Art Theft/Not crediting & re-editing my work

As much as I love having my art displayed throughout wide social media's, I'd also like to point out that it does bother me when people do not ask permission when re-uploading my work on other social media's and re-editing my work to make it seem like it's theirs. If you are of legal age to be on social networks, it should give some of you some common decency to ask for my permission to re-upload my artwork but it is strictly unacceptable for you to steal someone else's including my artwork and re-edit it to make it seem like your own and then posting it on your social media to get likes. 

I've had at least three cases involving my art being used for the wrong purposes but those cases were considered okay and I didn't really mind since they didn't re-edit my work but I've recently come across a new one and it somewhat bothers me. No, It bothers me a lot. 
Here's a small(kinda) message to people who steal other artists artwork;

An artist took a substantial period of time to finish a piece of their work only to have it being stolen and re-edited and re-upload by a fake artist.
An artist took all the trouble to make a piece of artwork only to have it being used for other purposes without their permission.
Do you not consider an artists feelings when their art is being stolen? Imagine you worked hard on something only to find out someone had stolen it and used it to get credit from your work?
That would hurt wouldn't it. 

As a proud EXOstan, I love sharing my wallpapers and whatever piece of art I have with everyone but it saddens me when people do not take the time to credit the artists take so much time to make them.

So please, before you think of stealing and using other people's artwork, remember how they would feel and remember that if you are caught for art theft, It can be taken as a serious thing and is indeed against the law to do so.

I am not an admin on any facebook page unless I update this journal that says otherwise.
I  have a lot of social media accounts and all of them do not have a fake name, I use my real name that is either written in as Kamilah or in Korean. 
Any page on any social media using my artwork as theirs but not using my name is NOT me and unless they don't credit me, please tell me about it.
Stealing is a crime and you as a human do not want to be an online thief or a thief in any way.
