"For instance, pornographic fanart of a character not really meant to be ---
is basically straight up sexual harrassment"
Do you hear yourself? Good luck accusing general R34 artists who makes specific art that is completely optional and isn't actually being forced on the actual original creators as some kind of "bad fan" or some kind of *checks notes* sexual harasser.? Remember the difference between a purely fictional character and the actual creator. Someone making certain smut off Bugs Bunny and posting it on their own deviantart page is not by default harassing the creator by default. Just because they made it doesn't mean the art effects the original.
Also, my god, an original creator not liking someone's harmless and non-threatening fan-art doesn't magically mean they are in the moral right to censor it. I'm not going to feel bad for making purely harmless fictional gore off snoopy if I ever chose to do so. It's stuff like this as to why some are preferring AI art over artists if many artists are just going to try to act like they are in the moral right to censor certain fanfiction. I don't want many good artists replaced but my god you're making it very hard convinced people.
