Other unused sprites from Violet Detector

There are more unused sprites than the ones mentioned in this particular post, you can find the rest at: /post/184510863039/ (bat forms), /post/187304872254/ (Eiki Shiki), /post/185520084644/ (Ran Yakumo), /post/185597819729/ (Yuyuko Saigyouji) and /post/186746662979/ (Raiko Horikawa).

The reason I decided not to delete the other posts and make a final post now with all the sprites is that I want it to be visible that they were posted in 2019. I found out something that has deeply upset me (more details under the cut).

I don't say two different people can't reach the same conclusion while independently researching something (because it can happen and that's perfectly normal), but some things are so obviously scraped from other sources without any regards of the other person's research. On tcrf wiki in the Unused Sprites section, you can currently find only the 5 characters that I posted about in 2019.

Somebody decided to just take the information from my website and post it on the tcrf wiki in 2023. No mention of where they found it. And don't tell me this was their own research of the game files because if it was a true research they would have found the other unused sprites as well. Or what, just because they posted the transparent background versions of them this means they shouldn't give credit anymore? I link back to information sources even if for the posts I take own screenshots and gifs.

How comes that only the info from the five posts specifically is there? It's too big of a coincidence for me to believe this was not taken from my website. Again, in many cases I am reasonable and am aware people can find same stuff on their own, but come on, this is clearly not the case here.

I did not post everything in 2019 because at that time I was still actively doing the gifsets with the characters' appearances. The last gifset was finished around 2022 and by then I realised there were quite a lot of unused sprites and it would be better just to compile them in one post rather than post them separately. I was going to delete the old posts at the end and have it all gathered in one final post. But changed my mind after seeing this.

When I take information from another website I link it in the decription of the post, why is it so hard when it comes to my research to be linked back when it's reposted on other platforms. It makes me so angry. How comes that when some people take information from other websites they link back to the source, but when stuff is taken from here it's as if my website doesn't exist at all.

It's so disrespectful.
