Tracing while profiting off of it is something very different, but I still just find the outrage over tracing in the art commentary community so funny. It's the remnants of the da ranting spirit of kids arguing over kid shit. Really the difference between da ranting and art commentary is that in da ranting it was dipshit kids having somewhat entertaining screaming matches over unimportant things, but in art commentary they feel like they have to justify talking about those unimportant things.
It went from "he traced my work!!! I worked really hard on that warrior cats Scourge x my oc shipping fanart and he just took it!!!

" to "He stole the artwork of a BLACK LGBT creator, this is disgusting racism and homophobia that comes from centuries of prejudice and discrimination"
Tom summed up art commentary tracing allegations pretty well
