New Artist: "You've inspired me to learn your artistic style and mimic your techniques. Now I'm going to tell my friends and they're going to start doing it too. And before long, there will be an entire artistic tradition based on your original works."

This is how it came across to me too but maybe there’s context I’m missing.

A younger or less-experienced person comes up, says “I drew this like you draw!” and you’re mad? That’s a you problem.

Think it’s that they’re saying it’s their own original art when it’s clearly at least replicating the first artist’s style.
