One of the driving forces behind organic advertising is through expressions of Art. Stifling creativity from fans that are Artists not only hurts them, but also hurts the band and the band’s image. It can stop people from wanting to become a listener or fan. Especially when there is blatant bias on who’s getting attacked the most. There are many fake shops selling and profiting off fake merchandise. But the ones getting the most attention and attack are the Artists just sharing their work. Making no profit off of any of it. The amount of effort going into attacking the Artists could easily bring down all the Non Legal Merchandise sellers. Who are also stealing art from the Artists. Do better.
Megan supported: RICO MANAGEMENT PLEASE ALLOW NONCOMMERCIAL FAN ART AND COSPLAYThe beautiful work of these artists and cosplayer should not be targeted. They are part of what makes this community great. Their talent, time and dedication should not be punished and targeted.
Thalia supported: RICO MANAGEMENT PLEASE ALLOW NONCOMMERCIAL FAN ART AND COSPLAYThis act separates and isolates and artist from those who love and celebrate their work. Non-commercial fan art, cosplay, and such does not hurt the Artist, but rather supports and lifts up the artist. The act of isolation of a Fandom from the source of their enjoyment is a sure way to sabotage the success of an artist, be it Sleep Token or any other. These are the same fns who will spend countless dollars on tickets, merchandise, music, and more, who are expressing their love for the artist. You know who is using the band for profit and who is being inspired, there is a difference. And the real Fandom will call them out.
William supported: RICO MANAGEMENT PLEASE ALLOW NONCOMMERCIAL FAN ART AND COSPLAYFanart and cosplay are a way for fans to connect with the band, and shouldn't be targeted but encouraged for their creativity! It helps spread the love and create community. This crackdown is so far beyond anything reasonable. Worry instead about the actual scammers stealing official art (as well as fanart) and profiting!
Violet supported: RICO MANAGEMENT PLEASE ALLOW NONCOMMERCIAL FAN ART AND COSPLAYFan art is a vital part of the Sleep Token community - it allows fans to express their deep emotional connection to the music and the lore in a uniquely personal way. The Sleep Token universe is rich with symbolism, mystery, and emotion, and fan art gives people the freedom to explore and interpret that world visually. Restricting fan art stifles creativity and would disconnect fans from a key way they share and celebrate their love for the band. Allowing it not only honors the spirit of devotion Sleep Token inspires but also strengthens the bond within the fan base.
Heather supported: RICO MANAGEMENT PLEASE ALLOW NONCOMMERCIAL FAN ART AND COSPLAYFan art and cosplay are an act of love from the community- to remove them from platforms is heartbreaking. If no one is selling anything- it should not matter. It’s an original piece or work done by an artist. It’s not commercial and it’s not being done for profit. It’s fair use.
