RE: Indisputable Evidence of @akarantain Being an Intentional Art Plagiarist and a Poseur.
Every artist begins by copying what is accepted. Then subsequently innovate from that copied work with their own style. As long as they made something new from an existing inspiration, it's innovation and not really plagiarism.
Pepsi is a beverage plagiarist with your logic.
I suppose even the Old Masters are plagiarists for copying their previous master's work with your logic.
Aren't you the same person that wrote this?:

Have a wonderful day.
The only wrong I she did was not citing the source of her inspiration. What she's doing is part of what any beginning artist would likely do Copy and then internalized their own version until they find their preferred form. When I wrote that post, I wrote it thinking about blatant plagiarism post, those that just copy and paste with added filters on their post. No real effort like starting from scratch and built your own style to it. There are worst cases and those are the lazy ones who don't bother to edit.
I read your mentioned link prior to commenting and with those definitions, I'm also plagiarist. My art style can include some Tim Burton inspired works but I didn't stare at an image long just to get every bit of detail onto it, just the impression. I still copied the style and turned it into my own. Some of my works were also inspired by tribal drawings with modern tattoo-ish accents. You see the dragon image I frequently repost. The style came from multiple inspirations that it's impractical to cite some anatomy books and coloring books. In short, I learned from those that came before me. Sounds like the Old masters learning from their predecessors.
You can even say Sakimichan, and all the other fan artists out there are plagiarists with those definitions. You even mentioned fan art being a tolerated offense, that implies it's still an offense, might as well hound the fan artists that will post in the platform on your list too.
There's nothing original about my works. It's been done before. The difference is I made it and I didn't go online to look for the same idea. By the time I made some of my works and published them online, someone else from some unknown location and distant date beat me to the composition, content, and form of it but the difference is I made the piece. It's not rare for an artist to create works they don't know other artists already did so. They could draw up from the same inspirations and by coincidence come up with a similar outcome but not necessarily an intent of plagiarism.
What do you think about this case? Aoi Ogata and Kyrie Which one do you think is a plagiarist? I'll save you the story. The former came first and the latter was taught by the former and now it's difficult to tell which one apart without the mark. Are they plagiarizing each other? I'm learning from their works and slowly adapting their style, I'm also trying to learn from WLOP. My latest work was inspired by those two artists based from the impression I got from watching their works.
The first art post I published on steem blockchain orginally resembled Red Riding Hood doodle. Didn't think I was already committing plagiarism by your standards. I appreciate your effort of trying to rid the platform or art plagiarism but your approach is doing more harm than good. The art community has already made their statement about approach and it's clear that it's not the way to go.
I look at Akarantain as an artist that just emulates other people's works until she learns to find her own style. Part of her own training. I think it's more of a miscommunication of what expected from her. I do agree on the lack of mentioning the source of inspiration is disappointing but it's not a gross offense to merit this much attention.
