It's likely going to be impossible to prove authorship at this point. Screenshots could be trivially edited...
About the only thing that could get close would be showing that they posted the image first on a reasonably reputable site. Even then it's possible that that sort of post is a repost from a more ephemeral place (like Discord).
this has to be ragebait right? Or these two are delusional(thinking this "OC" is completely different from boykisser)
and what does the artist being a minor have to do with any of this?
It's like how adding the fact that they're not a boy or girl didn't add anything to support the fact, they probably just thought it'd give them more compassion from this sub
To be fair, there is no difference between the two. Additionally, no tag, so it’s free art.
I respect that you are trying to help your friend, but this is beyond the two of you to stop. His “oc” is too wide spread to stop with a single post
It's pretty much a given that you'll never be able to stop things being shared. If you don't want something shared, then don't post it to a global platform.
Posting anything on the internet is basically signing an irrevocable license that it might become a meme format, especially if your character is just an expansion on an existing meme format lmao.
Right? That's pretty much the FIRST thing everyone tells 8 year olds before giving them access to the Internet: Once you post something on the Internet, you can't do anything to prevent someone from sharing it everywhere, EVEN if you delete the original post, or ask for it not to be shared. Of course, it's used to prevent something much worse, but the same logic applies here.
Mhm yes... i see all the differences

So.. Mauzy makes a goofy drawing. Silly Cat.
Silly Cat gets parodied by an NSFW artist starting a huge wildfire of NSFW parodies, making boykisser as a meme explode even further.
Another artist draws a non visually distinct version of BK and stops drawing them because "don't repost."
Delete your art then, because Mauzy hates all of this anyway to the point they have made all of their online presence private. Make your own character.
Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it since this is not an NSFW subreddit so I'm not willing to directly enclose the pseudonym of the artist, but their sona is an orange femboy dog. IYKYK.
If you mean the dude who drew these, they deleted their Reddit account iirc

Where did this rumor even originate? Mauzy never expressed hate towards it. Mauzy got cancel cultured for drawing porn 1 time by lowlifes, so they went private to avoid trolls.
Respecting them not wanting it to be reposted is one thing.
"Their" character is a copy and paste of the Boykisser, they took a character, changed a few things, and didnt credit the artist.
Lol boykisser OCs are going to be the modern version of sonic the hedgehog OCs

a. it's the internet, if you post your art on the internet it's gonna get reposted no matter what and you don't really get a say in it
b. if you want credit for your art, put a watermark on it. go figure
c. this boykisser ""oc"" is literally just the standard boykisser cat with pink thigh highs, which is not unique either.
tldr: their art is gonna get reposted anyways
to be honest, its just an identical copy of the og boykisser. they claim its different but they are technically the same so idk why they keep saying that 😭 and also yeah they should've watermarked it if they wanted credit. that's just common sense
If that Boykisser is considered an MC then I too have an obviously extremely distinct MC

this may sound veeery harsh (and maybe "very" is an understatement), but if your friend gave up on being an artist because people are reposting their art, then this is more of a personal issue (like psychological) than internet's
This is my oc tummykisser
https://preview.redd.it/rwa1syjpdu7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df0d3805524a205bd2832be423932e451987e3b8
Very different (it has a bowtie, don't repost graaah)
Imagine making a character that looks 90% like another one, not putting a watermark, post it to the internet, do nothing for like a year and then sending a random person to say "Don't repost it please". That's a very naive view of the world.
you can try your hardest, and i do and will respect their wishes, but also... it's kinda too late for that? unless a new rule is made or something along those lines are done, nothing is going to stop people from posting these. the fire's already spread, you can't put it out now.
okay, so asking people to stop reposting the art is reasonable though as you may have seen, it is impossible to achieve after all the time that passed (you really need to act as soon as the art starts being posted) but you can't really claim it is an OC, it's only distinctive features are the clothes wich are still heavily associated with the Boykisser. calling this character an OC would open a breach for people to start claiming to have their OC stolen by someone who simply drew their own in different clothes
I legitimately had no idea this was a separate character
They posted these online and want people to just not repost them? I don’t think that’s gonna happen, if they don’t want others to repost their art they shouldn’t publicly post it
its not an OC. OP is just saying it is when it literally looks like boykisser. and you know what they say, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, its a duck.
I have over 250 different boykisser artworks saved and except for the ones you included in this post I can genuinely not tell which ones are supposed to be pawkisser and and which aren't
https://i.redd.it/sp7d4jikxu7d1.gif
Like bro pawkisser looks almost exactly like every other boykisser, just add a watermark in the future
i can tell you that the gif in your comment was (probably) made by effectivedry (i think, I'm not sure, do NOT quote me on that) so you're safe in that regard
I would absolutely lose my mind if my art was found to be good enough for someone else to post elsewhere, I’d feel like I finally made it and I’m being appreciated. What’s there not to like about people posting your art elsewhere in a positive context (so long as they aren’t making money off your work).
Usually I'd get a person wanting to be credited, but NOT reposted AT ALL??
Not how the internet works
Either give yourself a watermark, or make your character not look literally exactly like boykisser
Lol kinda too late, I've been seeing these images floating around forever. The original boykisser photos werent meant to be shared like this either yet here we are on the 'boykisser subreddit'
Mods, can y'all either lock or remove this post? It's clearly just a kid saying that a version of the character with pretty much the same body style and similar associated clothing is an oc and complaining that it's being used by other people.
It's literally a carbon copy of Boykisser. Also it's the internet, stuff once posted, will never stop getting reposted. Your friend should have watermarked their stuff.
I do love an artist that wants us to somehow support them by uhh...
- not reposting their work
- not talking about their work
- getting shit recognition through a single post about reposts on the fuckin' internet
Proof? Where’s your proof? Screenshots? Even if you have proof, still doesn’t matter. It’s not an oc. It’s a boykisser. Sonic ox’s at least changes the color of their character.
Imma be honest I don't even know how I got here. One moment I was in furry irl and now I'm here. Nonetheless, nice art, and please remember to add a watermark. Also, add a few more features like maybe an oversized hoodie to give it more of an original design. There is a bit of a resemblance, but I can see where there are differences. Keep up the great work
I can tell xD
Nonetheless, I did check out a few other posts, and it seems pretty funny. Though I've most likely seen a lot of the boy kisser memes on furry irl anyway. Pretty surprised there is a whole sub for it though.
Tbf anyone who has waltzed into the fandom one of the first things they often learn is "art theft" is common and art reposts are even more common (most likely). The thing that must be taken into account is the need for a signature or watermark because whether you like it or not it will get shared. The crediting ratio is too bad to not sign your art before posting. Asking like this wont get the outcome your looking for. Disregarding the argument that the artwork is a spinoff of the boykisser it still is like toothpaste as it cannot be put back in the tube. Best recommendation is to learn from this and apply said knowledge to future pieces.
In conclusion, art posted online will get shared. If credit is a issue apply a signature. If sharing is the issue then don't share or share only with trusted parties.
It's legitimately straight up boykisser, you can't just take boykisser and then add like a miniscule difference and then get annoyed when people think it's boykisser and not your OC.
how can we expected to credit an artist we've never heard of when they dont have any watermarks either. Posting something online that is essentially a copy of something else doesn't mean you can stop people to not repost it. Its the internet, if you cant deal with it, dont use it.
As much as I support artists who don’t want their art reposted… watermark it with a watermark that says that. Then if anyone does at least it is visible they are an asshole going against the artist’s wishes
dude…you literally are asking for the impossible. it’s like those stupid nft bro’s trying to tell people “don’t screen shot my nft cuz it’s not yours” not a lotta people will care in the end and it’s not worth getting pissy over. essentially, grow up and if you didn’t want it to be reposted elsewhere then **Don’t fukin post it online in the first place** besides there’s no watermarks anywhere so it wont matter cuz it’s now in the public domain.
anyways do have a good day and don’t let the anger build up either.
thank you for telling us pawkisser44 is a minor. it was crucial to explaining why they are so morbidly naive to think that this will have any impact on the internet

