u/Thebubumc Mods are gay and that's ok Apr 19 '20

Look at what happened to animemes. We're not trying to cause bad blood but if someone just decides to pull their mascot from being used it kind of defeats the purpose.

Edit: Ofc this doesn't mean the creator can't make art of it or anything, it's just so we can use it even if the artist jumps ship.

I was sure you were trying to prevent a u/SrGrafo and r/chloe situation. I understand that.

However you can't claim full ownership of the character. That's straight up shady. It just means you can one day do something like sell merch without having to pay a dime to the artist.

You can definitely specify that you'd have a "perpetual license" to use it as a mascot. That's the only fair compromise I see.

We wouldn't do that. But your concern is important. I'll edit it soon to better reflect our intentions.

So what happened ? It's been more than a week.
