Antis love to use Jaws when defending their stance.
“Jaws’s inaccurate portrayal of sharks has caused needless fear of them. Fiction affects reality!”
But the problem is not that Jaws exists; the problem is people’s inability to separate fiction from reality. The problem is a lack of understanding.
I’m always reminded of this when artistic freedom is challenged. These people *refuse* to take personal accountability for their engagement with art, and instead insist that artists not create art they find problematic.
Its recursive loops of the “video games incite violence” argument, on steroids.

if you value a free and democratic society then you have to trust the vast majority of people have sound moral understanding, and respond penally only when they prove otherwise.
and if you can't do that then I beg that you go to therapy instead of becoming a fascist or a useful idiot to one.
looking to a text for moral affirmation is the function of propaganda or religion, and that's what moral policers are trying to morph fiction into
art is not a holy bible nor is it a judicially approved social etiquette manual, it's inherently transgressive because YOU do the critical engagement

so many people need to be told that self loathing isn't humility

Heavily debated on adding Sly to my 9 as well because I *adore* them, but it was a hard choice!

A digital portrait of Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun, viewed as a side profile. He’s wearing a rosary around his neck. His face is upturned toward the sky, eyes closed, with a soft smile on his face. The background is a painterly sky with luminous clouds backlit by the sun. A thin golden ring frames the uppermost part of his head.
Finished my Wolfwood portrait🌞
Drawing & rendering the rosary almost ended me, but I think it turned out okay✨

The fact that Spider-Man and SpongeBob are art is less important in this context than the fact that both are fictional—that’s the point.
this is still the realest thing ever said about america
affirmations for the artists and the sickos. you will not feel bad about using references or 3d models in a time when the most rat faced soulless tech ceos are burning billions of dollars and trees for a slop machine that they will call art with their whole fucking chest
The context of the tweet is referring to real world situations where a person’s boundaries are violated, but I think the media discourse slots into everything we’ve come to know about what the arbiters of sexual “purity” stand for.
It bears repeating: Every store that said that Horses is too extreme for them to sell is lying. Blatantly.
There's nothing in the game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated movie. And it's FAR milder than COUNTLESS titles on Steam right now.
But it's easier than admitting a smear campaign worked

…Oh, and if you shop at Goodwill, don’t. Just fucking don’t. I know the country is in the throes of a recession where everything is godawful expensive, but Do. Not. Shop there.
You’re contributing to what is functionally a masterclass in worker exploitation & a host of bad-faith practices.
If I could’ve afforded the consultation, I would’ve lawyered up about it; it was truly THAT bad. The psychological abuse extended to HR, who minimized my pleas for fair treatment down to gaslighting me about my intolerance toward my conservative coworkers’ “beliefs.”
Fuck corporate America.
LRP I will never forego an opportunity to reiterate that I was repeatedly harassed, bullied, and outright denied medical care by my former employer on the basis of my transgender identity. Transgender discrimination in the workplace is painfully common!
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
Would anyone be interested in prints of this piece? Been considering how I want to get started with printmaking and I’m feeling pretty good about this one being my first!
Aww, thank you! I took great care to ensure that his nose looked *just* right haha🩵

This was really hard, so to narrow down my favorites, I tried to choose ones that have had a significant impact on me in one way or another. NITW wasn’t the most fun to *play* per se, but its story will always stick with me as someone from a small conservative town.
