Remember the recent controversy over the southern cross flag. African Americans were insulted and degraded by the very sight of it. The good ole boys claimed it was part of their history and they wanted to keep it flying over their government building, irregardless of what it represented to so many people. I agree many people these days are oversensitive to what is not politically correct. While others simply respect other's feelings. The continuous use of such symbolism (Hitler, the swastika, gay stereotypes, etc) shows not only a total lack of respect for other people, it announces to this forum (and the world) that "I am going to send a message and I'm proud of what I'm saying" It makes me sad that the KKK and White supremacy groups used to be somewhat hidden and clandesant, but have now come "out of the closet" using the free speech BS as some sort of sheild. Obviously this problem is not isolated at Renderosity, but this type of "art for the sake of confrontation" saddens me and makes just one more unsafe to be. You all have your right to look at it, defend it, give it life and make it grow. But in the end it's still what it is...a step back into the wrong direction.
