Sad Tuxy...

Description

I'm in a really sad mood lately so I just felt like doing this... :tears:

I think many of us said a lot of bad things to each other yesterday, a lot of those things were undeserved and uncalled for. :( It all got me thinking however that, whenever we start to fight with each other, we forget about each other's rights and we just tend to say "it should be my way or the highway"... We start to wage war neither of us wants and in the process we take away our freedom from each other... :no: Yesterday I mistakenly thought that Morgs was trying to limit our freedom by limiting OC submissions to the A-Fans group, but now that I see things from the other side I also think that it was actually me and not her who was limiting the freedom of those who wanted to see only the show-related art and were not interested in the OC art, which is also understandable... ^^; ~suprgrl1995 said a lot of bad things to the community, and she went at our freedom by saying that what we do is bad and, as such, she implied that it should not be done... :( But I think that artists should have their creative freedom, the freedom of expression... If what we do is something we enjoy, and we don't force anyone else to look at it or do it or get involved (thus we don't limit the freedom of others), please let us do it. :aww: So I still believe that she was wrong with the accusations. :( I don't think... well, I hope at least that we are not limiting her freedom of choice to look at what we are doing or not... I don't think we do, guys. :(

Freedom is important for each person... and for an artistic person it's twice as important. :aww: Let's not forget about the fact that we should all have this freedom yet we should not extend it so far as to limit the freedom of others. Freedom is always a balance... I pray and hope and will do my utmost to make sure that our debates of yesterday are resolved in the best and the least limiting way for everyone, so that no social group would feel limited or hurt... I don't know if it's possible, but Morgs and I will try to do our best to ensure that. :aww:

And as for the pic... Tux, the mascot of the best family of free operating systems in the world (Linux) that is free as in "freedom of speech", has become a symbol of freedom for me... On this pic he is very sad and crying because he sees all our acts of late and he disapproves and it makes him cry... He wants us all to reconsider our ways and find artistic freedom while staying friends. :hug: :huggle: I think the cutie needs a hug, as most of us do today... ^^; :hug:

This is my first picture done completely in vectors, in Inkscape 0.48. No GIMP, no MyPaint, no anything else, pure Inkscape. Inkscape is a great example of free software, free to download, free to use, free to share, free to modify... Free as in "freedom of speech", my friends. :aww:
