Said the person who was more than capable of looking the information up themselves. I didn't have that information saved. I had to get it because people like you refused to do it yourself and instead just speculated.
Maybe you should ask that question internally before asking it like an accusation, huh?
Got it, so you did it so you could use it as a vehicle be rude, arrogant, and smug.
Let's be absolutely clear about this: You posted someone else's work and didn't even bother to attribute it to them, which is already slimy. Then when questioned on the claim you made about the nature of the work you took it upon yourself to fly off the handle at everyone like a whiny toddler rather than do the right thing and modify your post to include the requisite context and information, which I notice you still haven't done. I redacted my previous comment when I discovered I was wrong whereas you still have not added the source to your post, but you think you're going to screech at me about "taking responsibility?" Instead, you want to go around individually berating and insulting everyone in the comments.
It's not on us, every single person on the internet, to go out of our way to verify if what some rando claimed about an image is true -- especially in a world rife with AI slop and photoshop filters, plus the horde of liars who use them. The onus is on you, the individual making the claim.
If you want to make up your own story and insult me all the way through it, by all means. But don't expect me to play along with you.
I gave the source the moment when questioned.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT.
I did not go to the source location, save the image, come here and post it. I had the image saved and then had to find the source after the fact. Which means that both of us at that stage needed to take the exact same steps to find the source image. That's why I said you could have easily gotten it yourself. But you didn't. You spent your time questioning it instead of verifying anything and now are getting self-righteously angry because people have pointed out that you should have paid attention. Or, at the very least, asked a question. Because if you did ask for the source, I probably would have gone looking for it. But acting like this? Insulting me, getting angry at people pointing out that you made a bad call? Doesn't do anything other than make me have quite a lot of disdain for you and add you to my block list.
I gave you a clear and cut answer. You refused it, made up your own nonsense and then doubled down further. You then get pissy when I point out you could have done the same because you were still rejecting the answer I had already given you.
Stop inventing your own narrative and acting like it is reality. It isn't. You're not that good of an author.
Goodbye.
So.....arrogant and smug. Got it.
