Fair use[edit]

The best case for it is "The placement in a RationalWiki article is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original copyrighted media in any way. " of which, no it isn't. It's first use was you making a point via posting a picture in what can only be described as an intent to turn this wiki into a imageboard, and the second was on a fun page of dubious quality and which the picture in no way improves by being there. | After that it's parody, and it's a shit parody that isn't funny. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 04:49, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Just because you don't like the joke doesn't mean it's not parody ┐('~`;)┌—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Also y'all being unnecessarily harsh on this because I made it.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Shut up with your goddamn persecution complex. Do you like being sued? No? Neither does the RMF. This was clearly a violation of copyright and didn't qualify as Fair Use (read up on what does here). Therefore, unless you are willing to take on a lawsuit against the RMF with your own resources and money, quit violating copyright laws. Gooniepunk (talk) 06:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
How many other fucking files are there on this website that don't meet any fucking requirements? And maybe you all should delete the god damn page properly. I fucking give up.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Do you know of more copyright violations? Please point them out and I will deal with them accordingly. Otherwise, shut the fuck up! Gooniepunk (talk) 07:02, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
You're right, there are many files on this RW with either no copyright status, or a fair use disclaimer that's dubious. That is, in fact, why I am at this very moment working on a bot to clean that up as much a possible (User:Carpetbot is a humble beginning). As I've said before, that's no excuse to add to the problem. Carpetsmoker (talk) 07:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