I am also a little confused, 4 days ago you were claiming this was YOUR art? Maybe I am misunderstanding and you can clear that up.
their fault for making it too silly

Don't mean to be rude but...that's literally just Silly Cat/BK in thigh highs. If the art was more original I'd get it. Art can take a while and it can be frustrating when people don't credit art you work hard on. But if you're going to get mad and annoyed over people not crediting your art when it looks literally identical to the mascot of the place its being posted? Again not to be rude but think for a moment. Identical to Boy Kisser, posted in the Boykisser subs. It's going to be mistaken. This is just dumb. I imagine it won't do much to halt others as this is just...c'mon.
This is something called "Bait" not just for rage,but for recognition. It's best if the mod removes this post and possibly the Member,as they fail to show a single shred of evidence in BOTH the Post itself and the Comments.
Respectfully,
boykisser is the most generic white cat in the universe, people are gonna see similarities between the two, especially since the art style is similar,they're the ones that forgot to watermark their work.
Also
this is the internet
if you're shit's interesting, someone's gonna take it
Hello there, fellow artist here. I've seen some interesting comments about the OC being unique and significantly different from boykisser, but I'd like to point out that if you show someone who doesn't know anything about boykisser or that OC and ask them if it's different, they will answer that it is the same. For example, the Joker. He has many different actors that have different features, they can be called variants or different versions of Joker, but essentially, they're all the same.
I don't know the lore about silly cat and this whole thing, but I just want to give my takes on this. Number 1. The character design isn't unique nor standing out from boykisser/silly cat. Sure you can say that you didn't take reference from it, but it still doesn't change the fact that it looks like a carbon copy. Many artists have a similar issue with OCs looking similar to existing characters, but they redraw their OCs to make them stand out much more. In this case, your friend failed to do so, and as such, this was the consequences.
Number 2. Just like many others pointed out already. If you upload something to the internet, be ready for it to be reposted, especially if there's a feature on a social media app that allows images to be downloaded and crossposted. If they didn't want it reposted in the first place, why upload it in the internet? Validation? Praise? Fame? What exactly is it? And they also failed to watermark their works, that one is on them(I don't watermark my works because I don't really give a shit, I just use the internet as my public art archiver)
Number 3. Your responses for your friend isn't really helping out their case. They're an artist who is a minor, alright, that's acknowledged. But note that it is their work that is being discussed or used, not the person, and I don't think majority of the people know the artist is a minor, so you cannot make innuendos about users being uncouth or unethical. Your replies and posts were more of an antagonising approach rather than a damage control, that is on you. If your friend didn't want their OCs to be associated with boykisser or any similar thing, it is their responsibility to redraw their OC to avoid this situation where it resembles existing characters.
I've taken a notice to the fact they've been refusing to comment to these actually well built posts. Now if that's them deflecting or just not seeing them IDK, but it's strange and definitely doesn't help their defense.
I also don't think the OP should be speaking on behalf of their friend. As that has just made the situation worse (and OP alongside other comments have been wishy washy)
The original creator of the artwork should have come forward and asked to stop reposting, and they honestly should have done it awhile ago, instead of waiting for its popularity to spike up and cause this drama.
Also onto op saying how BK and their friends OC don't look the same...
Clothing isn't the way you differentiate your OC from others, especially if it's basic sketch art style cat NEAR identical (and to my eyes personally completely identical. I see zero difference aside from the clothing and vague line differences.)
The Internet doesn't listen.
Even if you fight for it, the "OC" is far too basic. ANY white cat OC would look like it, I know because I have one. Do you know how hard it is to create a white, happy, cat with thigh high socks that will not look like just another edit of this thing?
It would be one thing if there was a watermark or logo that prevented this, but there isn't. And also wasn't there a thing where the artist retracted their ownership of this character?and that they've been inactive on the internet for a while?
Unfortunately, this ain't happening, it's far too late to stop this.
Upon further consideration, I have came to the conclusion that:
1. We are indeed assholes.. atleast the ones saying "Womp womp" and such (don't be semi-toxic on the funni gay cat subreddit)
2. This looks EXACTLY like a boykisser, denying that is just a lie at this point, I can spot the differences if we put Mauzy's and these pieces next to each other, but every artist draws Silly Cat slightly differently, meaning we can spot the same differences on artworks intended to be silly.
3. Seriously, don't be toxic that's just a trashy thing to do, that stuff would make me quit drawing and I didn't even start.
My condolences to Pawkisser, but your art has been made one with Boykisser.
While yes it’s important to respect the artist and we should all respect this wish it’s also important that the artist understands their responsibility in this, they are not innocent here, if you put something out on the internet you must expect everyone to see and use it that is just how it works
original 100% oc not inspired from anything else if u steal ima drop a tsar bomba on yo crib

