All I'm really saying is to use a tripcode for anything other than a shitpost. Of course this is even more retarded if Marbo actually uses a tripcode to post content, so that means anons made a comic complaining about derpibooru stealing attribution from 4chan, while stealing Marbo’s attribution and giving it to 4chan.

Yes I’m aware he isn’t the only one drawing snowmares. But just because 4chan tricked you all into posting there doesn’t make you 4chan. People posting snowmares on derpibooru are just as good as you are, and it’s stupid to rally around a culture under the total control of a commercial data mining company known for screwing people over.

Bottom line is you are not 4chan. You are 4chan’s livestock.

Oh also I’m saying don’t post pony on 4chan. They openly hate ponies, they will screw with you, and they don’t allow even suggestive art. /mlp/ is a containment board, and anyone posting there is a dumbass for doing so.

Heck if I know how it went down. I don't go to 4chan. Marbo was a fool for posting it anon in the first place though, and whoever told him that was a good idea is the dumb guy in my picture up there. I’m glad the rest of you convinced him to use a tripcode. Not that I'll give you any credit for it, because… you didn't use a tripcode.

@skybrook
Nigger do you realize it was made by an anon, and then other anons asked him to pick an name to follow on the boorus?
Learn the culture, retard.

There's a culture to chans; it's not as simple as an artist posting a thing once and it getting claimed, stripping it from the artist. It's a community of shared anonymity which many people enjoy and seek out participation in. It feels amazing to make something and share it anonymously, then find it showing up in other places and shared around because people love it.

Anonymity is a critical part of /mlp/ culture. Specifically, the best feature of anonymity is that every post is judged entirely by its own merit. You can make an abhorrent post and get slammed for it or get ignored, then turn around minutes later and make an insightful post which gets good responses and drives the shared culture forward. You never have to worry about being judged for your past posts or history. You're free to grow and change and be completely yourself.

The issue with namefags is that they historically have used their identity to seek attention. That severely upends the comfiness of anon culture, causing posts to be judged by a person's identity rather than by the individual post's content. When anons complain against namefags, I don't think it's that they want to steal content from them and claim it as their own. Anons just want to keep the comfy focus on objective content rather than identity.

It still is apparent who is the artist with a lot of the art made there. A lot of anons like following certain artists once they notice their style. Then there's some artists who only ever post anonymously, never with an artist tag or signature or an external account on any art sites, and that's how they like to keep it.

Not sure if I misinterpreted what you were trying to say in the meme or not. In any case, it's not worth hostility over. I think it's funny that this edit causes so much salt

It's uh… not supposed to be a masterpiece. It's not any worse than the source image.

How does it hurt the point that 4chan gets the credit when you post anon?

Sky. This is poorly made and hurts both your and whatever counterpoints arise from this, 2/10 please apply self.

You… just wished a fate worse than death on someone for agreeing with you.

It’s funny because everyone knows and loves marbo. Stay mad and sad, your life will only get worse.
