While I understand that the intent was to flatter, the act of posting other people's pictures is unsettling. Especially, if it's done without the photographer's knowledge and consent. I know this phenomenon is fairly ubiquitous on the internet, but many amateur and professional photographers put a lot of time and effort into what they shoot and plagiarism (not exactly the case here, but uncomfortably close) functions as a real deterrent for some individuals. We live in a digital age where the goal for many posters of media (photos, videos, and news) is to go viral. However, that's not the goal of everyone. For some, there is an expectation (regardless of how silly this might be given the reality of the web) of control over where and when their content is shared. I'm not attempting to speak for whomever originally took these pictures, I don't know them (I don't even have their screen-names). Instead, I'm speaking from my personal perspective as someone who places a premium on respecting the artistic expressions of others.

Please don't take this as me putting people on blast, I'm just presenting a perspective. Plus, let's keep in mind the theme established by the OP of this thread:

Post cool pics of your toys doing things, or pics of your toys doing cool things, or just pics of your cool toys.