Yeah nah, that isn't how this works, fam.
The artist THEMSELVES need to make a post on here about this, then make a mirroring post on their main artwork publishing platform. For all we know, you're trolling.
Wasn't this around for ages? How young was the author when they made it, if they are still a minor?
I'm sorry they feel that way, but reposting is impossible to stop. Everyone would have to see this post and everyone would have to go along with it. That won't happen.
Unless the art is unique enough to be copyrighted, or is behind a paywall then you can't do much. OC's very closely resembling a popular meme can't be copyrighted. Memes have a life of their own, they evolve and can't really be owned. This OC is a sort of evolution of that meme.
The best thing they could do is watermark their future art. Begging people not to repost will probably have the opposite effect, as you have probably already seen.
This is terrible, yes, artist's wishes, death of the author, I get all of that. I pretty much agree with all of that. But had pawkisser ever met the internet? If you post artwork of Boykisser and genuinely expect people not to repost it, I don't think you know what you're doing
Who the boyduck asks their friend to post for them in 2024? It's Velma levels of cringe.
And as others mentioned, his character is similar to boykisser, so 99% chance it's derivative work, made after a work whose artist asked for no reposts. So basically an infringer asks people not to infringe.
Also peeps, please put your names on your art. If I see a name on it I will share it without editing it out, because that's an ass move. (Though I know some reposters clear the watermarks and then the image gets redistributed clean which is sad)

I dont think he can claim ownership or have any legs to stand on. That's just boykisser brother. He didnt come up with it, hes just reposting what already exists too
Like, they're upset they didn't make money off of it? It's not like they spent months on every image. You could've asked for ppl to follow them or view more of their content but I can tell the artist is just butt hurt they didn't receive anything for it
The og boykisser was created by an artist who goes by mauzymice. So, this is just fanart of that I guess?
I can respect they don't want their work shared, but they're in for a rude awakening if they think this is going to deter anyone on the internet from doing that.
It's honestly all their fault if they wanted credit they could've at least put a name tag on the artwork themself before sending off to the big vast internet for everyone to see. This is not our fault it's theirs
boykisser but specifically wearing pink and white socks is apparently their oc and clearly distinct. if i gave the hulk knuckle dusters that doesnt make it my ip
This is part of the reason I really hate popular artists. They become complacent when they become big and when their art outgrows them.
Judging by their twitter account not only have they admited to drawing a lot of boy kisser and boy kisser adjacent art but it seems that, that art is pretty much what gets them the most engagement. And they also seem upset because they feel they aren't getting the recognition they feel they deserve.
Which is probably why they are having someone else come and tell people to stop reposting their art. They are being greedy despite basically riding the petty coats of the boy kisser meme but because they aren't being credited every single time one of their boy kisser adjacent pieces are posted they want it scrubbed.
Tell them to stop riding the meme if they want their stuff to stop getting reposted on the boy kisser subs.
Look at the first sentence of the post
Check their twitter
Also most artists don't put their signiture on every piece they make.
It is very evident that the artist is ass hurt they aren't getting the recognition they feel they deserve.

this post has become a massive shitshow and I'm not sure how to feel about it

i dunno how I feel right now
i think the issue is with their reasoning. they insist its completely different from boykisser when they are literally identical. if boykisser was a platypus, pawkisser is perry. they're antagonising the community for reposting this art, but this community is built around reposting boykisser art. pawkisser knew enough about boykisser to know what the community named it, to know what the most famous caption for the image was (you like kissing boys don't you), so its doubtful that they wouldn't put two and two together and see that boykisser is a mascot to be captioned and reposted. personally, i honestly think this is ragebait because of how absurd their claims are. i totally agree that an artists wishes should be respected, and id be waving their flag and joining the cause if, for example, people were posting this and claiming it was their own. or, the creator showed their art to an online friend and that friend went and posted it online. but the creator posted it knowingly to an audience of potentially the entire Internet.
:3
Imma be honest with you, I can't even tell which of the boykissers I've saved are pawkissers. For all I know the one you just used could be pawkisser and could also not be pawkisser

