Why the hell is tumblr spreading the bullshit that deviantart sells artists work without permission again? (I’ve seen it 10 times TODAY at least)

it’s long been established that that information is WRONG.

The clause is there so they can display an artists work on their site (else, what’s to point of the site), it’s not saying they can give it to third parties.

People need to fact check and stop fearmongering.

This is it. This is the moment deviantART fucked it up forever.

WHAT.  THE.  FUCK.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.

Well, it goes a lot deeper than that.

sure, the choice of wording on that image is poor, but the actual article goes into much more depth.

So basically, slow down a little, and don’t take the damn thing as gospel off one damn piece of it. there’s a lot more to it.
