        no, I’m pointing it that it’s not one, it’s just the name of the person who said the thing

          Then that make your original comment pointless, as you are calling on me to crop something that you said it’s an ad, while you know it isn’t.

              Huh?!

              not gonna crop out that username? isn’t that an ad for Betty Bowers?

              You’re literally the one calling names adverts, were the first to bring it up, and the other person didn’t say anything on the topic except in response to you.

              Are you confusing OP with someone else?

                beep has become notorious over in [email protected] for sleazily cropping out artist attributions, stating that they consider them to be “ads”. It led to so much uproar that a new mod came in and the community rules were overhauled.

                  beep even uses AI to substantially alter artists’ comics, including dialogue and artistic details. It’s as if he’s sitting there saying “hey slopbot, remove the artist details” and posting whatever he gets back.
