So. Someone Reposted my Work on Yiff.Party

A mutual of mine has informed me that someone, I do not who, has been posting my work on a website called yiff.party without my permission. I have not authorized anyone to repost my artwork and I am working on trying to find a way to remove my work from the site.

I don't know who did this, and I'm not here to point fingers. I am here to express my disappointment that someone would do such a thing without permission or considering my feels on the matter. Now, I do realize I don't post a lot of exclusive content anymore, and I do post work publicly as well on my Twitter and FurAffinity. And I also realize that yiff.party does ask if viewers want to make pledges to the creators they're pirating from. However, it's the principle that someone would go behind my back to distribute everything behind my back that truly disgusts and disappoints me. I have the same sort of feelings about RP accounts reposting my work (which has happened twice so far. I'm not going to jump to conclusions and just assume that whoever did it did so out of disrespect or a desire to pirate what few exclusives I have, for all I know, it was to give my page and work more exposure. However, I do not appreciate it either way. I'm not super stingy about people wanting to use or share my artwork, but I do want to be asked permission first. I don't think that's too much to ask for right? Right?

Anyway, that's about all I wanted to say about the matter. I'm currently in the middle of trying to contact yiff.party to get my stuff taken down but I'm not sure that will happen if I may be brutally honest. Between this and how my schedule changing I'm close to just pulling the plug on Patreon and not worrying about it anymore. But, that's a decision for another day.

Stay safe out there everyone. Every day it seems that this year throws something new at us from wild fires, to pandemics, to riots. No matter what happens, don't give into fear, and remember to be responsible out there. Use your brain, keep calm, and wash your hands regularly.

Pique over and out.
