"'''Original character, do not steal'''" is a phrase often added after someone posts a character's picture/description/etc. It is a jab at the tendency of [[furry|furries]] and the likes inhabiting DeviantArt and other [[Star Wars D20|wretched hives of scum and villainy]] to include the same phrase (or variations to that effect) as a warning in their own <strike>horribly drawn pictures of</strike> traced and palette-swapped "original characters(Sonic the Hedgehog recolors)".

Original character, do not steal!

"Original character, do not steal" is a phrase often added after someone posts a character's picture/description/etc. It is a jab at the tendency of furries and the likes inhabiting DeviantArt and other wretched hives of scum and villainy to include the same phrase (or variations to that effect) as a warning in their own horribly drawn pictures of traced and palette-swapped "original characters(Sonic the Hedgehog recolors)". The use of the phrase on /tg/ is generally simply to indicate that whatever character happens to be depicted is an original creation of the poster, and should not be construed to mean the poster actually cares if anyone copies it - indeed, it can be used to mean the exact opposite.

This is exceptionally common with the Sonic fandom. Why do these people not realize their obvious theft?
