I hardly see the point of making a cake and showing it to a wide variety of people with only the purpose of looking at it. At the end of the day, making a cake is to usually have the intention to share it with others, unless you only want to eat it yourself, which you have the freedom to do so, just don't put it in front of other people. Obviously, that analogy is the same with artwork. People put effort into literally everything in this world, and using someone's artwork for something so minor like a RP is not even worth caring about. If it bothers you, then you're free to abstain, I just see no reason why I really should give a damn.

It's still something that someone put time and effort into it, and I'd be pretty damn disappointed to see a bunch of people I don't even know using my artwork for something I didn't give them permission to. It doesn't matter if it's just an RP, it's still someone's art that they did not give you permission to use. You should give a damn because it's stealing and incredibly rude to just take someone's art and slap it into a post with no rhyme or reason or permission.
