I learned a lot from my post yesterday.  The first being that I should have spent a little more time on the artwork I was using to get my point across.  This one is still a speed-paint (Took me like an hour this time.) and still has sloppy flaws, but eh!  The second thing I learned is that I should have drawn her just simply white, so I took inspiration from Garnet’s theme (which feels like 60′s-70′s to me) and gave her a 70′s vibe with the beehive disco hair.  She looks like a fembot, but that’s okay.  

First of all, fellow artists:

 Do not let anyone, no matter their race, gender, sexuality, creed or religion or anything else tell you what you can or cannot draw.  It is your art.  Do not let anyone censor you, ever.  And furthermore, do not feel bad for what you draw.  Love your art, even if other’s do not.

And to the others:

Do not ever think you are justified to bully another human being because you disagree with them.  You are not superior in morals or ethics just because you think you are.  If you don’t like what someone draws, don’t look at it.  If you are offended, go somewhere else. Support artists who DO draw things you like.  You supporting them means more to the community as a whole than you targeting artists who draw things you don’t like. You do not have a “Right” to not be offended by something.  And, if you truly think that the best response to something you do not like is to harass, threaten, and bully someone – you really need to give yourself a good, long look in the mirror and think about where you stand in life.

Yesterday was…well.  As I expected, honestly, though I was happy to see quite a few artists pop their heads in or message me about the issue of people trying to censor art. We need to come together as artists and art appreciators and stomp out this trend of harassment and threats on artists.

Censorship has no place in the art community.

As a final disclaimer, I would like to add that I am not attacking your little “Fandom”.  I am attacking art censorship, and the people who support it.

I really cannot comprehend how people reach so fucking hard to not find this racist.

Start here.

Like I said, I really don’t see why people reach so fucking hard to not find this racist. 

It’s the same thing as drawing a picture mocking a disabled person and then showing a disabled person said picture. 

It’s the same as drawing a pro-nazi picture and then showing a Jewish person said picture. 

Artistic license is not a fucking excuse to purposely want to offend a group of people just because you “can”. The issue with OP is that she steadily refused to acknowledge why people are disgusted by whitewashing and the harm it does to people who look up to representative characters.  

Actually, that’s the fucking issue with all of the people defending this trash. You all sound like the type of person who would say “I have a right to bear arms” whenever someone gets on you for having a gun in a no danger zone. Just because you have a right to do something doesn’t mean you should fucking do it. 

It’s called common decency. A lot of you fail to grasp that concept. And yes, she has every right to draw this piece of shit. But I also have every right to call this shit a piece of shit.
