Also in most cases like these I think it is also out of jealousy or something to do with jealousy even tho the person plagiarizing your work / creation is reluctant to admit it because they are jealous.

Especially when it comes to creators and OC'S.

Like for example a less popular creator with a less popular OC spots a more popular creator and a more popular OC with a really amazing design,back story,headcanons so on and so on. So, that's when the jealousy strikes. Since they worry or feel their OC will never be as good as the popular one. So,I think out of jealousy that other person decides it's either funny or a good idea to be childish and copy the popular OC and steal the creators hard work.

I should know I speak from experience with this it has happened to me many times I'm kind of used to it now I try my best to ignore the people copying cause complaining about them doesn't really get you anywhere in life. It also makes you look like a total bitch even tho you are not doing anything wrong. You are just standing up for yourself. And telling people nicely but firmly not to copy your hard work and creations and writing. Then there are those people who copy and use the famous excuse. I was inspired by your work or you inspired me to make something similar to your own. Even tho it is totally just me wanting to copy your hard work.

I know it sucks but I guess that's the price you have to pay when you have a popular OC character with a great deigns and back story or when you write a really great story or something. Your gonna get copy cat's and theives. And your just gonna have to deal with them. Cause if you complain like I said you sound like a total bitch. Even tho your not.

I still agree with what you wrote 100% I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about the subject so thank you for writing this~C:
