But foreign fans are rude, intrusive art thieves! (O ho ho ho ho!)
Kidding! Kidding! But I have seen some really obviously unacceptable behavior from English-speaking fans who would never have taken without permission if they'd been dealing with an English-speaking fanartist. I mean, some fans do think it's ok to take any art from anywhere without permission, and I do understand that, but I find it interesting (and bad) that many English-speaking fans appear to treat English-speaking fanartists one way and professional manga artists and Japanese fanartists another.
