If the Know Your Meme people are listening, they can take note (please do!). I’ve even said this before! On this very same subject. Twitter is basically the worst thing to have within arms reach when you’re cranky.Īnd because things that you say live on the internet forever, I still get people talking about how these traced comics upset me, because for all they know, I said that yesterday. But the thing about living on the earth is, your opinions can change over time, and also, you have good days and bad days where you are a cranky poo poo head on twitter. The thing about saying anything on the internet is that it lives forever. Guess I was really down about memewhore! Memewhore, what a nemesis!

If you go to a site like Know Your Meme, there are even my words there saying so! PRESERVED FOREVER, to my embarrassment. I think when it started happening a lot, I was seeing it everywhere, and didn’t know what to make of it.

However, since expressing her disdain, she had changed her stance on how her images can be used, and expressed that she wished she had not done so, and explained that she enjoys seeing derivatives of her work. Kate Beaton has expressed her dissatisfaction with the creation of these redrawn comics on her Twitter, although much of her displeasure comes more from the lack of credit she gets from these spoofs, a problem she has with image-stealing tumblrs as well.

There even exists a whole tumblr devoted to Homestuck versions of Hark! A Vagrant strips.
