"A lot of artists would like to disagree with that. And people wonder why a lot of artists are resorting to plastering large watermarks on their art. It's more of a preventative measure from others claiming the art as their own really."

I don't particularly about the supposed grievance of fan artists. My point was that OP is not obligated to give credit to the images posted above. If the artist cared enough about some rando posting his work then where's the water mark? Maybe he doesn't take his work too seriously to care. Who knows. We certainly don't know.

"But I digress, courtesy isn't really part of human nature. It's an either-or situation. Either delete uncredited art posts or delete people asking for the artist. So I guess, we keep them both. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Unless that person is falsely claiming a piece of art as their own, that is."

I've always find it funny when someone uses the human nature card, as if this boogeyman inside us all is waiting to come out given the chance. Your view of human nature is a very simplistic and is often used to discredit things people don't agree with. But I do agree that you shouldn't delete the posters comments and that OP should be rightly punished if claimed as their own work. It is unnecessary to do so anyways, since my purpose in my first comment was to show there was no contradiction at all. But only a difference of opinion of whether or not OP should be courteous enough to give credit where credit is due.
