@SkyeXNero @PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson If you're gonna be presumptious at least read the original post as this very platform deemed it necessary to add context as people thought he was stealing his art. Be consistent with your views instead of blindly following

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson Again, what Nintendo decides to do is irrelevant from Toeis decision making, they are different companies.

If you think they Toei wouldn't protect their work against larger operations, i dont know what to tell ya. Its simply not worth it for the reasons I already mentioned

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@JackoJaxko2 @MicrowaveArson @ramoncargol Dawg I literally just said its not worth public perception to do this 😭😭😭

Just cause its not worth it doesnt mean its not copyright theft and it would Toeis right to do so. Keep in mind making and selling fanart are two different things

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@SkyeXNero @PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson He does! In that case why neglect to give full context causing the situation to escalate needlessly? That was flat out irresponsible and comes off as malicious for what could have been a reasonable convo

This situation is entirely hypocritical, with some theft being permitted

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson Apologies I didn't! Its not worth the time, resources, or public perception to go after these small cases. But if you think for second they won't step in for a larger op idk what to tell ya

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson Rhoady is selling fanart of Kefla to which he confirmed and general consensus has confirmed. This is not his own work, its a derivative product he technically has no right to sell as its not his

I already addressed your second point. You cant compare different company actions

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@SkyeXNero @PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson This was not mentioned in the original post and not conveyed to TJ. No attempt to settle this was made prior, Rhoady made a poorly worded statement which caused the situation to blow up excessively. Literally no attempt to have conversation was had

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson Brother people dislike AI because it takes people's work, bastardizes it, and pushes out as its own product without permission. AI does this on a larger scale but both are fundamentally taking something and pushing a derivative product, with Rhoady profiting literally profiting

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@JackoJaxko2 @MicrowaveArson @ramoncargol Cause who tf wants to spend their time defending a million dollar organization? If Toei did decide to go after one of these artists it would be their right to as it is their work, but its simple not worth the time, resources, or public perception

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@MicrowaveArson @ramoncargol ....no? Its simply not worth the resources to address these small issues they would go broke and its time consuming. Still considered copyright theft by all rights

Creating fanart and and selling it without permission are two different things

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@PhotonGiga @MicrowaveArson Dawg what you're describing and saying is okay is textbook copyright theft, what tf are we talking about. So you're okay with some art theft but not ones that result from AI? Be consistent smfh

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@MicrowaveArson @ramoncargol Yes. You're still taking someone else's work without permission- again its simply not worth it to go after small ops like this. End of the day Rhoady is profiting over something that isn't his, be consistent with your views

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@Squids_R @Disgusting_Xin @Sape_master Yes? If general consensus can recognize the character as Kefla, by definition its not something that is transformative. Both AI and Rhoady are fundamentally doing the same thing, Rhoady is literally profiting over someone else's work

Also that ain't the art work in question btw

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@image_thug @GenericAtHere @the_bomber100 Brotha you're are supposed to ask permission to be able to sell, otherwise they are quite literally profiting over someone else's work. Both AI and Rhoady are fundamentally taking something that isn't theres and reproducing it, only again Rhoady is profiting directly

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@LeFeverSax @HeyUniverss @SoKhalill Bruh we cant be having this convo while not recognizing that Rhoady is quite literally profiting iver work that isn't his (Kefla). What are we even doing?

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@nel_lol_ @boneherguy @IT_Strife @Minatos_Flash You result to personal insults because you're wrong. If general consensus can all recognize the art as Kefla, Rhoady is literally profiting over a derivative product that he has not right to sell

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@Snukkems_Art @GenericAtHere @koakissy The work is not transformative at all, its derivative. If general consensus can take a look at the art and recognize Kefla, then be definition its not transformative.

The only one violating copyright here is Rhoady as he's directly profiting over Toeis work

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@Intomenisntok @updog @Mchlporter @Rhoady2000 @BEASTM0DE5 @tjayerrday Dude the character in question is Kefla and Rhoady has stated it was her, essentially confirming that he profited off art that quite literally is not his

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@Minatos_Flash Im sorry did Rhoady ask Toei's permission to sell what is by all right their work?

[DelusionalSaint @DelusionalSain1]

@Minatos_Flash Dude Rhoady by all standards has no right to sell the work, he's quite literally taking another artists work and selling it as his own product making slight changes at best (still making the work derivative). You truly dont see the hypocrisy in this?

This is genuinely absurd
