I will forever believe that Adolfin is an idiot, but I do feel that people are clutching at straws when taking issue with her art posting.
Realistically, the extent of the issue should be that she posts art without posting the exact source of where the art came from, because she only credits the artist and most users on that subreddit are too lazy to bother looking up the name because it requires additional effort on their part. Without her taking appropriate care to direct traffic to where it should go, it can come across as Karma-whoring.
But I've seen some daft arguements from users about it, like how apparently she's meant to ask for an artist's permission before posting their work, which is laughable. An artist that posts their work to a public platform shouldn't require permission for their art to be posted elsewhere, because it is public. It is unwritten etiquette of the internet for people to post the source of where the art came from, which directs traffic to them. In a lot of cases, if art is unsourced it gets posted by someone else, and/or the user is chastised for not doing so. Obviously it depends on the community, some are more lax about it than others, but it's incredibly unrealistic for an artist to expect the entire internet to specifically ask them if they can post their work.
I feel that people who find issue with her because she's doing literally anything related to posting art completely miss the point.
Edit:
It seems as if Adolfin lurks Kiwifarms. She posted this around three or four hours after I made my post; give-or-take an hour before I made this edit. Due to the timing and the sheer amount of similar terminology she uses, I fail to see this as anything but an almost direct quote.
