Hey guys!
We made it to over 20K views I think late yesterday or early today
Thank you guys so much, this book would literally be nothing without all of you

[insert sentimental mushiness here, complete with an Oscar-esque speech thanking everything under the sun]

Ok
Now I'm being serious

@De_art_masta has persisted to be here on wattpad. I'm almost positive he's a guy based on all of the language and basically just how he acts. As a lot of you know, he's been here for weeks and still continues to post stolen art. He insults everything the typical art thieves do: religion, sexual orientation, the artist being stolen from, etc..

And like any normal human beings, people get mad and fight back.
This is the main problem when dealing with art thieves. People can either beat them into submission, or try being civil and polite. I feel like a broken record right now, but cyber bullying will get you kicked off of Wattpad faster than art theft. It really will.
I get that people are angry, and friends or they themselves are being stolen from and they want to "defend their honor" basically. And they do that by insults.
Now, maybe it works usually but it isn't working with masta. It's fueling the fire and making it worse. He reacts by posting more art, there's more hate, he reacts by posting art, it's a vicious cycle.

Here is my proposal (no, I'm not going to marry someone, my heart is taken by those anime characters that you like and then every single time no matter what anime it is they die):

Ignore him.

Easier said than done, right?

This whole argument falls flat if he's really a she, and I'm not trying to be sexist here but this might be a matter of pride to him because he wants to look strong and confident or whatever in front of people. And when you constantly bombard him with hatred and threats and anger, he can't stop because that would seem like a sign of weakness. So if you ignore him, act like he doesn't exist, a couple things can happen:

• He realizes no one gives a shit about him stealing art anymore and he stops and/or leaves

• He sees his opportunity and leaves because no one is watching him

Ik there are other ways it could go but these are a lot more likely to happen if everyone just ignores him.
Maybe he'll just steal more art because it's a "free pass" but what's the point if no one is there to comment about it, to start fights or rant and rave about how illegal it all is?

So I'm asking all of you; people who have been here since the start, or just found this list, the ghost readers (I see you over there, don't think that I haven't) The odd art thief even-
Spread the word to ignore him. Spam his message board and comments, call people to action, link them over here to this chapter, whatever you have to do. There's still hope to take him down!

I know we can do it!

Until next time!

UPDATE: ACCOUNT WAS TAKEN DOWN BUT THEY MADE A NEW ACCOUNT @de_art_mastaa
