I have brought this up over on furaffinity many, MANY times. And since the problem persists...Im wondering if its people on Deviantart. I dont know where its steming from, but people are using my fursona.
You see, if it were simply some of my other characters it wouldnt be that big of a deal...but when people go and use my fursona I get EXTREMELY pissed. I have found Tartii being used in several roleplaying sites, on facebook and other places. People go so far as to try and be me, and even change tartii's sexual orientation. (shes not sexual at all wtf.)
If you find people who are using my character, please ask them nicely to remove it. If it is not removed, contact me and I will personally confront them.
On the same note, I have found somebody on this site called....roleplayer.me
I have made an account just to contact said person.
[link]Thats my account. I will not link their account...not unless they refuse to take it down. But several of my art there has been posted. It seems people do not understand the time and effort and the sheer LOVE I hold for my creations. Tartii is INCREDIBLY personal to me, she is my heart. Stealing and using her without a second thought causes me great pain, and Im trying my best to tell as many people as possible to not use her.
"Oh, it's on the internet, I can use it, then!"
Eh, no. That's not how it goes, people.
as for character theft really thats pretty difficult unless someone reports them to you.
I'm sorry to here you are having this problem though (can't people create their own characters any more?)
