's sad. what do people expect when they willing play with characters from canons meant for adults?
it also makes me more afraid to rp het smut because i feel worried that i'll tag that person who can't stand one word or another about a woman's body. this coming from a woman who tends to play as men.
the code is blank. you have to fill in everything from the images to the html color codes you want. and if it isn't the right size you have to adjust that yourself as well. you don't even get the base colors this person used for the original navigation code.
the layout by pagans just says not to take out the style credit. if trace did, that's on her. and honestly so what if she has had a code made by them? she isn't parading around telling people she coded the layout. as i already pointed out she is being straightforward about doctoring the layout for you for a fee.
you can't rip someone off if you're being straightforward about doctoring their codes. it'd be different if it said on either codemakers page not to use their stuff for commission. hell, the layout coder even admits the layout is a bitch to navigate. the only thing trace is guilty of is being an asshole, and this is assuming she didn't ask anyone if she could use their stuff for pretendy funtimes backgrounds and layouts.
the wallpaper makes even LESS sense because nowhere on her commission page does it say she's drawing original work for you to slap onto a layout. people use fanart all the time and they very frequently don't credit the artist. this happens a lot with icons as well.
that's more of the OC's players fault for not sticking with a game or thinking up a interesting premise. you said it yourself, there's plenty of OCs to go around, and it should work.
OC players should like playing with other OC players just fine.
stop diagnosing other people on the Internet with autism just because they have traits that overlap. please. like shit she might have autism wtf do I know, but apparently she hasn't said she does at least. either way she seems p harmless from what I can tell. but you acting like you're helping autistic people by diagnosing someone over the Internet and waving it like a blanket excuse for whatever behaviors people are complaining about?
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if most of these people have no clue how many tags on average they do a month, they just saw a three-digit number and lost their shit.
bro, you can buy a manual to build a house or check one out for the library for free but people are still going to pay a contractor to get that shit built.
how do you steal edits? i don't get what your panties are in a twist over. so she decided to charge people. so what? they should have done it first.
a long time ago i played hange and got the weirdest pm from someone from tumblr about her gender. talked to other hange players and it looks like a lot of us hange-players got the same pm.
you have no idea what dw's base css code looks like, do you? it takes a lot of cleaning up just to make it look like it's been stripped down because there are a shit ton of inherited values and you have to delete and recode each one of those to get a uniform "all white" look. it's a lot of time to clean up codes and make them ready for customising. she's making money off someone else's work, which is amazing considering the layout coder themselves takes coding commissions.
and i checked the page sources on her examples, the credit lines are missing on all of them.
she's making money off of customising a free resource. let's be clear on that. if the layout coder wants to make the money, fine that's cool but then they need to line that out in their rules for using the code so this doesn't happen to them.
otherwise i have zero sympathy.
and as i said if she stripped off the credits that's on her.
they said there AREN'T enough OCs to go around. learn to read. nobody said anything about OC players being unhappy to play with one another, either. we don't have to go and sit in our own isolated little sandbox just to appease entitled fandom players.
i'd have pm'd them back along the lines of "feel free not to tag me or read my posts" with a tone depending on how sanctimonious the initial message was. any further harassment, fuck'em.
Re: ITT: PEOPLE WHO ARE BUTTHURT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MORE FREE TIME THAN THEM
I used to play a character who said "bitch" fairly often and after literally over a year of playing this character I got screamed at by a fellow player who called the character a misogynist (the problematic language is their only real misogynist trait) and me a misogynist for playing them and said I was straight-up triggering them every time I posted about his good qualities because he's obviously the scum of the earth.
