Some time ago, he created illustrations for light novels such as "The Work of the Dragon King", and painted shirabii for the mobile game FGO, and accidentally revealed a folder of a notebook in his computer when he was live streaming the painting.
If you just expose the book you are reading, it seems to be simply a little embarrassing. But the problem is that according to the experience of the old drivers of the network, the books in this folder are not purchased through formal channels, but illegally downloaded content. Now things are not so simple... (Note: It can be inferred from the order of the sub-cover of the book, the file name and file format of the picture)
Although it is very common in China to read manga downloaded illegally, it is a very serious matter in Japan. Take, for example, the incident caused by Shueisha editor Naito, who is in charge of One Piece, at the beginning of this year. In January, he exposed his adult browsing history of pirated manga sites during a live broadcast, an incident that sparked resentment among a large number of Japanese netizens. Although Shueisha said that the record was only accidentally clicked on by him, netizens did not accept it, and the anger against Shueisha continued for some time.
This time, as a painter who eats by painting, it is even more inappropriate for the party to run to see the illegally downloaded book. Ironically, in the past questions about unauthorized reprinting, washing crayons has clearly expressed dissatisfaction many times, but this incident undoubtedly hit himself in the face...
After the incident, Wash Crayon hurriedly deleted the video he had posted, trying to eliminate the evidence. But under the screenshot testimony of Japanese netizens, he finally admitted his mistake and apologized to the author of the book by email while spending money on the book.
At 8 o'clock last night, wash crayons and tweeted: I was hesitant to attend the C99 at the end of the year, but considering that the exhibition has prepared space to avoid causing trouble to everyone, I finally decided to participate in the exhibition. This may make some people uncomfortable, very sorry. All sales from C99 and part of my income as a writer will be donated to the "Forest Conservation Fundraiser" called for in Combiket, and the amount of the donation will be made public in the future.
For this incident, many netizens feel incomprehensible: why would a painter like him, who has gained fame and fortune, still do such a thing? Others took out the previous speech of washing crayons to punch their faces. Some people also questioned the donation of C99 sales: it was obviously the negative news caused by illegal downloading of the book, why should it be donated to a completely unrelated "forest protection fundraiser"...
Another interesting thing is that after the exposure of this incident, the sales of illegally downloaded books of washing crayons increased rapidly, directly rushing to the top of the daily list. (Well-known artists give up their lives to recommend x) But this is another topic...
So what do you think of this kind of behavior of his
Whether there is a problem with the book under the artist's illegality
