Well, the writing in the lower left corner is kinda threatening... "I will ban all."...Wow! Also, why did this autor put all his work on private? Is a little obsessed with the reprint thing? Or what?
Pixiv artists are known to crack a bitchfit and delete everything if they find people re-upping their work though. It makes no difference either way since they are less to be translated or even read if they aren't posted here.

Apparently the artist just made their work private. Which begs the question: "who exactly does he want to see his work?" Because it sure isn't us gaijin.

Gaijin senpai is scum, only want the love from nipon senpai xD
Not the first time this has happened. I know that some western people shamelessly (Deviantarts mostly) plagiarize japanese artist's works, but it has always been a harsh move to do.
Which is a shame, since it has been until recently that he finally started to polish his style. I have the theory that it is a cheap excuse so they can quit drawing.
Oh well. At least the most talented artists do not seem to hate us. Hell, Ayakado from Monster Girl fame even said that he was flattered people translated his stuff, waaaaay back when he started.
If they don't want us to repost their works than we shouldn't. Thinking of starting up a list of pixiv artists that don't want us to link to their works and just put up their pixiv page in the forum instead. Less bandwidth eaten by us is always good.

The funny thing is that the most over guys in the fandom don't mind us, and some came to interact with the OYP people xD.
Some people's art style could be recognized; there's the adults shouldn't like anime stuff mentality; crazy people would threaten to out the artist - those crazy pro-yukkuri fanatics who wishes death on m1 and clammbon and others.
Free advertisement argument is like advertising Black History month in a Ku Klux meeting hall.

Do these people still exist? I'd have thought they've moved on to the latest flavor of the month like, say bitching about how moefied personifications of WW2 Axis warships is historical revisionism, or that calling out shit quality work is harassment. Things like that.

I thought the whole pro-yukkuri/anti-yukkuri thing lost steam years ago. Seems like the yukkuri phenomenon itself has contracted back into being an eccentric corner of the Touhou fandom instead of the big deal it was three or four years back.
