Look. I understand that people being murdered is terrible and as artists, everyone on dA seems to want to make it about continuing our allowance for freedom of expression. However, that magazine was racist and sexist and bigoted and they are no martyrs. Seeing support for them on the front page is making me sick.

"Now, I understand that calling someone a ‘racist asshole’ after their murder is a callous thing to do, and I don’t do it lightly. This isn’t ambiguous, though: the editorial staff of Hebdo consistently aimed to provoke Muslims. They ascribe to the same edgy-white-guy mentality that many American cartoonists do: nothing is sacred, sacred targets are funnier, lighten up, criticism is censorship. And just like American cartoonists, they and their supporters are wrong. White men punching down is not a recipe for good satire, and needs to be called out. People getting upset does not prove that the satire was good. And, this is the hardest part, the murder of the satirists in question does not prove that their satire was good. Their satire was bad, and remains bad. Their satire was racist, and remains racist.”

In the Wake of Charlie Hebdo, Free Speech Does Not Mean Freedom From Criticism
You know who you could support instead? The Muslim individuals getting the backlash from extremist groups.
This is not an issue of "freedom of speech." It's illegal in France to wear face covering veils and burqas. Why aren't you fighting for them? Do people that want to practice their religion have less right than idiots telling them that their religion sucks? Extremists are terrible. But please get on the side of compassion and logic.
Je suis Ahmed Merabet, the Muslim police officer who died fighting for Charlie Hebdo's "right" to ridicule his religion.

ash eidolon : that's my username pretty much everywhere but here, right now!
because you gotta pay dA those cash money dollars if you want to change your username.
things happening:
- currently in process of losing the place I live because my step-dad has decided to sell the house
- my computer with all my things (art, photos, everything I've made in the last 10 years) has died and I may have lost everything on it
- being tired and panicked all the time
- trying to organize and consolidate stuff (like my username)
I think I'm writing this because I really would like to post some art, but it's hard with all this nonsense going on.

I think that massive update may have killed me.
Well, if you were wondering if I ever made art anymore, the answer was yes.
I gotta groove this during the weekend every weekend or something because, HOOBOY that was rough.
Wish me luck, hahahaaa.

Go back to tumblr you disgusting ignorant hate monger. Charlie Hebdo was an exterem LEFT WING magazeen that fought harder against racism and nationalism that you ever will.
