Some things ought to be clarified, as I have only now been made aware about some bullshit;
Last night, I commented on this post by @skeptic.
The post is a pewdiepie video in which he mocks a silly white girl going on about how she is a persecuted black girl. I found the video somewhat hilarious, and so decided to comment.
If you go and read the thread you will see that I was being very polite, and you might even note my making an active effort to try and diffuse the situation when I first noticed him acting drunk and pissy, but nevertheless he had somewhat of a breakdown. I have to share this because of what this dude said to me during the random verbal assault.
Hell atleast you stopped using my old avatar on this platform.
LMFAO!
Now it needs to be clarified that if @skeptic made the following image;
-then I did steal it. But I did so by typing "laughing emoji" or "laughing smiley" into google- I don't recall for sure but it does not matter because I checked and they both return the image- and very close to the top too if you use the search tools to select the ones that are labeled "for reuse." -- which I always mostly do when looking for images to use on Steemit.
Now at first I just found the accusation that I was trying to imitate this random person to be somewhat hilarious, and incredibly arrogant. But he had admitted to being drunk so arrogance is expected. However, he then made it clear he truly believed this and has apparently posted about it in the past.
To any who believe I stole this person's work- which will be no one who actually knows me- allow me to clarify a few things.
- I acquired the image through a google search made with the intent of uncovering free-to-use images. I'm no thief.
- Even if I had chosen not to find this image in the way I did, and had just taken one with a copyright on it, that still would not make this theft of this idiot's work. My old avatar was a fucking avatar. I never posted the image of it saying, "hey, look at this cool image I designed myself." People follow me because of my words and my mind, not because of how good my basic emoji of an avatar is. I fucking hope at least.
I have nothing more to say on this matter.
