the NEVER ENDING CYCLE OF PEOPLE STEALING THINGS ON INSTGRAM, and then arguing and lying when they are caught.
So this person made an entire account of stolen images, mostly with no credit, and the few she did she got wrong. IN this example, crediting this fishbutt tail as merbellas. I found it while searching the merbellas tag which led me to the entire account.
I did the usual first thing first, try to be polite, reach out and explain to them, and you get shot down with arguments and lies... They deleted some of the comments but I was able to screen shot part of the conversation
this sort of thing drives me mad. -_- don't argue and lie. The worst is when they just say they found on google and can do whatever they want.
Now, when I approach people nicely and they dont listen I always reblog and tag the mermaids involved (because when you comment more often than not the OP just deletes your comment) as you can see from the comments on my screen shot the girl apologized and deleted all the stolen images. I appreciate people back tracking and doing the right thing, but it's frustrating to have to call them out publicly to get them to actually do it.
And queue this savanah girl calling me a bully and whatever. I figure if I approach you nicely and you don't listen, and everything you post is public, I can show it to others and notify the involved parties. I ALWAYS reblog when people steal my stuff if I ask them to remove it and they don't. Like reblogging on tumblr and putting credits back in.
this is a NEVER ENDING battle in the mermaid world. The same old excuses are always thrown around and it drives me nuts. People usually back track when you call them out at least but everytime I browse the mermaid tags on any site it's just stolen image after stolen image and so often manipulated.
I think we need some sort of awareness campaign. I might start another thread. I think it would be cool to create some mermaid images with texts about why people shouldn't steal the photos and remove credits that everyone can share around. It might not solve the problem totally but man, it could at least be a start. I am tagged every other day by mermaids on the look out for stolen stuff! And I know there's this famous photo of Iona's tail that gets stolen constantly, and a famous photo lorelei took that gets stolen constantly.
oh yes, and the never ending comments on my BOOK advertising video, you know where I talk about being a PERFORMING mermaid as a job...
Ugh. I have this issue with the Umbreon costume I made my dog.
This makes me wonder.. Have my merman pictures been stolen a lot on instagram?
I do not use this application.
I just saw that my youtube page puts comments in a que for me to approve without notifying me they are there, though I have it set up to do so... Awesome...
So I went through them and pulled out some of the ones I get to add to this flailing chaos of derpness.
I am (very) surprised there were none calling me "whale" and all sorts of other uncreative ways to announce that I am fat, as if I was some how unaware, but these were the ones that made me sigh the loudest:

oooookay, so what does this have to do with "Jesus Christ"? Some people are...yeah, just really fucking stupid.
Anywho, I find it funny how so many people complain about how they notice that your tail is obviously fake then call you a liar. Well, if they'd pay attention they wouldn't have to waste time making themselves look like idiots not only by their comments but also by their horrible grammar.
I am assuming he might have been really religious, muslim etc. and found your pictures explicit...I don't see how it's any of his business regardless.
If you really want to mess with him, say "there is no place for the carpenter's son here."
