Instagram user felciityjones_jynerso (formerly felicity_erso_one) has an account full of reposted fan art and cosplay photos stolen without any credit given the original creators. When I was alerted that she had reposted my Rogue One artwork, I commented and asked, sternly but politely, for her to either credit me for my work or to delete the post. This is the reply I got:
The bottom, which is cut off, read “Now since you care so much about ‘credit’ I’ll give you it. But bear all this in mind next time.”
I’ve already given my thoughts on this appalling and unacceptable reply here. But the story doesn’t end there. Today, the day after all of the above happened, she reposted my art without credit again, with my watermark removed again, and is gloating about it in her caption.
“3rd upload. #idontcarewhoseartthisis” See the clearly edited watermark in the bottom left corner?
Her friend queen.felicityjones also reposted my artwork without credit. I’ve already reported both posts and Instagram (who has been awesome) has already removed both posts.
Look. Normally I abhor callout culture, but this person lost any sympathy she might have gained from me with her second repost, and with her third she has proven herself to be vindictive, petty, and a complete piece of shit. Unfortunately, she has her account set to private now, but if you already follow her, or can get a follow from her, please please PLEASE check to make sure she hasn’t stolen your art or your cosplay photos. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. Before she blocked me, I saw her account was full of stolen content. This is the most blatant disregard and disrepect I have EVER seen leveled at a content creator and we can’t let this stand. I’m doing my best to get her shut down but there’s only so much I can do besides keeping a lookout to see if she reposts again (and I have no doubt that she will, until her account is banned).