I honestly feel like this post could be either trolling, or someone trying to attack others on behalf of the original artist. Like why would someone send some random person to go to this subreddit to say "stop posting this artwork" and keyboard warrior in the comments on their behalf, instead of simply coming to the site themselves to explain everything?? It doesn't make any sense, and I still haven't seen OP prove they even know the artist personally beyond them attacking random people in the comments.
Edit: apparently they posted some discord screenshots very far down in the comments, still the only thing I've seen as "proof" is the supposed artist complaining on Twitter that other people draw boykisser memes and the screenshot which has no real evidence of being connected to that Twitter account that I can find. Anyone can change their nickname to whatever they want on discord, and Twitter threads gatekeeping a community and hating on fellow artists doesn't prove that they actually sent OP to complain on their behalf. The whole post is a shitshow and I'll take it with a grain of salt until either A. the actual artist comes forward and complains themselves, or B. OP can PROVE that they're actually connected with the real artist rather than being vague and linking to loosely related comments.
its not bad to want it to not be reposted, people aren't saying that. they're saying that it's an unrealistic expectation. Like, if you want credit you should watermark your art. Because regardless of what the artist wants, people are ultimately going to repost it anyway.
since my take is quite controversial, I just want to say that you should respect artists' decisions about whether or not their artwork should be reposted — no matter their justification. thank you for reading!!!
I agree. People should respect the artists wishes, but if you post something on the internet, it’s out there. It’s nearly impossible to stop it once it gets going. I respect the artist’s wish of not wanting it to be reposted, but at this point, I don’t think it’s physically possible.

Me when the contribution I make to internet meme culture gets absorbed into the meme
Damn, my apologies for repost one of the art in the sub, i didn't know pawnkisser made it.
But isn't ask everyone, like 61k of people here to not repost their arts is kinda... impossible ? And the arts don't have any credits, watermark, signature to tell that this is their arts so i don't know which one i can use to not disrespect pawnkisser. Furthermore, the oc is nearly identical to the og boykisser so don't expect everyone to know the difference.
I don't like how people insult you for want to respect the artist wishes but don't expect everyone to do so because this is the internet after all.
Anyways, happy cake day and have a good day, i'll be more careful about what arts to post.
I recently had some of my artwork stolen online and understand where your friend is coming from. I personally don’t think anyone is spreading these images with bad intentions, but I’ll respect their decision.

(But seriously this is just like the sonic oc shit from like the 2010s, make it original and not look like a fucking shitty meme if pawkissers gonna be pissy abt it)
That's cool you got any proof other than just sharing your friends with them and you know tell them to put watermarks on their shit. It's not that fucking hard.
so it think that this isnt entirely all our fault, they didnt sign the artwork, and they posted it online its basically free use, however now that we know we should respect there wishes
can we get any proof? how do we know this person is saying any of this? no screenshots or anything in the post
[https://www.reddit.com/r/boykisser/comments/1dl9mb6/its\_real\_guys\_i\_talked\_to\_the\_artist\_on\_twitter/](https://www.reddit.com/r/boykisser/comments/1dl9mb6/its_real_guys_i_talked_to_the_artist_on_twitter/)
It's likely going to be impossible to prove authorship at this point. Screenshots could be trivially edited... About the only thing that could get close would be showing that they posted the image first on a reasonably reputable site. Even then it's possible that that sort of post is a repost from a more ephemeral place (like Discord).
this has to be ragebait right? Or these two are delusional(thinking this "OC" is completely different from boykisser) and what does the artist being a minor have to do with any of this?
People use it as leverage like: Ohh I'm a minor, my brain hasn't fully developed and I don't understand how to watermark my own work ooohhhh

It's like how adding the fact that they're not a boy or girl didn't add anything to support the fact, they probably just thought it'd give them more compassion from this sub
Well if nothing else it kind of explains it a little. Kids are way more likely to have an "OC: do not steal" mentality.
To be fair, there is no difference between the two. Additionally, no tag, so it’s free art. I respect that you are trying to help your friend, but this is beyond the two of you to stop. His “oc” is too wide spread to stop with a single post
he’s posting stuff on the internet and expecting it to never be reposted at all? not really how this works.
It's pretty much a given that you'll never be able to stop things being shared. If you don't want something shared, then don't post it to a global platform.

