For context the person in red (dark red is their sock account) was boasting about mass reporting the artist for art theft on their blog to get them banned from all the sites they’re posting art on so the “I’m not accusing you of art theft” is a lie and they’re trying to keep their trolling civil so it doesn’t get removed
Definitely, and thank you for doing that. I didn’t mean to say it’s weird to stand up for someone else, I’d do the same and I’d hope someone else would if my art was ever stolen. The important part here is bringing proof. The fact that they didn’t do that strongly suggests they either were careless and messed up or, as apparently seems more likely, intentionally throwing out false accusations on behalf of some third person, the reasons for which baffle me.
Oh for sure. Either they were jealous or can’t admit they made a mistake (and were unnecessarily antagonistic).
