Since this is art related I'll rant here.

Because of the Steven Universe shit on Tumblr and now people being offended by how you may draw your own character (which was seen on here), I need to jump in here and give my angry thoughts.

DRAW WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. Doesn't matter if it offends someone else. YOU CAN DRAW IT. Of course you can't post certain things to specific sites because of rules, BUT BESIDES THAT DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

People are trying to police on what illnesses you can give to your characters or how you represent your character. Some people are even saying "if you don't have that illness you can't have your character with that illness."

BULL. SHIT. That is taking it TOO far. INSTEAD, you should encourage people to RESEARCH the said illness so they are getting it right. But even if the artist doesn't want to, it's their right.

It's just so frustrating to see people telling others what they can and can't draw. I'd draw protest art if I could handle a bunch of people attacking me. Instead, I'll just keep working on my own characters with whatever faults they may have. I am someone who likes to stay realistic, so I do do my research on various things, so maybe that's why I haven't been targeted by these people, but it's still pissing me off. :C

If something offends you because of how someone portrays their own character, just move on.

People find stereotypes offensive as well. Sorry, but I'll draw stereotypes. Why? Because I LIKE them, and they are "stereotypes" for a reason.

So go out there and draw what you want. Don't stop drawing just because people are saying they are offended by what you have created.
