/ruins/ - Kemono Art (Archive)

It's an old news.
I have no idea how he got there in the first place, but he have been venting his frustration at piracy there for like for a year or two.

Either he always had the account to go there, or that he actually register the account specifically to post there.

you are not some kind of cheap ass who would attempt to act like you're on a higher ground an excuse to read stuff for free, are you?

The guy was acting like an entitled cunt (what the fuck is a "real artist") but he's right. It's simply the way western audiences work, people pirate everything, and only a small percentage of people actually buy merch or do commissions, but without that mass attention from piracy nobody would be aware of their work at all. It's a shame (or maybe not, all things considered) that so many jap artists get so butthurt about piracy, when if they tried to understand foreigners a little more they could make bank from patreon and especially commissions for a kemono artist like this guy. Instead he throws temper tantrums and leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouths.

I get not wanting your shit pirated but this is going a bit too far.

I'm not sure if he means that he wanted someone dead or to kill himself. Honestly, I don't want these situations to happen.

But the question is, should we blame the artist or the scanner?

There's no real blame to be had. Both sides are dumb. The person who posted it to ex was stupid for using the same name everywhere, and Kikunyi was dumb for not properly researching the western market before setting out for it. But then again, he did pay some copyright company in anticipation for pirating so maybe he did know pirating was common here but was ignorant about the culture around pirating.
It might be because I'm a weeb, but I feel like I can't blame him too much for being ignorant on a nuance like that either, though.

Agreed.

If I were a scanner, I would probably reconsider uploading things I've scanned.

Dudes better have to save all of his works before he commit Internet suicide.

I think why the author wants to commit suicide reminds of an me furryKemono said that didn't want to kill an author and he censored cover art all the time before he decided to disbale all the censor cover art and left the DoujinDB for no reasons (most likely he commited suicide.

He never comes back, was it because he commited suicide for reprting their doujinshi works.
