The reason that all this happened is because too many Americans thinks it’s cool and funny to be ignorant assholes. It’s not funny.

Someone on tumblr asked if there was a reason her name is Hat (no, not really)
The first of a sequence of three drawings. A little girl in a long dress sitting cross legged on the ground. Her name is Hat. Behind her a large creature is walking into the frame but mostly cropped out. He is shaped a bit like a cow but with a fish like head and neck with gills and patches of human skin. He's wearing a button down shirt and pants. His name is Parker. Hat is saying while smiling and putting her hands to her heart "It's a lovely combination of sounds. I love hearing humans say it"The same characters from the first image. Parker has started kneeling down  and bowing his head near Hat who looks at him while fidgeting with her bracelet. He says "in this language "hat" means a garment worn on your head"The same characters as the previous image. Parker is now laying down completely behind where Hat is sitting, with his head resting on the ground looking up at her with a calm neutral expression. Hat looks away from him and waves her hand dismissively at his face. She says "Pff! Words can mean more than one thing"

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

In photography you really just wanna make sure that the cat is properly exposed. Photo from my collection no info/date.
Black and white photo of a light skinned man wearing a plaid sports coach and watch in a skinny dark colored tie. He is looking down at a long-haired grey kitten that he cradles in his hands. The photo seems to be somewhat under exposed because the man’s skin tone is blown out, but the kitten looks perfect.

Rubberhose cartoon drawing of a small pleasantly round suit wearing vampire with headphones and a microphone. On the microphone, stands the person of their attention, a small cartoon bug resembling an isopod wearing glasses, a bow tie, and also carrying a microphone. The two look gleeful and are speaking loudly.

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil. 

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two heavyset fellas sit around an unusual, scrawny humanoid alien at a diner counter. One of the guys pushes a little basket of bread in front of the alien and says, “this here is corn bread.” Panel 2: the alien takes a small bite of the golden corn bread. The alien says, “con… bred.” Panel 3: the alien begins to hover, emitting an otherworldly light and causing gravity to shift around its immediate vicinity. A frightened waitress behind the bar shouts, “what’s happening?!”
