There's also a difference between wanting privacy and wanting to be credited for your work. When the thief can just.not do it, that's the only similarity. Saying 'Just suck it up' really isn't the same as being robbed, since someone choosing to steal and edit your art is significantly different in context to breaking into someones house and stealing all their physical valuables. Just 'cause everyone only comes here to fap doesn't make the artists magically less important. The point is that it shouldn't have been posted in the first place.
