Kemono Party
Added 2025-05-21 15:26:49 +0000 UTCI just want to talk about this site for a second. If you haven't heard of it, good. Just know it's a scummy website that rips art from sites like Patreon and posts them up for free, even if the piece isn't publicly available yet. Reposting without permission is theft, full stop.
My work, as well as countless other artists, many of whom I call friends, have been posted to the site and when confronted about it, the site admin basically tells you to go fuck yourself. Patreon itself is unhelpful as they claim there's nothing they can do since Kemono is located outside the US.
I implore you to steer clear of Kemono and encourage others to do so as well. Artists use sites like Patreon to help support themselves and their families financially, and supporting theft sites will only lead to your favorite artists ceasing to make the content you enjoy.
Also, I know this post will get ripped and posted to Kemono, so if you're reading this there, please know that you're no fan of mine and you can kindly go fuck yourself.
