on the plagiarism post

all i saw was two similar paintings so i published the submission, which i was careless

to me personally, i’m not an artist at all so maybe that blurs my view of the line to cross between inspiration and straight-up copying, but then there’s also traditional designs that are everywhere and idk to me, it’s a big grey area unless it’s like detail for detail then i think it’s obvious

idk w/e

really sorry to the artist, i was wrong, i should’ve looked into it and thought about it more, and i’ve deleted the post

also thank you to the person who actually sent me a good argument as opposed to the person who called me an idiot which was VERY RUDE
