I think maybe you’re out of the loop here. This is part of a trend to screw over bots that automatically steal art and sell it on random sites. That’s why others are commenting stuff like “I’d buy this on a t-shirt!”.

The tactic has already been proven to work several times, when people post stuff like this, and then report the shops that steal it to Disney’s legal team. It’s a clever way to leverage Disney’s lawyers to protect regular artists who couldn’t afford to sue all these random websites.

Thanks. Other comments and replies have been alluding to this, but this is the only one that described the mechanism.

I understand the tactic, it’s still a parody.
