… that make it more user-friendly and whatnot, but I don’t understand how you can just casually alter someone else’s work. It’s the same as looking at an illustration and going, “It sucked so I fixed it for you.”
So let me come up with another analogy:
I bought a Japanese chef knife, love the craftmanship on it, but need to sharpen it every know an then. Also the handle came off in the dishwasher, so I 3D printed one with Kirby on it.
Also, the analogy does not apply to an undamaged painting. A painting that can be viewed cannot be inproved function wise.
Although I am all for derivate work of that painting. For exmple in another medium.

Like this 3D / VR painting based on Van Gogh: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/van-gogh-d828cf07eacd4f14bb48576731ec7833
You shouldn’t wash kitchen knives in the dishwasher. Or any utensil with wood or bamboo in them.
I actually don’t, this was for sake of the analogy and the freedom of being able to :)
well tell the you in the analogy to care for their knives better. we have standards here on lemmy
