But anyway, that’s never happened before, and not something we really have a contingency plan for if it did happen. Most likely, we’d just feature whatever image won second in the vote.
I started randomly wondering - what would happen if someone requested a takedown of their art that was being featured?
Ridiculously unlikely, but artists can be weird like that sometimes, and it’s just a funny situation.
Only tangibly related, but I saw discussion about an artist once, I don’t remember exactly which image board it was, might’ve been pony-related, might not have, but they absolutely did not want any of their art on the internet. Like, they did art for themselves and friends and would send the art directly to said friends, but under no circumstances wanted it online and of course some people he sent stuff to uploaded it. And then he melted down and went to every site his stuff was on and demanded it all be deleted. It wasn’t even a reputation thing like with some artists who don’t want their explicit stuff online and connected to them. He just didn’t want any of his art online, period. And the only people he wanted to see it were ones he explicitly chose, which meant they weren’t supposed to share it with anyone themselves either.
I just can’t imagine being like that. Why even be an artist if you refuse to let anyone other than people you’ve approved of individually see your art? Sounded like he had severe control issues.
