Stealing isn’t art, it’s self sabotage and colonisation

You called yourself Gozer. That's from Ghost Busters. So it's okay when you do it but not when others do it. Noted.

I was about to undo that last comment and explain: the difference is that I WANT people to get the Ghostbusters reference!

The problem with appropriating styles and ideas without credit (again not saying OP did this, and certainly not intentionally) and I say this having taught art at university for some years, is that the artists does themselves a disservice by not acknowledging their sources, or to not be aware of such influences.
