Actually, let me add to that.
If someone were hassling me with my Photography, saying "Oh, I can't use this. The Photography industry/community/other artists are known for using their cameras to make porn, therefore, I can't use your photo of a family playing at the park", I would probably get that dumbfounded look on my face.
The Tool an artist uses does NOT define the art of the artist.
Yet, here we are, time and time again, rehashing the same arguments, week after week. Sometimes, we get a weeks' vacation from it. Really. If you don't want to tell your clients or readers what software you use, that's skin off your back, not mine. I'll continue to use my software for promos for Church, the local School district, as well as some small Family Oriented business.
The fact that some people utilize this software to make artwork that I don't and isn't what I make has NO bearing on what I make. There are oil painters that paint landscapes, there are those that paint nudes, those that paint abstracts, and those that paint still life images. If I were deathly afraid of the sea in one landscape, would that keep me from purchasing a still life of a violin and a vine? Nope.
Again...
The Tool an artist uses does NOT define the art of the artist.
