There's this thing. Called plagiarism. Basically defined as "close imitation".
So. You can be inspired by someone else's character, of course.
But when you start stealing, word for word, their headcannons or facts, and changing them, just a little bit, to make them look like 'your own', that's considered stealing.
Honestly, I've noticed more and more of this shit happening. Whether it being on Facebook or on here.
And since I'm not a vague fuckface, I'm just going to point out the direct problem.
:iconaskquinn:
She's probably not the only one that's done this. And no. I'm not trying to 'harass' her, at all.
That's not the point of this.
What I'm saying is, she's basically stole direct quotes from :iconaskxjordan:, and a few from me as well.
Seriously?
Fucking seriously?
You have your own brain. You don't need your OC to be exactly like someone else's, especially when they've worked hard to create a good character, while you've, what, taken multiple facts from a few well-created OC's and thrown them into yours?
And I'm not directing this directly at the Admin of Quinn, at all.
:iconask--riley: has had multiple Headcanons stolen from her Clyde on Facebook.
I've had some stolen by an underdeveloped OC on Facebook as well.

Seriously people. Create your own fucking characters. You have a brain, and, you don't know how pissed off some people get when you steal their original facts that have taken forever to create!
Besides, I've noticed a lot of Mary Sues on here. A lot.

Anyway.. End of my fucking rant. If you actually read all of this, thank you.

TT3TT but im too nice to say anything about it. instead i just complain about it behind the scenes. and i mean it's to the point of almost being a carbon copy of my oc, just because they change the gender doesn't mean it's not the same character. >3< RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGOJIRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and have more ocs i want to make, but im afraid if i share them with the public they will be copycat'ed. *sobs* ))
