Criticising an artist =/= censorship

Suggesting people boycott an artist/their art =/= censorship

Harassment =/= censorship

Parodying/critiquing artwork =/= censorship

Disagreeing with larger social trends in media =/= censorship

Urging media creators to alter or remove artwork =/= censorship

Media creators willingly altering or removing artwork =/= censorship Now will you big pissbabies who call yourself Anti-SJWs stop crying censorship every time an SJW or feminist critiques an artwork???

Let’s get into your post bit by bit, and tear it to pieces, since that’s what this really deserves.

Criticizing art =/= censorship

You’re right, critiquing artwork generally isn’t censorship. However, you must understand what critique actually is –



a detailed analysis and assessment of something, especially a literary, philosophical, or political theory.

OR

evaluate (a theory or practice) in a detailed and analytical way.

Critique is not saying “I hate it.” That’s just being a dick. Critique is constructive, not destructive.



Criticizing an artist =/= censorship



Saying you don’t like an artist is one thing, but why do you think you’re entitled to go out of your way to single someone out just for the sole purpose of being a dick?



Suggesting people boycott an artist/their art =/= censorship

That’s what we call slander, when you purposely attempt to damage someone’s reputation, which can sometimes even be a crime. It is a form of harassment.



Harassment =/= censorship

Harassment is censorship. You are inflicting mental harm on someone, and trying to control what they do with fear and emotional harm. It is censorship through fear. Harassment isn’t condoned in the real world, so why would you think it’s condoned in the art world? It’s not.



Parodying/critiquing artwork =/= censorship

Parodies of artwork is a bit of a gray area – on one hand, it can easily lead to harassment, because you are still singling someone out. On the other hand, often times it’s considered plagiarism or art theft – Either way, it’s a bad area I wouldn’t’ advise you venture if you want someone to take you seriously.



Disagreeing with larger social trends in media =/= censorship

It’s your right to disagree, and has nothing to do with censorship.



Urging media creators to alter or remove artwork =/= censorship

You’re basically trying to tell them to change their work. That’s censorship.



Media creators willingly altering or removing artwork =/= censorship

It’s their choice, unless they’ve been coerced or forced.

Stop trying to justify your blatant harassment and disregard for people’s feelings besides your own.