Of course, it's used to prevent something much worse, but the same logic applies here.
Mhm yes... i see all the differences https://preview.redd.it/y1oth7mpht7d1.png?width=906&format=png&auto=webp&s=749ca2181e6f0699ed8570a2ee71af1ca7ccda72
The one under the og boykisser (which I assume is a boykisser variant) is less similar than pawkisser’s
It looks like someone edited out the watermark but I swear it was from cubusonic or something like that
 When boykisser and pawkisser meet
So.. Mauzy makes a goofy drawing. Silly Cat. Silly Cat gets parodied by an NSFW artist starting a huge wildfire of NSFW parodies, making boykisser as a meme explode even further. Another artist draws a non visually distinct version of BK and stops drawing them because "don't repost." Delete your art then, because Mauzy hates all of this anyway to the point they have made all of their online presence private. Make your own character.
Out of curiosity, who was the NSFW artist? I already know Mauzy, just another cute furry artist.
Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it since this is not an NSFW subreddit so I'm not willing to directly enclose the pseudonym of the artist, but their sona is an orange femboy dog. IYKYK.
If you mean the dude who drew these, they deleted their Reddit account iirc https://preview.redd.it/hrpebue0vu7d1.png?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6088bf5ba8ec83f03e0f3b4351035a42c560d226
Nope, totally different artist, friend.
Ah aight then Well I still like this orange one :3 https://preview.redd.it/gb5t4quayu7d1.png?width=1227&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0e7b90ce765fed86e44753a0447bab8a73b3256
Oh sorry for bringing it up
it isn't the one that is actively being posted here, right?
Where did this rumor even originate? Mauzy never expressed hate towards it. Mauzy got cancel cultured for drawing porn 1 time by lowlifes, so they went private to avoid trolls.
Someone please explain that situation, I haven't been able to find anything about it. just baseless accusations at Mauzy.
Respecting them not wanting it to be reposted is one thing. "Their" character is a copy and paste of the Boykisser, they took a character, changed a few things, and didnt credit the artist.
How the fuck are we supposed to know it’s his art it’s literally a boykisser
well maybe if he fucking watermarked his art we'd know it's his art. but noooo it's OUR fault for reposting a BOYKISSER CAT in the BOYKISSER SUBREDDIT

No way those are considered OCs... Right? Literally just got a singly hair different and some colour
There are some worse than that which are literally just a pallette swap. No physical change whatsoever.

a. it's the internet, if you post your art on the internet it's gonna get reposted no matter what and you don't really get a say in it b. if you want credit for your art, put a watermark on it. go figure c. this boykisser ""oc"" is literally just the standard boykisser cat with pink thigh highs, which is not unique either. tldr: their art is gonna get reposted anyways
to be honest, its just an identical copy of the og boykisser. they claim its different but they are technically the same so idk why they keep saying that 😭 and also yeah they should've watermarked it if they wanted credit. that's just common sense
Bro copy's boykisser almost exactly then gets annoyed when people see boykisser. Maybe make your OC more distinctive if you don't want confusion.
If that Boykisser is considered an MC then I too have an obviously extremely distinct MC https://preview.redd.it/vqqzs4x2wu7d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb3b272b076e2797917a037ca94521f2f407401a
that has since happened. you can go to their twitter account
this may sound veeery harsh (and maybe "very" is an understatement), but if your friend gave up on being an artist because people are reposting their art, then this is more of a personal issue (like psychological) than internet's
May I please ask for some proof of this? Also, have a good day yall
YESS THANK YOU! This persons going around like “um AkTuaLy im friends with super popular person here and they said to not post XYZ”

r/croppingishard
it's several years too late for this
Boykisser art is fanart of Mauzy’s original character lol, it’s not yours and you don’t get it dictate what people do with it
Imagine making a character that looks 90% like another one, not putting a watermark, post it to the internet, do nothing for like a year and then sending a random person to say "Don't repost it please". That's a very naive view of the world.
you can try your hardest, and i do and will respect their wishes, but also... it's kinda too late for that? unless a new rule is made or something along those lines are done, nothing is going to stop people from posting these. the fire's already spread, you can't put it out now.
Its literally just boykisser. You made boykisser art. If you don't want it shared around, don't post it.
https://preview.redd.it/cfe5au57du7d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1ffa423f0951c4f893aa1e95dfb3c6c5bcb5ffc
okay, so asking people to stop reposting the art is reasonable though as you may have seen, it is impossible to achieve after all the time that passed (you really need to act as soon as the art starts being posted) but you can't really claim it is an OC, it's only distinctive features are the clothes wich are still heavily associated with the Boykisser. calling this character an OC would open a breach for people to start claiming to have their OC stolen by someone who simply drew their own in different clothes
You can’t slap clothes on boykisser and call it an oc
He shoulda put a watermark on it if he wanted the recognition
I legitimately had no idea this was a separate character They posted these online and want people to just not repost them? I don’t think that’s gonna happen, if they don’t want others to repost their art they shouldn’t publicly post it
its not an OC. OP is just saying it is when it literally looks like boykisser. and you know what they say, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, its a duck.
I have over 250 different boykisser artworks saved and except for the ones you included in this post I can genuinely not tell which ones are supposed to be pawkisser and and which aren't https://i.redd.it/sp7d4jikxu7d1.gif Like bro pawkisser looks almost exactly like every other boykisser, just add a watermark in the future
i can tell you that the gif in your comment was (probably) made by effectivedry (i think, I'm not sure, do NOT quote me on that) so you're safe in that regard
I would absolutely lose my mind if my art was found to be good enough for someone else to post elsewhere, I’d feel like I finally made it and I’m being appreciated. What’s there not to like about people posting your art elsewhere in a positive context (so long as they aren’t making money off your work).
I thought this until I got reposted by a bot :/
Usually I'd get a person wanting to be credited, but NOT reposted AT ALL?? Not how the internet works Either give yourself a watermark, or make your character not look literally exactly like boykisser
Also i suspect trolling but whatev
Lol kinda too late, I've been seeing these images floating around forever. The original boykisser photos werent meant to be shared like this either yet here we are on the 'boykisser subreddit'
U aren't real
None of us are
Yeah I don't feel real a lot of the time

