UGH I KNOW. It drives me craaazy. I totally understand being mad if people passed off your pics as their own or if they made money off what you did. I'd be the first to shout those people down! But not letting people make icons of your pics or letting people gif your videos? Seriously? That just seems terribly selfish or something. Fandom is all about sharing, just like you say. I will never understand it. I've been told that Eastern fandoms aren't built around transformative works like Western fandoms are--it's in our fannish DNA to share and transform EVERYTHING and it isn't in theirs? But that still just boggles my mind. I WANT fans to share as much as possible!
Aerintine says when she's wildly independently wealthy she's going to buy all the best camera equipment and go follow the guys around and take all the pics/video of them and tell people to GO WILD with them and do whatever they want with them. Another reason she's my hero.
