not submission. I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing. Cause like, no? Just because they are your oc doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. If you want to make your oc suffer and not like them get help, you deserve to lose rights over them. Especially if you only do that stuff to purposely trigger people. Once you do that, your oc no longer belongs to you. they belong to the public who will take better care of them instead

Making a comment to get this to post.

You do not get to take someone else’s OCs for yourself just because you don’t like how their creator is treating them.

I’m absolutely adding this to my Online Entitlement collection. Raymond’s already on there.

this reminds me of the time that someone asked me to change my name because they had bad memories of someone named trixie

god what a wild day

I took the liberty of harvesting more examples from the notes. This genre of guy is an invasive species to fandom and freelance art spaces alike.

I remember someone I used to rp with threatened to stop being friends with me over a nickname my character was using for another character that wasn’t even theirs. Like, a completely separate third party person owned this character.

Invasive species, you say? Time to make the entire area so fucking inhospitable they starve.

Copyright law??? Only the creator gets rights over their creation.

The only reason fanfiction is possible is because fanfic isn’t generally monetized. That’s why AO3 bans patreon and ko-fi links.

You can’t claim rights over someone’s work because you think they’re doing it wrong.