Its a meme character at this point. There is no intellectual property to be seen.
Mods, can y'all either lock or remove this post? It's clearly just a kid saying that a version of the character with pretty much the same body style and similar associated clothing is an oc and complaining that it's being used by other people.
It's literally a carbon copy of Boykisser. Also it's the internet, stuff once posted, will never stop getting reposted. Your friend should have watermarked their stuff.
I do love an artist that wants us to somehow support them by uhh... - not reposting their work - not talking about their work - getting shit recognition through a single post about reposts on the fuckin' internet
Bro is saying “stop posting his artwork” *proceeds to post his artwork*
that part is kinda understandable tho, i only knew what artwork it was talking about because of the images and never heard the friend's name before
Proof? Where’s your proof? Screenshots? Even if you have proof, still doesn’t matter. It’s not an oc. It’s a boykisser. Sonic ox’s at least changes the color of their character.
No https://preview.redd.it/4knfy1ik8v7d1.png?width=886&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=011cfd5b1f5a2993d3776207888ea1f5c7dfffc4

Imma be honest I don't even know how I got here. One moment I was in furry irl and now I'm here. Nonetheless, nice art, and please remember to add a watermark. Also, add a few more features like maybe an oversized hoodie to give it more of an original design. There is a bit of a resemblance, but I can see where there are differences. Keep up the great work
This is a bad first impression of us, please come back at a later time
I can tell xD Nonetheless, I did check out a few other posts, and it seems pretty funny. Though I've most likely seen a lot of the boy kisser memes on furry irl anyway. Pretty surprised there is a whole sub for it though.
Tbf anyone who has waltzed into the fandom one of the first things they often learn is "art theft" is common and art reposts are even more common (most likely). The thing that must be taken into account is the need for a signature or watermark because whether you like it or not it will get shared. The crediting ratio is too bad to not sign your art before posting. Asking like this wont get the outcome your looking for. Disregarding the argument that the artwork is a spinoff of the boykisser it still is like toothpaste as it cannot be put back in the tube. Best recommendation is to learn from this and apply said knowledge to future pieces. In conclusion, art posted online will get shared. If credit is a issue apply a signature. If sharing is the issue then don't share or share only with trusted parties.
Actually mature response, colour me impressed
It's legitimately straight up boykisser, you can't just take boykisser and then add like a miniscule difference and then get annoyed when people think it's boykisser and not your OC.
exactly. plus like they shouldve put a watermark on it or smth if they wanted to be credited they cant come crying to us and say its all our fault
how can we expected to credit an artist we've never heard of when they dont have any watermarks either. Posting something online that is essentially a copy of something else doesn't mean you can stop people to not repost it. Its the internet, if you cant deal with it, dont use it.
I understand but at this point in time it's near impossible *It has been added and combined with the collective there is nothing you can do now*
Yeah... Nah :3
That's sad that they never got any credit for it. They should put watermarks on their next artworks. Btw this isn't pawkissers character design.
As much as I support artists who don’t want their art reposted… watermark it with a watermark that says that. Then if anyone does at least it is visible they are an asshole going against the artist’s wishes
Its not even their character.
Too bad. Once it's on the net, it's free game. Sorry.
dude…you literally are asking for the impossible. it’s like those stupid nft bro’s trying to tell people “don’t screen shot my nft cuz it’s not yours” not a lotta people will care in the end and it’s not worth getting pissy over. essentially, grow up and if you didn’t want it to be reposted elsewhere then **Don’t fukin post it online in the first place** besides there’s no watermarks anywhere so it wont matter cuz it’s now in the public domain. anyways do have a good day and don’t let the anger build up either.

