Brief Explanation Regarding This Tag（英語での注意喚起）
※二次創作にオリジナルタグより転載
In pixiv, by its system, the "Original" tag is intended for non-parody works. Any artworks tagged "Original" are considered artists' own themes/plots/characters, not parodies of other copyrighted materials.
This tag, however, is often misunderstood as "made by myself, not a reupload" by some artists, especially non-Japanese due to how the word is interpreted for different culture. Users seeking "Original" creations find it misleading and consider a bit of a mess in one of the largest portions of the platform.
Thus, this 二次創作にオリジナルタグ ("Original" Tag on a Parody) was made in effort to mitigate the confusion. Everyone makes some mistakes; being tagged is not an offense but rather a polite notice, and this tag should not be abused in an offensive manner.
