The story of the art that was stolen by Christy Kitsune

An artist friend of mine (his account has now been deleted) wrote several years ago (this picture now become CC-00):

"I want to talk about an unpleasant situation related to my work. I recently created an image for Christy Kitsune (Christykitsune) and shared it in our community. Soon after, she decided to use the image as her profile picture, but refused to credit me when I asked. At first I thought it was a simple misunderstanding and asked her again. However, instead of correcting the situation, she openly stated that she would not credit me as the author because of my left-wing political views. I was shocked by this answer. The situation worsened when Christy began to actively discredit me in the community. She encouraged other members to not only ignore my requests, but also to openly attack me. As a result, I became the target of harassment and criticism from her supporters. For me, it was a bitter lesson about how some people can use their popularity and influence to manipulate and bully."

I think he would like his picture to be used by someone with socialist views. But not right-wing radicals like Christy.