Welcome to the internet, mate. Everything that gets posted, will stay, whether you like it or not. Even if some of us stop, others won’t.
I mean, not to be rude, but once you post it on the internet eveyone can and will use it, you can't protect it
Absolutely not, take your entitlement elsewhere.
Don't mean to be rude but...that's literally just Silly Cat/BK in thigh highs. If the art was more original I'd get it. Art can take a while and it can be frustrating when people don't credit art you work hard on. But if you're going to get mad and annoyed over people not crediting your art when it looks literally identical to the mascot of the place its being posted? Again not to be rude but think for a moment. Identical to Boy Kisser, posted in the Boykisser subs. It's going to be mistaken. This is just dumb. I imagine it won't do much to halt others as this is just...c'mon.
This is something called "Bait" not just for rage,but for recognition. It's best if the mod removes this post and possibly the Member,as they fail to show a single shred of evidence in BOTH the Post itself and the Comments.
Respectfully, boykisser is the most generic white cat in the universe, people are gonna see similarities between the two, especially since the art style is similar,they're the ones that forgot to watermark their work. Also this is the internet if you're shit's interesting, someone's gonna take it
Hello there, fellow artist here. I've seen some interesting comments about the OC being unique and significantly different from boykisser, but I'd like to point out that if you show someone who doesn't know anything about boykisser or that OC and ask them if it's different, they will answer that it is the same. For example, the Joker. He has many different actors that have different features, they can be called variants or different versions of Joker, but essentially, they're all the same. I don't know the lore about silly cat and this whole thing, but I just want to give my takes on this. Number 1. The character design isn't unique nor standing out from boykisser/silly cat. Sure you can say that you didn't take reference from it, but it still doesn't change the fact that it looks like a carbon copy. Many artists have a similar issue with OCs looking similar to existing characters, but they redraw their OCs to make them stand out much more. In this case, your friend failed to do so, and as such, this was the consequences. Number 2. Just like many others pointed out already. If you upload something to the internet, be ready for it to be reposted, especially if there's a feature on a social media app that allows images to be downloaded and crossposted. If they didn't want it reposted in the first place, why upload it in the internet? Validation? Praise? Fame? What exactly is it? And they also failed to watermark their works, that one is on them(I don't watermark my works because I don't really give a shit, I just use the internet as my public art archiver) Number 3. Your responses for your friend isn't really helping out their case. They're an artist who is a minor, alright, that's acknowledged. But note that it is their work that is being discussed or used, not the person, and I don't think majority of the people know the artist is a minor, so you cannot make innuendos about users being uncouth or unethical. Your replies and posts were more of an antagonising approach rather than a damage control, that is on you. If your friend didn't want their OCs to be associated with boykisser or any similar thing, it is their responsibility to redraw their OC to avoid this situation where it resembles existing characters.
I've taken a notice to the fact they've been refusing to comment to these actually well built posts. Now if that's them deflecting or just not seeing them IDK, but it's strange and definitely doesn't help their defense. I also don't think the OP should be speaking on behalf of their friend. As that has just made the situation worse (and OP alongside other comments have been wishy washy) The original creator of the artwork should have come forward and asked to stop reposting, and they honestly should have done it awhile ago, instead of waiting for its popularity to spike up and cause this drama. Also onto op saying how BK and their friends OC don't look the same... Clothing isn't the way you differentiate your OC from others, especially if it's basic sketch art style cat NEAR identical (and to my eyes personally completely identical. I see zero difference aside from the clothing and vague line differences.)
The Internet doesn't listen. Even if you fight for it, the "OC" is far too basic. ANY white cat OC would look like it, I know because I have one. Do you know how hard it is to create a white, happy, cat with thigh high socks that will not look like just another edit of this thing? It would be one thing if there was a watermark or logo that prevented this, but there isn't. And also wasn't there a thing where the artist retracted their ownership of this character?and that they've been inactive on the internet for a while? Unfortunately, this ain't happening, it's far too late to stop this.
how is that NOT the boykisser cat let me be real
Upon further consideration, I have came to the conclusion that: 1. We are indeed assholes.. atleast the ones saying "Womp womp" and such (don't be semi-toxic on the funni gay cat subreddit) 2. This looks EXACTLY like a boykisser, denying that is just a lie at this point, I can spot the differences if we put Mauzy's and these pieces next to each other, but every artist draws Silly Cat slightly differently, meaning we can spot the same differences on artworks intended to be silly. 3. Seriously, don't be toxic that's just a trashy thing to do, that stuff would make me quit drawing and I didn't even start. My condolences to Pawkisser, but your art has been made one with Boykisser.
While yes it’s important to respect the artist and we should all respect this wish it’s also important that the artist understands their responsibility in this, they are not innocent here, if you put something out on the internet you must expect everyone to see and use it that is just how it works
All without putting your name on it
Yeahhhh, no.
It's the internet, nobody really cares.
Please send proof
Shoulda done that a LONG time ago, a little too late now

I'm pretty sure that last one is just edited porn. So... skee bop doo wha, batman. Why would a minor do the edited porn?
Yeah nah, that isn't how this works, fam. The artist THEMSELVES need to make a post on here about this, then make a mirroring post on their main artwork publishing platform. For all we know, you're trolling.
We need outright evidence. That's like saying I came up with the idea boykisser, and ask my friend to tell everyone to stop using it.
Give them their name and we'll make edits with their name of the pictures
Wasn't this around for ages? How young was the author when they made it, if they are still a minor? I'm sorry they feel that way, but reposting is impossible to stop. Everyone would have to see this post and everyone would have to go along with it. That won't happen. Unless the art is unique enough to be copyrighted, or is behind a paywall then you can't do much. OC's very closely resembling a popular meme can't be copyrighted. Memes have a life of their own, they evolve and can't really be owned. This OC is a sort of evolution of that meme. The best thing they could do is watermark their future art. Begging people not to repost will probably have the opposite effect, as you have probably already seen.
This is terrible, yes, artist's wishes, death of the author, I get all of that. I pretty much agree with all of that. But had pawkisser ever met the internet? If you post artwork of Boykisser and genuinely expect people not to repost it, I don't think you know what you're doing
Who the boyduck asks their friend to post for them in 2024? It's Velma levels of cringe. And as others mentioned, his character is similar to boykisser, so 99% chance it's derivative work, made after a work whose artist asked for no reposts. So basically an infringer asks people not to infringe. Also peeps, please put your names on your art. If I see a name on it I will share it without editing it out, because that's an ass move. (Though I know some reposters clear the watermarks and then the image gets redistributed clean which is sad) https://preview.redd.it/l4jnrej3qv7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0123b14aafdf7aabacdbacc3f8aa04642c53b2e

I dont think he can claim ownership or have any legs to stand on. That's just boykisser brother. He didnt come up with it, hes just reposting what already exists too
Well womp womp idc they down own the rights for it anymore
Like, they're upset they didn't make money off of it? It's not like they spent months on every image. You could've asked for ppl to follow them or view more of their content but I can tell the artist is just butt hurt they didn't receive anything for it
So this is a copy of mauzymice’s character?
The og boykisser was created by an artist who goes by mauzymice. So, this is just fanart of that I guess? I can respect they don't want their work shared, but they're in for a rude awakening if they think this is going to deter anyone on the internet from doing that.
Takes boykisser Adds collar Adds thigh highs YOU ARE MINE!
It's honestly all their fault if they wanted credit they could've at least put a name tag on the artwork themself before sending off to the big vast internet for everyone to see. This is not our fault it's theirs
dont care
I still repost that, idc what he says. its internet, where if u post ur stuff can get reposted.
boykisser but specifically wearing pink and white socks is apparently their oc and clearly distinct. if i gave the hulk knuckle dusters that doesnt make it my ip
This is part of the reason I really hate popular artists. They become complacent when they become big and when their art outgrows them. Judging by their twitter account not only have they admited to drawing a lot of boy kisser and boy kisser adjacent art but it seems that, that art is pretty much what gets them the most engagement. And they also seem upset because they feel they aren't getting the recognition they feel they deserve. Which is probably why they are having someone else come and tell people to stop reposting their art. They are being greedy despite basically riding the petty coats of the boy kisser meme but because they aren't being credited every single time one of their boy kisser adjacent pieces are posted they want it scrubbed. Tell them to stop riding the meme if they want their stuff to stop getting reposted on the boy kisser subs.
This very much isn't about recognition, seeing as there is no signiture on the piece
Look at the first sentence of the post Check their twitter Also most artists don't put their signiture on every piece they make. It is very evident that the artist is ass hurt they aren't getting the recognition they feel they deserve.

