I'd like to hear the moderators' opinions. I have a set of 3 "Peace T-shirt textures for P4W" ready, just to provide a counterpoint-download; as Phantast says, it's not that difficult. HOWEVER, I've hesitated to upload it for the very reasons Phantast and casamerica describe. I want to be a "good guest" at Renderosity, and save expressions of my vehement opinions for those places where it's considered appropriate. I also want to express my admiration to the folks at Renderosity for appreciating that politics-through-art is acceptable, and even creating a genre category for it. Given the venerable history of such expression, I always have found the assertion that art should stay "away from all that" faintly ludicrous. But the Renderosity understanding of this principle has redoubled my desire not to abuse that understanding - as I said, to be a "good guest". And finally, 'cause I just can't resist a snarky comment: Is it just me, or is using an artistic website to make a political point - slamming actors for making political points - kinda... contradictory? Ironic, even? April Follies
