Unless the portrait makers want to sue you, the technical meaning of fair use is not a factor in this.

Crystal has been trying to tell you that you're wrong, but you seem to be in this magical fairy-land in which you're never wrong about anything, even art theft, because fucking Shrek will die for your sins. She's been trying to spell it out for you but you can't hear her over your pride.

Dear Amino users. We're basically telling you that no matter what kind of rules you have over there, no matter how lazy you are, credit the fucking portraits mayhaps? Or piss off back to your own hellhole and make your own from scratch.

Get out, this was no invitation for you to pop on over here and argue that art theft is okay, this was for Fanon members to discuss how to deal with you people. I wasn't arguing that art theft was okay. I also want to explain that people aren't stealing full portraits, but Amino users are using PORTRAIT PIECES and MAKING THEIR OWN PORTRAITS. There was never a point in time I was arguing that it was okay to steal full portraits. I have no idea where that came from.

Also, you say this isn't a courtroom, but you bring up the fact that people would sue me, which would take this to court. So that fact your trying to make kind of contradicts itself.

I'm just trying to prove a point as to why your complaints about the Amino and everything else was pointless. I was not working on a "Pride" fulfillment, nor am I in a "magical fairytail land".

I've just been bringing up facts. That's all. This entire controversy of art theft is pointless, because full portraits aren't even being taken from here. The parts are being used to make new portraits. End of story.

/sigh

I didn't ever mention taking full portraits, and I was explicitly saying nobody was going to sue you. Literally everything you just said is objectively incorrect and makes no sense. I clearly meant that yall need to credit your parts.

Anyhow, pack your shit and leave, this discussion is for this wiki's community, not Amino members who wanna butt in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Like I said, this is not a courtroom, these are Yan SIm fan sites. This is art theft. End of story.

You just said "Portraits" and not "Portrait Parts" or similar caliber, therefore assumed full portraits.

The Amino rules don't follow the Fanon wiki rules. We don't have to credit every individual part. We just cannot claim that the parts are ours.

"* Claiming authorship over art that is not your own" Taken straight from the Guidelines.

Personally I will leave, but not because I am just "an Amino member who wants to butt in", but because you fail to listen to any of my arguments and just simply twist my words.

I'm leaving because I'm done dealing with pointless bullshit that will get you nowhere.
