guys why, why do you want to steal art? To be popular? To get hearts and stars and comments saying "I love your art" every four minutes? One way or another, they'll see what you're hiding, the true owner of the art, and all the love, praise, and followers you had will be gone faster than migrating birds. This proves some of you only care about the superficial, and I get that, it's amazing to be seen as an idol, someone to look up to and admire. But that's not the way to achieve popularity. If that's really what you want, you have to work hard. Yes, it will take time, Yes, you won't get 50 followers in one day. But you know, it will be worth looking back and thinking how far you've gone. Now, this isn't just about popularity, it's about stealing. Art theft is serious, it's wrong, it's immoral, why? You're going to take a piece someone worked hard on, and use it, no credit, claiming it as your own? That's messed up, and I hope if you ever do something like that, you stop before you fall too deep into the rabbit hole. I'm serious, stealing, lying, all of that may seem small now. 'Oh, I'll just get called out, banned, I can just create a new account and start over.' No. That is not how real life works. What you probably don't realize is that even if you delete an account, your footprint, traces of you are left there forever. People take screenshots, make their own projects, and will have evidence of what you did. If you don't learn to differentiate right from wrong, who knows, maybe you'll grow up to steal work, possesions or do other crimes, and you'll think you will get away with it. Habits get harder to break with time, and if you don't make an effort to stop, you'll be haunted by that muscle memory to do what is wrong. I'm really frustrated to be seeing these cases pop up more frequently in our community, and it's just, disappointing, most of these people are tweens or early teens, and it's sad too see other people like me, like us, wasting their time on here stealing art. All of you, think about this, and if you're really willing to spend your time with the guilt of stealing someone else's work. It's not cool, not funny, not right. Thank you, Luz