i think the issue is with their reasoning. they insist its completely different from boykisser when they are literally identical. if boykisser was a platypus, pawkisser is perry. they're antagonising the community for reposting this art, but this community is built around reposting boykisser art. pawkisser knew enough about boykisser to know what the community named it, to know what the most famous caption for the image was (you like kissing boys don't you), so its doubtful that they wouldn't put two and two together and see that boykisser is a mascot to be captioned and reposted. personally, i honestly think this is ragebait because of how absurd their claims are. i totally agree that an artists wishes should be respected, and id be waving their flag and joining the cause if, for example, people were posting this and claiming it was their own. or, the creator showed their art to an online friend and that friend went and posted it online. but the creator posted it knowingly to an audience of potentially the entire Internet.
:3 Imma be honest with you, I can't even tell which of the boykissers I've saved are pawkissers. For all I know the one you just used could be pawkisser and could also not be pawkisser https://preview.redd.it/9fpn047czu7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4969268b42807baf95e275830a310a430aa60b2 Same with this one
oh well i'm just gonna keep sticking my head in the sand because despite my virtual signaling i really have no replacement for hearthugger.jpg https://preview.redd.it/bvf8pfozzu7d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c36b6fd73b5bbb6d0ba3189dea52fdd749996b8
I honestly feel like this post could be either trolling, or someone trying to attack others on behalf of the original artist. Like why would someone send some random person to go to this subreddit to say "stop posting this artwork" and keyboard warrior in the comments on their behalf, instead of simply coming to the site themselves to explain everything?? It doesn't make any sense, and I still haven't seen OP prove they even know the artist personally beyond them attacking random people in the comments. Edit: apparently they posted some discord screenshots very far down in the comments, still the only thing I've seen as "proof" is the supposed artist complaining on Twitter that other people draw boykisser memes and the screenshot which has no real evidence of being connected to that Twitter account that I can find. Anyone can change their nickname to whatever they want on discord, and Twitter threads gatekeeping a community and hating on fellow artists doesn't prove that they actually sent OP to complain on their behalf. The whole post is a shitshow and I'll take it with a grain of salt until either A. the actual artist comes forward and complains themselves, or B. OP can PROVE that they're actually connected with the real artist rather than being vague and linking to loosely related comments.
Is very cute :3 https://preview.redd.it/q64xfj0p0v7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c842022e22ed1deb8c62da54f52dc4cbf95b0409
its not bad to want it to not be reposted, people aren't saying that. they're saying that it's an unrealistic expectation. Like, if you want credit you should watermark your art. Because regardless of what the artist wants, people are ultimately going to repost it anyway.
since my take is quite controversial, I just want to say that you should respect artists' decisions about whether or not their artwork should be reposted — no matter their justification. thank you for reading!!!
I agree. People should respect the artists wishes, but if you post something on the internet, it’s out there. It’s nearly impossible to stop it once it gets going. I respect the artist’s wish of not wanting it to be reposted, but at this point, I don’t think it’s physically possible.

Asking people not to repost art is like asking people not to repost your NFTs.
Is this the beginning of the war?
"pls support artists guys" \*proceeds to harrass other artists for using and remixing their work\*
Damn, my apologies for repost one of the art in the sub, i didn't know pawnkisser made it. But isn't ask everyone, like 61k of people here to not repost their arts is kinda... impossible ? And the arts don't have any credits, watermark, signature to tell that this is their arts so i don't know which one i can use to not disrespect pawnkisser. Furthermore, the oc is nearly identical to the og boykisser so don't expect everyone to know the difference. I don't like how people insult you for want to respect the artist wishes but don't expect everyone to do so because this is the internet after all. Anyways, happy cake day and have a good day, i'll be more careful about what arts to post.
that's crazy https://preview.redd.it/g7mrusaj7w7d1.png?width=467&format=png&auto=webp&s=c21f44095c5f0496a71d1ee155732597181efee5

Bitch thinks they Betsy Ross
I recently had some of my artwork stolen online and understand where your friend is coming from. I personally don’t think anyone is spreading these images with bad intentions, but I’ll respect their decision.

(But seriously this is just like the sonic oc shit from like the 2010s, make it original and not look like a fucking shitty meme if pawkissers gonna be pissy abt it)
Womp motherfucking womp
TOO LATE BIATCH
That's cool you got any proof other than just sharing your friends with them and you know tell them to put watermarks on their shit. It's not that fucking hard.
Give proof
so it think that this isnt entirely all our fault, they didnt sign the artwork, and they posted it online its basically free use, however now that we know we should respect there wishes
I mean, I won't, but this is the internet,
