THIS STUFF IS SOOO IMPORTANT TO KNOW.  Seriously.  It’s saved my ass before.

What do you do when you look through the peephole and see a badge?

1. Remember: You do not have to let the police in the house unless they have a warrant — or probable cause. If you’re having a party, turn off the music, ask your guests to chill, and ask that anyone who’s too intoxicated carry on in another room.
2. Go outside to speak with the cops. Close the door behind you. Although some scary precedents are being set these days, police cannot enter your home without a warrant or probable cause. By closing the door, you’re cutting off a visual — or olfactory — line to potential probable cause.
3. Be polite. Ask why they are there. “Good evening, Officer. What can I help you with?”
4. Where possible, assure them you will take care of the problem. If the police ask to enter, inform them, “I do not consent to any searches.” If a police officer gives you an order and you are confused about your position, ask, “Do I have to comply?” If they continue with questioning, tell them you’ll need to call your lawyer and that you will not answer any questions.
5. Ask, “Am I free to leave?” This is especially handy if, say, a group of you’d been too bawdy on the patio and an officer stops by. If he/she is getting a bit hot under the collar, politely ask, “Am I being detained?” or “Am I free to leave?” If the cop has no reason to hold you, quickly, quietly, and politely retreat inside.

The POC’s Bill of Rights when it comes to the Police. Remember. These are your rights.

I recently came into contact with a weeaboo who had gotten to go to the Hatsune Miku concert at Anime Expo… And she was ranting about how all the Vocaloids are just cheap knock offs of Miku. Everybody was explaining kindly to her that Miriam, Leon, Kaito, and Meiko had come before Miku. And her…

JESUS TAKE THE FUCKING WHEEL 

actually this is everywhere online

for one

she admitted to plagarism

but I don’t forgive her

because it’s not hard to just give credit

put in the pixiv

HAY GUYS LOOK I USED THIS PICTURE HERE

trust me nobody hates you if you admit to it at first

it’s like admitting you didn’t do your homework

if you…

I understand the referencing, with those I was like, “Well, whatever.” But some of the traces are undeniably traces. I can tell, I’ve seen quite a few traces in my time. 

For one, there’s the magnet case, which made me go into denial for a few minutes. There’s the bike image from JBF where the only legitimate part is the characters themselves, there’s loads of copy-pasting from stock images which yunomi admitted that she didn’t pay for, obvious guitar copy-pasting-editing all over the place, and the rest of the trace cases. Wanna look at them all and tell me they aren’t traced? 

Referencing is when you study the source and use it towards your final goal, like some of them. And then there’s just flat-out shameful plagarism. (The 2ch thread had loads more ones that were beyond references. 

Anyway, done now. 

I’m sorry but if you thought those were just “referencing images” then you’ve never actually tried to legitimately draw. It’s impossible to draw without references.

last-reality reblogged your post: by the way if you think yunomi is worthy of reblogging

that’s kind of…old news…

So?

hate her hate her hate her

uh she uses references so what

she is a good artist

who DOESN’T…

>references that got out of hand 

backgrounds I forgive but um 

TRACING THE ENTIRE FIGURE IS A PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE WAY TO DRAW NOW GUYS

she must be from DeviantART

I don’t care how amazingly she draws those amazing beautiful eyes. Because she does.

I’m unfollowing you.

even if this is old, I’m going to ramble for a moment.

to be honest, 2ch are complete fucking idiots when it comes to this. “holy shit that drawing looks somewhat similar to this picture! they must have traced it and this is bad!”

what happened to…
