Technically, yes it isn't stealing, but when someone else gets what's meant to be for another person you feel bad and you use the term stealing because it's what makes sense in the meanwhile. And when everyone that steals uses it in that connotation and hypes themselves up as some legends because they stole a pixel on an online website you start to grow distaste for the word and use it as such.
gentlemang yeah just because the majority of people use the word does not mean it is not stealing further more I think people need to check themselves if they get up in arms about a pixel designs on an online site. Now if the design went to someone with 0 designs I would feel bad for the person but when people in hte past condemn someone stealing their design and I go to check their profile and they have 2323232323232 gifts I have no sympathy. Also I do not call it stealing because as you pointed out it isnt stealing. Maybe I am insentive to this because I rarely get gifted nor care about the design aspects.
gentlemang Also I have seen 1t sales and 50ts sales when I was casually looking at the shop and I never take them because I know they are intended for someone else but if I did take one I would not feel bad about it but I dont think cutieamy even cares
