I would also buy this on a shirt. Where can I buy this? I want to buy this. This shirt I want to buy.

Just steal the picture and have it printed on some bootleg shop.

If you didn't know, I believe this image was made in response to specific bots that would throw up a link to an automated listing, with stolen art copy pasted on a t-shirt jpeg, whenever people on twitter said "I want this on a shirt".

Small artists had trouble defending their art from being stolen by these bots, and this image (and subsequent comments like "I want to buy this shirt") was a trap to get these bots in trouble with disney.

If you knew all this and I'm just rambling, ignore me
