Nevertheless I've never really understood the copyright issue around fanart. You're basically creating art of an existing property , which makes you in away a thief. However I'm not against fanart and there's also a thing called 'creative commons', which encourages to use elements of existing works. So when people are in full donutsteel mode I just feel like shrugging, because you were kinda doing the same thing making you a hypocrite. I understand people don't want other people to get praises for works created by you, but claiming thievery is another thing. In the end you could demand someone to link to the original work (and use a watermark on your work), but that's about it.Tl;dr Donutsteel is hypocrisy.
