It’s so frustrating when I see people copying my artwork and passing it off as their own. It’s happened a few times, and IDK to stop it. I feel powerless, especially since I’m just starting out in the industry. How do I deal with plagiarism when I don’t have the status or resources to really take action? Do I just let it go, or should I push for my work to be credited? I don’t want to be known as “that person” always fighting for recognition, but I also don’t want to be taken advantage of.

Totally get the fear of being “that person,” but honestly, you earned that recognition. Maybe start by DM-ing the person who copied your work? Sometimes a nudge is all it takes. You have every right to stand up for yourself, even quietly.
