## I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this, but if you use a photo of yourself as your PFP and you send me a private message, I'm going to block you

## On DeviantART, there's been a lot of fake spam accounts saying they want to use your work for a mural or to collaborate, but these are scammers and most likely art thieves. It wouldn't surprise me if they start going nutso over here, so I'm going to be pretty strict here on who I let interact with me. I'm doing it to protect myself and my work, especially with all this AI (images) crap destroying artists' livelihoods

## So yeah, if you use a real life photo as your PFP instead of something you drew, that's an instant block from me. I'm not going to waste my time trying to verify if these accounts are legit or not. If you are a legit person but still use a real life photo, I'm sorry that I am forced to take these measures. Blame the liars, scammers, and thieves for that
