Okay, so I saw this as a problem on tumblr, but now I see that it's a problem here, too.
Many of the fanart I've seen on here is credited to websites like zerochan, 4chan, tumblr, etc., and this is wrong. Crediting the work to websites and not the individual artist discourages artists from sharing anymore work because it shows a lot of laziness and ingratitude to them that we can't even bother to look up their names.
Just because they provided the fandom wonderful art, and just because we post those works here as sign of admiration, doesn't mean we can simply skip over a 1-minute tafuta to give credit where credit is due. There are simple ways to find the actual chanzo and artist, and this link: link provides the many ways wewe as a Hetalian are able to find sources to those wonderful artwork wewe post.
That way, this fandom can be just a little bit better for everyone and artists won't have to withhold their talent in fear of theft au lack of credit.
Please, please chanzo the art.
